3. Daily maintenance

1. Soil: Carnations are suitable for growing in alkaline soil. You can add appropriate amount of sand and humus to the potting soil to increase drainage and provide nutrients.

2. Watering: Carnations are relatively drought-resistant, so do not water them too much. But you can water it a little more during the growing season to ensure that its branches and leaves grow lushly. In addition, during the rainy season, move the plants indoors in time to avoid rain and avoid water accumulation in the pots.

3. Fertilization: Carnations have a high demand for fertilizer. During the growing season, top dressing should be applied frequently, generally once every 10 days. It is more appropriate to use well-rotted, dilute fertilizer water.

4. Pinching: Pinching can encourage more flowering. Generally, the first pinching is done when the seedlings have grown 8 or 9 pairs of leaves, leaving only 4 to 6 pairs. After that, when the side branches grow 4 pairs of leaves, pinch them for the second time to keep the whole plant with 12-15 side branches. During the bud stage, leave one at the top of each side branch and remove all the others.
