How to make carnations bloom quickly? Can I spray water on the flower buds?

1. How to promote flowering

1. Adequate light: Carnation is a light-loving plant. Adequate light can promote the differentiation of its flower buds and also help photosynthesis, so that the plant can accumulate nutrients and bloom better. Usually the daily sunlight time is about 6-8 hours, and appropriate shade should be provided at noon to avoid exposure to the sun.

2. Suitable temperature: Carnations usually bloom in warm seasons. If the temperature is too low, the flowers will not only fail to bloom, but may also fall off. The temperature should be controlled between 13-35℃. If it is too cold, you need to take cold-proof measures. You can cover it with a plastic bag to keep warm. If it is too hot, spray water to cool it down.

3. Water when the soil is dry and wet when the soil is wet: Carnations do not require much water, so there is no need to water them too much. If the soil is too moist, it will not be conducive to the plant's flowering. Normally, you should water the plant when the soil is dry and when it is wet, so that the soil in the pot has a certain degree of moisture, but there should be no accumulation of water. You can spray water around to increase the humidity of the air.

4. Apply small amounts of fertilizer frequently: Applying some fertilizer to carnations can also help promote flowering. Usually, adding a little phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering can make the flowers bloom as early as possible. In addition, the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled during the growing period. If too much is applied, it will cause the plants to grow too tall. In addition, when it is hot in summer, you should stop fertilizing in time.

5. Reasonable pruning: Proper pruning can help carnations bloom again. If there are too many flower buds on the branches, you can also thin out the buds to concentrate nutrients and promote the remaining buds to bloom better. In addition, daily pruning can reduce nutrient consumption and help its growth.

2. Can it spray water?

If you want to prevent the carnation buds from opening prematurely, you can spray them with water before they bloom to delay their flowering time. But don't spray too much water, as too much humidity will cause internal rot.
