So do you know how to grow carnations?

How to plant carnation seeds (when to plant them)

1. Buy the seeds first. The seeds of carnations are very small and thin, so be careful not to blow them away.

2. Secondly, find a flowerpot with holes, which has good water permeability and air permeability. Fill up the fertile soil and, if possible, put some ceramsite at the bottom to increase water permeability. After filling the soil, sprinkle the seeds gently on the soil.

3. After sowing the seeds, you can sprinkle a thin layer of soil on the seed surface to prevent the seeds from being blown away and conducive to rooting. Sprinkle some water gently. Place ventilated, ventilated and bright places where the sun does not shine directly. Sprinkle water frequently so that the soil will not dry. It will sprout after a while.

4. Carnations are easy to raise. Try not to let them grow up, otherwise they will not look good. If you grow taller, you can build him a small bracket to prevent him from becoming ugly.

5. Keep the soil fertile and hydrated, and then you can enjoy the carnations.

The breeding method of Carnation

Carnations are mainly propagated by seeds and cuttings. The suitable temperature for seed sowing and germination is 20 ℃, and the time for seed germination is longer, which takes 10 to 15 days. It could not blossom until 140 ~ 160 days after sowing, and the optimum temperature for plant growth was 5 ~ 20 ℃. When the temperature was higher than 30 ℃, the plant stopped growing and even died. Therefore, it should be cultivated in winter and spring in South China. During the Spring Festival flowering production, sowing and cultivation should be carried out in cool areas (high mountains) from August to early September. Carnation pot substrate requires good drainage and rich in organic matter, and the cultivation environment requires plenty of sunshine. If the temperature is too high or the light is not enough, the plant is easy to grow, the branch is slender, the plant type is poor, and it is not easy to bloom.

Growth characteristics of Carnation

Carnation is not a rich flower, has the same character as a mother, likes a warm, moist, sunny and well-ventilated environment, is not resistant to heat, and is semi-dormant in summer. it should be planted in loose, fertile slightly acidic soil and avoid waterlogging. The optimum growth temperature is 14 ℃ to 21 ℃ (13 ℃ to 15 ℃ in winter and 18 ℃ to 20 ℃ in summer). The temperature difference between day and night should be controlled below 12 ℃ in one day. If the temperature is too low, then the growth is slow, even does not blossom, the temperature is too high, the growth is fast, but the stem is thin and weak, the flower is also thin and small, if continuously in the case of high temperature, the plant will appear tufted rosette, the stem and leaves will be luxuriant without bud blooming, such as the high temperature will also appear in the bud stage.

Points for attention of carnations

1. During the vigorous growth period of spring and autumn, it is appropriate to keep the soil moist to meet the needs of growth and development. When the growth is inhibited during the high temperature period in summer, watering should be controlled to strengthen ventilation in order to keep the basin soil slightly dry.

2. In general, when "Frosts Descent" enters the greenhouse before and after, the most suitable temperature control is true 10-20 ℃. In order to prolong the florescence, the temperature can be increased or lowered appropriately. Efforts should be made to reduce the humidity in the greenhouse in order to reduce the occurrence of diseases.

3. Topdressing should be based on the principle of diligent application of thin fertilizer. Potted plants can be topdressing with thin mature liquid fertilizer every 7-10 days.

4. Enter the room in winter and train in places with plenty of sunshine and good ventilation. If the temperature is suitable, the florescence can be extended to March of the following year.

5. Coring should be carried out 1-2 times at seedling stage to promote branching, so that each plant has about 10 lateral branches. After picking the heart, the plant is graceful and blossoms. With the growth of branches, brackets should also be set up to prevent lodging. During the growth period, the lateral buds and small flower buds produced on each branch should be removed in time, and only one flower bud at the top of each branch should be retained, so that nutrients can be supplied to the top bud.

I believe that when you buy carnations, you usually buy seedlings or potted plants that have already bloomed, and there are also bouquets of flowers that you buy directly, and few people buy seeds directly for planting. In fact, if there is elegance, you can buy your own seed planting, you can not only enjoy the planting process, but also reduce the cost a lot.
