How to deal with dianthus after it blooms? Should the dried flowers be cut off after blooming?

Treatment after flowering of dianthus

1. Pruning : After flowering, dianthus needs to be cut off with sharp scissors to help it save nutrients. At the same time, the branches and leaves that are poorly growing or cannot grow normally should be cut off to improve ventilation between plants.

2. Provide water : Dianthus is suitable for growing in a humid environment. Its soil needs to be kept slightly moist, and it is best to provide the dianthus with mineral-rich river water or lake water so that it can absorb more nutrients and grow better.

3. Suitable light : Carnations like to grow in an environment with sufficient light so that they can carry out photosynthesis normally after flowering, and provide them with appropriate shade when the light is too strong to avoid strong light burning the plant.
