Carnations , known as the "flower of mother", are especially popular during Mother's Day. Carnations have a long flowering period and can continue to bloom beautifully. The flowers are double-petaled, elegant in shape and highly ornamental. Can carnations be propagated by cuttings? How to feed? Can carnations be propagated by cuttings? Carnations can be propagated by cuttings, usually in autumn and winter. Key points for carnation cutting propagation 1. Choice of cutting time Carnations prefer cool climates, so cuttings should be avoided from the hot months of June to August, but can be done at other times. It is ideal to take cuttings from February to March, which is in line with the growth characteristics of carnations. 2. Preparation before cutting Cut side shoots from healthy carnation plants, keeping the length between 5 and 10 cm. Only keep the top leaves and remove other leaves and flower buds to reduce nutrient consumption. Use sandy soil rich in humus and add an appropriate amount of perlite to enhance aeration. 3. Cutting operation Soak the cuttings in water for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove them and insert them into the soil 2 to 3 cm deep. Keep appropriate spacing between cuttings to avoid overcrowding. Water thoroughly immediately after cuttings to ensure the soil is moist, and then place in a cool and ventilated place. 4. Maintenance after cutting Avoid watering immediately after cuttings. Maintain moisture by spraying the leaves, and then water appropriately after the soil is dry. During the rooting period, about one month, proper light exposure is required, about 3 hours a day. In short, choosing the time for carnation cuttings, preparing and executing the cutting operation, as well as proper maintenance in the later stage can improve the success rate of carnation cuttings.
