How to care for dianthus before and after flowering

one. Before flowering:

1. Moisture. When it is forming flower buds and preparing to bloom, you should always pay attention to its demand for water. Normally, you should water it immediately when you see the soil is dry, but because it is forming flower buds, its demand for water is relatively large, so it needs to be watered in time.

At this time, you must be careful not to be greedy and water too much at one time, causing water accumulation. This plant is very afraid of waterlogging. If you water too much, you need to drain the water in time. In addition, before it blooms, you should spray water around it appropriately to increase the humidity of the air. This can prevent the flower buds from cracking before they open.

2. Fertilizer. Because it needs to bloom, it needs to absorb a large amount of nutrients for the development of flower buds. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that fertilizer liquid is added every 10 days. The fertilizer solution used needs to be diluted and can be applied together with watering.

3. Temperature. In summer, be sure to shade it, and in winter place it in a well-ventilated place facing the sun to ensure it gets plenty of light.

two. After flowering:

1. Pruning. After the flowers wither, you should promptly cut off the remaining flowers at the base of the flower stems. Soon new flower stems will grow between the leaf axils.

2. Temperature. Keeping the ambient temperature between 14 and 28 degrees can keep it blooming for a long time.
