- Soil requirements: Dianthus caryophyllus prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. The soil should be rich in organic matter and have good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
- Sunlight needs: These seeds require full sun to partial shade. Ideally, they should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and blooming.
- Watering requirements: Water the seeds regularly but avoid overwatering. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not soggy. Watering should be done in the morning to allow the foliage to dry out during the day, reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Dianthus caryophyllus seeds is in the spring after the last frost has passed. They can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the 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: The seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions. Maintain a soil temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for best results.
- Maturity time: Dianthus caryophyllus plants usually reach maturity and begin to bloom within 12-16 weeks after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest the flowers is early in the morning when the blooms are fully open and the temperatures are cooler.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the stems just above a set of leaves. This encourages the plant to produce more blooms. Store the cut flowers in a cool, dark place in a vase with fresh water to prolong their vase life. Regular deadheading of spent blooms will also promote continuous flowering.
