1. Choosing soil Carnation needs loose soil to make its roots stretch better, and it also needs a rich and water-retaining substrate. General soil, peat soil and coarse sand can be mixed according to the ratio of 6: 3: 1. Such soil can not only provide nutrients to carnations in time, but also promote carnations to bloom beautiful flowers.
2, light temperature In the cultivation method of carnation, it is necessary to put carnation in a well-lit place for cultivation, which can make carnation branches differentiate into more flowers, but try to avoid direct sunlight when it is hot in summer, and move carnation indoors in winter, and control the temperature at about 10℃.
3, water and fertilizer management Carnations generally need to spray water on the soil when the basin soil is dry, so that the soil should not be dried for too long, and don't pour too much water every time to avoid the accumulation of water and rotten roots affecting growth. You can also use manure and compost as the base fertilizer of the soil every time. When the carnation basin soil grows, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied every 7 ~ 10 days.
4. Trim and remove the core. When the carnation grows to 30cm, it needs to be properly enucleated, and when it grows to 50cm, it needs to be enucleated again. When the carnation blooms, it can keep 8 ~ 10 lateral branches, and all the others are cut off to promote the better growth of the carnation.
5. Cutting propagation Every autumn 10, you can cut off the thick lateral branches in the middle of carnation, then soak them in rooting water, control the temperature at 15 ~ 20℃, soak them for about 5 minutes, take them out and insert them into the prepared soil, wait for about 20 days, and the branches of carnation will take root.
