1, soil: loose, fertile and well-ventilated soil should be used to raise carnations.
2. Temperature: 19-2 1℃, and the temperature difference between day and night should be within 10℃, not higher than 35℃ in summer and not lower than 9℃ in winter.
3, lighting: in addition to the seedling stage and full flowering stage, try to give it light.
4, watering: see dry and wet, not too much.
5. Fertilization: There should be base fertilizer in the soil and topdressing in the growing period.
Matters needing attention in carnation cultivation:
1, keep the soil moist during the vigorous growth period in spring and autumn to meet the needs of growth and development. In summer, the growth is restrained in high temperature period, so it is advisable to control watering, strengthen ventilation and keep the basin soil slightly dry.
2. Generally, the temperature should be controlled at true 10 ~ 20℃ before and after the "first frost" enters the greenhouse. In order to delay the flowering period, the temperature can be raised or lowered appropriately. We should try to reduce the humidity in the greenhouse to reduce the occurrence of diseases.
3. Topdressing is based on the principle of thin fertilizer and diligent application. Potted plants can be topdressed with dilute decomposed liquid fertilizer 1 time every 7 ~ 10 days.
4, indoors in winter, cultivated in a sunny and well-ventilated place. If the temperature is suitable, the flowering period can be extended to March of the following year.
5. At seedling stage, l ~ 2 coring should be carried out to promote branching, so that each plant has about 10 side branches. After picking the heart, the plants are beautiful and have blossomed. With the growth of branches, supports should be set to prevent lodging. In the growth period, the lateral buds and small buds produced on each branch should be removed in time, and only one bud at the top of each branch should be kept, so as to supply nutrients to the buds at the top.
6. It is advisable to keep the soil moist during the vigorous growth period in spring and autumn to meet the needs of growth and development. In summer, the growth is restrained in high temperature period, so it is advisable to control watering, strengthen ventilation and keep the basin soil slightly dry. Generally, it enters the greenhouse around the "first frost", and the temperature is controlled at 10 ~ 20℃. In order to delay the flowering period, the temperature can be raised or lowered appropriately. We should try to reduce the humidity in the greenhouse to reduce the occurrence of diseases.
Carnations are mainly distributed in temperate Europe, Fujian and Hubei in Chinese mainland, and are native to the Mediterranean region. Carnation is the main export variety of Kenya and the largest export flower variety of Colombia in the United States. Widely cultivated in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and other Asian countries. In Europe, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Britain and the Netherlands all have large-scale cultivation.
