When do carnations bloom?

1. Flowering period

Because it is a commonly used flower for Mother's Day, it blooms before Mother's Day and its flowering period is generally from April to September. The specific length of the flowering period is mainly related to flower bud differentiation and maturity time. Generally, the time from flower bud differentiation to flowering is fixed, which is about 30 days.

2. Extend the flowering period

Since the time from flower bud differentiation to flowering is fixed, in order to advance the flowering period, the flower buds need to differentiate earlier.

1. Adequate light: Adequate light can promote the differentiation of flower buds. The plants can receive sufficient light before flowering.

2. Maintain suitable temperature: Its suitable growth temperature is 14-21℃, and this temperature range can make the plant grow faster.

3. Timely pruning: Cut off the side branches that have bloomed, are not blooming or are growing too long in time to provide nutrients for the branches, promote the growth of new buds, and re-differentiate new flower buds, thereby forming a time difference between each plant and increasing the flowering period.
