Small carnations express great affection and it is most appropriate to plant a pot to give it to your mother.

Carnations must be familiar to everyone. When can carnations be used on weekdays? The answer is nothing but Mother's Day. Yes, Huahua recently found that when I grow up, I always feel homesick. In fact, I won't do anything special when I get home. I just watch TV and have dinner with my family. Even so, I am willing to go home. That haunted place.

When it comes to home, there must be a mother. So today Huahua is going to tell you how the carnation is raised, and when the carnation grows up and blossoms, you can bring it home to your mother.

Soil

The key to the cultivation of carnations lies in the soil. Carnations like soils with good looseness and good permeability. Such soil is most suitable for sandy soil, and sandy soil has good permeability. We can also mix some sandy soil and rotten leaf soil evenly and then use it. If there are conditions, you can also add some nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

Light

Carnations like light, sufficient light can make the flowers of carnations more beautiful. Only two cases can not be exposed to sunlight, one is in the carnation nursery stage, the other is when the carnation blossoms. At these two times, excessive sunlight will cause carnation plants and flowers to be easily damaged. If the sun is too strong at noon in summer, you still need to do some shade treatment.

Fertilizer application

Carnation is a plant in great need of fertilizer, enough nutrients to ensure the growth rate of carnation, generally every 10 days or so can apply thin liquid fertilizer to the carnation, when the flowers will be picked, also need to add fertilizer. People who are more in pursuit of perfection can also apply some leaf fertilizer on the leaves of the carnation, which can make the leaves of the carnation green and more beautiful.

Watering

Carnations should not be watered too much. Carnations should be watered once after planting. Carnations need water when they grow and blossom, so the amount of watering can be increased appropriately during this period. Don't water too much at other times, just make sure the basin soil is slightly moist.

Other

There are other things to pay attention to, such as the carnation is in a short dormancy period in summer, when the carnation should not be fertilized or forced to grow. The most suitable temperature for the growth of carnations is 19-25 degrees Celsius, so take measures to keep plants warm and cool in other seasons, and cut off the remaining flowers after each flowering period of carnations, which can promote the germination of new branches. Carnations can also grow better in the coming year.

The above is the method of growing carnations. Have you all learned it? If there is a suitable opportunity to give a gift to her mother, Huahua thinks that a blooming carnation is a good choice.
