Sharing knowledge of green plants, imparting potted plant skills, full of greenery, and ultimate living, all in the small potted plant shack. Welcome, flower friends, to this issue of the flower cultivation class at the small potted plant shack. This is our 1507th flower cultivation special! Thank you all for your continued attention. Today, we would like to share some knowledge about "potted carnations" with you, hoping it will be helpful for you to cultivate them.
Whether it's a birthday or a holiday, flowers have gradually become one of the important choices for gifts. With Mother's Day approaching, many friends are certainly preparing gifts for their moms. Most people who don't have better ideas will choose a bunch of fresh-cut carnations, using the meaning of flowers to convey blessings. However, thoughtful friends can cultivate their own potted carnations. Since the blooming period of potted carnations is from May to August every year, if you start cultivating now, they will bloom next month! Moreover, Mother's Day is in May, so wouldn't it be better to send a carnation potted plant full of new ideas on that day? I have planted one. But how should we take care of carnations in daily life?
Carnations come in many colors. Whether choosing to grow from seeds or seedlings, it is first necessary to choose according to the preferred color, and then also pay attention to the color and texture of the pot to see how to match them beautifully. Moreover, you need to understand its habits, such as how to make it bloom more, water requirements, and potting soil type.
A flower, suitable for mom, blooms from May to August, cultivate now, and it will bloom next month.
1. Water requirements for potted carnations
Carnations are drought-tolerant flowering plant varieties. An overly moist environment for an extended period is not conducive to growth. Therefore, it is best to water thoroughly after the potting soil dries out, and at the same time, be careful that accumulated water does not remain at the bottom of the pot for too long, which can prevent the roots from breathing and affect the growth state. However, as the blooming period approaches, the frequency and amount of watering should be increased appropriately to ensure the fullness and condition of the flower buds.

2. Additional fertilization
If you want the flowering potted plant to grow better than others, you need to put more effort into fertilization, and carnations are flowers that like a lot of fertilizer. First, mix some bone meal into the potting soil before planting or cultivating to provide a nutritional foundation for the plant. When the vigorous growth period arrives, pay attention to the application of liquid fertilizer to ensure the healthy growth of the plant. Fertilization should be paused during the blooming period to avoid the branches and leaves growing wildly and taking away nutrients. You can also prepare a fertilizer pack to be used after the first batch of flowers fade, to ensure a better state for the carnations in the following year or the next.
3. Multiple pinching to increase the number of flowers
Naturally, a gift with more and better blooms is more popular. After understanding the impact of basic conditions during maintenance, if you want more carnation flower buds, you need to pinch once during the seedling stage to allow more side buds to sprout from the stem. Then, when the side buds grow to 4-6 leaves, pinch again to stimulate the growth of more side buds. Finally, after the flower buds form, remove the side flower buds on each stem to give the main flower bud at the top more energy, so that the flowers can be large and abundant.
