Dianthus Planting Time

1. Seeding and Planting

When planting dianthus, the surrounding temperature should be maintained at around 20 degrees Celsius. This temperature range is suitable for growth, so spring and autumn are both suitable for planting. However, if planted in spring, it may be difficult to survive the hot winter. It may be stuffy and cause damage to the plant, making it difficult for it to survive later. Therefore, the most ideal time is September to December in autumn, when the climate is suitable for growth and the growth rate can be guaranteed.

2. Cutting Planting

Cutting is also one of the commonly used methods, and the time should be chosen in autumn, October to February of the following year is very suitable. The branches can be cut into 5-6 cm tender branches, and the leaves on the lower part should be removed and not left on the top. Prepare a breathable and drainable substrate, then insert the branches into it. They will take root in about 15-20 days.

3. Planting by division

Division planting can be done in early spring and autumn, with March to April and September to October being the most suitable times. If the plant is divided in April, it will bloom again in October. Take the plant out of its original pot, shake off the old soil on the outside, trim off the old and rotten roots, and then plant them in two pots respectively.
