Carnation seedling growth process

1. Sprouting and taking root

The carnation seedlings have just begun to sprout new buds, and are constantly taking root, absorbing nutrients from the soil. The number of roots is increasing, and they are gradually developing. The leaves above will also emerge, and the number of leaves will gradually increase. The temperature during this period is very critical, and it is more suitable to keep it at 20-25 degrees Celsius. At this time, the seedlings are still relatively weak, so special attention should be paid to maintenance.

2. Continuous Extension

With the action of chlorophyll, the plant will continue to grow longer, the distance between nodes will gradually increase, and the stem will become thick and strong. The root system is basically mature and is highly differentiated. The leaves expand very quickly, becoming larger and more numerous, and their color changes from light green to dark green. This period is the main period of nutritional growth. Adding nitrogen fertilizer can promote rapid growth of the plant.

3. Open flowers

Some flower buds on the plant can grow, and as they continue to differentiate, the flowers will bloom. The number of flowers will gradually increase, gathering together in clusters. It only blooms once a year, from April to September. After the flowering period ends, the flowers will gradually wither and fall off.
