Highlights:
- Product Type: Bonsai
- Use: Outdoor Plants
- Full-bloom Period: Summer
- Type: Blooming Plants
- Variety: Carnation
- Soil requirements: Carnations prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.7 and 7.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: Carnations thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. They can tolerate partial shade but may not bloom as profusely.
- Watering requirements: Water carnations regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Planting season: The best time to plant carnation seeds is in the spring after the last frost has passed. In warmer climates, they can also be planted in the fall.
- Depth and spacing: Plant carnation seeds at a depth of 1/8 inch (3 mm) and space them about 12 inches (30 cm) apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Carnation seeds typically germinate within 2 to 3 weeks under optimal conditions. Maintain a soil temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for best results.
- Maturity time: Carnations generally reach maturity and begin to bloom about 3 to 4 months after planting, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest carnations is early in the morning when the flowers are fully open and the petals are firm. This ensures the longest vase life.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the stems at an angle. Place the cut flowers in water immediately to keep them fresh. Store harvested carnations in a cool, dark place to prolong their vase life. Regularly deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
