How to grow carnation in potted plants1. Potting soil: When caring for carnations in pots, you must first choose a suitable flowerpot. The size should be appropriate, and you can choose according to the size of the plant. It should have good air permeability. The soil used should also be loose, breathable, and fertile. Sandy soil can be used. 2. Light: Carnation is a full-sun plant, so it has a great demand for light. Adequate sunlight can promote its growth and development, and also allow it to bloom earlier, and the flower color will be more colorful. However, it needs appropriate shade in the summer. 3. Fertilizer and water: Carnations have shallow roots, so the amount of water should be controlled when watering. Normally, watering should be done every 3 days to keep the soil moist. Sufficient base fertilizer should be applied during planting, and appropriate topdressing should be done after the flowering period. Precautions for carnation maintenanceWhen caring for carnations in potted plants, you need to pay attention to regular pruning. When they grow to 16 cm in height, they need to be pruned and the tops removed, leaving only 5-8 side buds below the plant. After the flowering period, the withered flowers and buds must be cut off. During the maintenance period, carnations will definitely encounter a large number of diseases and pests, which will cause great harm to the plants, so they must be sprayed with medicines in time, and then placed in a well-ventilated place for maintenance. |
