Premise of carnation planting

For carnation potting, the first thing to pay attention to is to choose a high barrel basin with large inner diameter. Mineral water bottles are not available. It can be planted in clay pots or purple sand pots. The soil should be rich in organic matter and have good drainage performance, but do not apply concentrated fertilizer. Carnations are best planted in dry air, sufficient light and well ventilated environment. Avoid high temperature and humidity. The optimum growth temperature is 19 ~ 21 ℃

Planting method of Carnation

Seed reproduction

The suitable temperature for seed sowing and germination is about 20 ℃, and the germination takes a long time, generally 10 ~ 15 days. Generally, carnations can blossom about 140 days after sowing, and the appropriate growth temperature is between 5-20 degrees. If the temperature is higher than 30 ℃, the plant will stop growing or even die

Cutting propagation

In addition, carnations can also be propagated by cutting. When cutting, plants without pests, strong and close internodes should be selected. Generally, the cutting time should avoid the hot stage in summer, and the cutting effect is the best from late January to early February

The cuttings can be selected from the side branches with a length of about 8 cm in the middle of the branches. When picking cuttings, the side branches should be taken down along the main branches to make the cuttings have node marks, which is easier to survive. Cutting immediately after harvest or wetting the cuttings with water before cutting. Cutting soil is general garden soil mixed with a small amount of rice husk ash or sandy soil

After planting, it should be watered frequently to maintain humidity, and shading should be done well. The room temperature is 10-15 ℃, rooting can be carried out in about 20 days, and transplanting and colonization can be carried out after a month
