Carnations are mainly propagated by seeds and cuttings. The suitable temperature for seed sowing and germination is 20℃, and the time required for seed germination is longer, which takes 10-15 days. Flowers can only bloom 140-160 days after sowing. The optimum temperature for plant growth is 5-20°C. When the temperature is higher than 30°C, the plant stops growing or even dies. The carnation potted substrate requires good drainage and is rich in organic matter, and the cultivation environment requires sufficient sunlight. If the temperature is too high or the light is insufficient, the plants are easy to grow, the branches are slender, the plant type is poor, and it is not easy to bloom. Cultivation Technique 1. Soil: requires good drainage, rich humus, good fertilizer retention performance and slightly alkaline clay soil. 2. Watering: Carnations grow strong and are more resistant to drought. In rainy and humid areas, the soil is easy to compact, and the root system develops abnormally due to poor ventilation. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to loose soil and drain in the rainy season. In addition to the growth and flowering season, water should be timely. Less water can usually, in order to maintain the soil moisture is appropriate.The humidity of the air should be kept at about 75%. Properly spraying water to adjust the humidity before flowering can prevent the buds from cracking in advance. 3. Fertilization: Carnations likes fertilizer. Apply sufficient baking fertilizer and bone meal before planting. Liquid fertilizer should be applied continuously during the growth period. Generally, the decomposed thin fertilizer should be applied every 10 days, and the topdressing should be applied after the flowers are picked. 4. Others: In order to promote the carnation to have more branches and more flowers, it is necessary to perform multiple toppings from the seedling stage: when the seedlings grow 8 to 9 pairs of leaves, perform the first topping, leaving 4-6 pairs of leaves; wait for the side branches to grow When there are more than 4 pairs of leaves, the second time is to top off. Each side branch retains 3-4 pairs of leaves, and finally the whole plant has 12-15 side branches. During pregnancy buds, only one flower bud is left on each side branch, and all the small flower buds and side branches that germinate in the leaf axils below the top should be removed in time. Cut off the peduncle in time after the first flowering, leaving only two buds at the base of each branch. After repeated topping in this way, the plant shape can be beautiful and the flowers colorful.
