【One, When do carnations bloom】
Carnations usually bloom in summer, but there are many varieties of carnations, so some varieties may bloom in a season, and some even bloom throughout the year. However, the flowers sold in the market now are common varieties, so their blooming period is relatively long, but they still bloom from the end of spring to the beginning of summer.
Therefore, with good care, the blooming time of carnation buds is significantly提前, and after the buds are initiated, long hours of sunlight have almost no effect on the differentiation and formation of the corolla. At the same time, from the bud initiation to the completion of the flower bud and the blooming time, it is usually around 30 days and is unrelated to day length or variety.
【Two, How long is the blooming period of carnations】
The blooming period of carnations is generally from April to September, and the blooming time is affected by sunlight. Carnations prefer cool and dry, sunny, and well-ventilated ecological environments. Regular sunlight conditions can promote bud differentiation and blooming in carnations. Carnations are cold-resistant but not heat-resistant, with the optimal growth temperature being 14-21 degrees Celsius. When the temperature exceeds 27 degrees Celsius or is below 14 degrees Celsius, the plant grows slowly.

【Three, Carnation blooming period cultivation methods】
<1, Enhance temperature>
Carnations like sufficient sunlight and good ventilation conditions for growth, with the most suitable temperature range being 14-21 degrees Celsius. If the room temperature is higher than 27 degrees Celsius or lower than 14 degrees Celsius, it can lead to slow growth and other issues, so only when the temperature is reached can carnations bloom.
<2, Control the amount of fertilizer>
Generally, the soil used for planting it needs to be appropriately fertilized, and if there is no base fertilizer, the amount of fertilizer should be increased appropriately during normal times. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are used more, and nitrogen fertilizers should be applied less frequently, with the best frequency being once every 7 to 10 days. Be careful not to spill fertilizer on the leaves during fertilization and make sure to incorporate the fertilizer into the soil at the root of the plant.
