Introduction to Dianthus Growth

Dianthus likes to grow in a sunny, ventilated and cool climate. It is cold-resistant and drought-resistant, but not heat-resistant. It avoids waterlogging and grows better in fertile, loose and well-drained loam.

Dianthus is one of China's traditional famous flowers. Its origin is in Northeast my country, North China, the Yangtze River Basin and Southeast Asia. Except for South China, it is distributed almost all over the country.

Dianthus growth cycle

Dianthus planting is divided into sowing, cuttings and division. The time for sowing is chosen in spring and autumn, preferably in autumn from September to December, when the climate is suitable for growth. The time for cuttings must be chosen in autumn, and October to February of the following year is very suitable. Division planting can be chosen in early spring and autumn, which are March-April and September-October respectively.

Dianthus growth rate

Potted dianthus should be grown in culture soil. If planted in the field, it needs to be watered once every half a month and liquid fertilizer should be applied once every 10 days during the growing season. The seeds of dianthus sown in autumn will mature in July of the following year. After harvesting, the above-ground part of the plant can be cut off. New branches will grow in August and it will bloom again in September and October.

Dianthus is a very fast growing plant. It usually germinates in about five days after sowing and has very strong vitality.

Dianthus Growth Cycle Management

The yield of dianthus is 300 branches per square meter, and the production of flowers reaches 2 batches. When the planting density is 50 plants per square meter, the number of flowers collected from each plant reaches 6 branches. According to 2 flower collections, the number of effective side branches left for each plant should be 3 branches. When the planting density is about 37 plants per square meter, the number of side branches left for each plant should reach 4 branches.

Dianthus is prone to withering or poor growth during the high temperature season in summer. When planting, you should pay attention to giving it appropriate shade and cooling. It likes plenty of sunlight, dryness, ventilation and a cool and humid climate.

Temperature management : The most suitable temperature for dianthus growth is between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is high in summer, pay attention to proper shading and cooling. In winter, it should be placed in a greenhouse and the temperature should be kept above 12 degrees Celsius.

Fertilization management : Dianthus is a plant that likes fertilizer. Only with sufficient nutrients can it promote healthy growth. Generally, fertilizer is applied once every two weeks. When fertilizing it, it is necessary to pay attention to the method of applying fertilizer in small amounts but frequently. The fertilizer should mainly contain nitrogen elements, which can make it grow more robust.
