How to divide dianthus flowers into pots and when and how to divide them

When to divide the dianthus flower pot

Dianthus can be divided into pots at any time, because dianthus is highly adaptable and can survive successfully no matter when it is divided into pots.

How to divide dianthus flowers into pots

1. First, remove the soil ball of the carnation from the pot as a whole, then wash off the soil at the roots of the plant with water, so that the roots are fully exposed, and trim the rotten or old roots.

2. Prepare a pot with holes at the bottom and place some coarse pebbles on the bottom of the pot. This will help with drainage and prevent root rot. It will also allow the air in the pot to be renewed more quickly, making it easier for the roots to breathe.

3. Pour a mixture of culture soil and ordinary garden soil into the pot to one-third of its height, and add a little nitrogen fertilizer to help the leaves grow. Put the pruned plants in, fill the soil, and water them thoroughly at once, and the work of dividing the pots is done.

Matters Needing Attention When Transplanting Dianthus

1. When transplanting dianthus flowers into different pots, it is best to keep as much original soil as possible on each plant, so that each plant can adapt to the pot as soon as possible. If the original plants are too dense, you can cut them directly with a knife. If the density is less, you can gently break them apart with your hands.

2. The soil used for dividing carnations into pots should be loose, fertile and well-drained. Generally, a small amount of calcareous substances, such as old wall lime, limestone, etc., should be added to the leaf mold to adjust the acidity and alkalinity of the soil and try to adjust it to neutral soil.

3. After the carnation flowers are divided into pots, if they wilt, water them thoroughly once to allow the potting soil to absorb enough water. Be sure to wait until the potting soil is dry before watering again. It is also necessary to spray water on the leaves once a day. If the plants wilt, place them in a cool place in time for maintenance and do not expose them to the sun.
