Carnation propagation methods
An introduction to the propagation methods of carnations and the seedling raising methods of green plants and flowers, let's get to know them together next.
Although carnations can be easily purchased in the market, there is no need to spend that money. In fact, learning to propagate can turn one pot of carnations into many. However, most people don't know how to propagate potted carnations. The methods are actually very simple. Just follow the illustration of the carnation cutting propagation method below, and you can easily learn the propagation methods of carnations, so you can try it yourself. This article is compiled by Fresh Flowers 24-Hour National Outstanding Florists and Quality Physical Flower Shop Alliance.
【One, How to Propagate Potted Carnations】
There are three methods for propagating carnations, the simplest being cutting propagation. In addition to this, there are also seeding and layering propagation, which are relatively more troublesome. Especially seeding propagation requires a lot of time to cultivate, and there can be no mistakes during maintenance, otherwise it will directly affect the normal growth of the plant.
【Two, Carnation Propagation Methods】
<1. Layering Propagation>
There are many options for propagating carnations, and layering propagation is one of them. Just select a branch, cut the bark where it touches the ground with a knife, press the soil on it, and after a month of careful maintenance, it can take root and sprout.
<2. Seeding Propagation>
This propagation method is only chosen by experienced flower growers, as it is too troublesome. It needs to be sown in spring, and the temperature should be maintained at around 20 degrees, not too high or too low, otherwise it is difficult for carnations to sprout. Therefore, the maintenance is also very troublesome, and beginners should not choose seeding propagation.
<3. Cutting Propagation>
How to propagate carnations
Cutting propagation is the simplest method. Just select a healthy branch and transplant it to another pot, then carefully cultivate it to make it survive. Therefore, the survival rate is much higher than seeding propagation. The specific propagation steps illustration is below, and interested flower enthusiasts can take a look.

<1. Select Cutting Seedlings>
Besides buying carnations from the market, you can also pick a healthy seedling from the garden. Although this method is a bit unethical, you can also borrow a branch from relatives or friends. After completing the cutting, you can return a pot to them, so propagation can turn one pot of carnations into many.
<2. Perform Cutting>
Usually carried out at the beginning of January, the insertion depth is about 2-3 centimeters, with a spacing of 5-6 centimeters between plants and rows. After inserting, water once more. Do not water for the next 10 days, and water again when the surface soil turns white, avoiding over-wet and rotting roots.
<3. Rooting and Sprouting>
Usually, seedlings take root in about 50 days. When the new seedlings grow to 6-8 centimeters, carefully dig up the seedlings with the root soil and plant them in the seedbed, slightly increasing the spacing between plants and rows. After planting, water, and fertilize with liquid fertilizer after 10 days, then fertilize again after another 10 days. When the seedlings grow to 12 centimeters, they can be transplanted.
<Conclusion>
: Through the detailed introduction above, I believe everyone now knows how to propagate potted carnations. In fact, just by following the illustration of the carnation cutting propagation method above, you can easily learn to propagate. With careful maintenance, one pot of carnations can suddenly burst into bloom, and it is also possible to propagate into multiple pots.
