Sowing method:
1. Before sowing, soak the seeds in clean water for 6-8 hours. This will allow the seeds to absorb water and promote rapid germination.
2. Put a little soil in the flowerpot, not too much, and then water it thoroughly. Scatter the soaked seeds on the surface of the soil around the flowerpot. They must be scattered and not piled together. This will affect the germination rate. After sowing, cover 0.5 cm of soil, pour it with a little rooting powder mixed with water, and then cover with a layer of plastic wrap (pierce the plastic wrap for ventilation), and finally put them in a place that can maintain soil moisture ( Because there is plastic wrap, so basically do not need to water).
3. Wait for germination: When the seeds begin to germinate, they may only sprout a few buds in advance, but don't worry. Generally, the total germination time of seeds is 25 to 30 days, and immediately after germination, remove the plastic wrap on the surface and let them bask in the sun. In the subsequent watering, do not water the soil without drying, and water thoroughly when the soil is dry!
Tip: If you remove the cling film, you can lift up half of it first, and then completely remove the cling film after 1 week, so that the seedlings can adapt.
•Soil: requires good drainage, rich humus, good fertilizer retention performance and slightly alkaline clay soil.
•Watering: Carnation grows vigorously and is more resistant to drought. In rainy and humid areas, the soil is easy to harden, 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 timely watering during the peak season for growth and flowering, you can always water less, as long as you keep the soil moist. It is advisable to keep the air humidity around 75%. Properly spray water to moisturize before blooming to prevent the buds from cracking in advance.
•Fertilization: Carnation 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 water is applied once every 10 days, and the topdressing is applied after the flowers are picked.
