When do carnations bloom
Here is a sharing on when carnations bloom and a brief description of the blooming period of carnations in the field of green plants and flowers. The following is a detailed explanation by the editor.
Carnations are very beautiful flowers. On Mother's Day, people buy carnations for their mothers because they touch people's hearts just like roses on Valentine's Day, as a way to repay the grace of their mothers' upbringing. However, many people do not know when carnations bloom, so they are also not very clear about how long the blooming period of carnations is. Let's find out together with the editor.
【One, When do carnations bloom】
Carnations usually bloom in summer, but there are many varieties of carnations, so some varieties may bloom in one season, and there are even varieties that bloom all year round. However, the flowers sold in the market are common varieties, so their blooming period is relatively long, but they will still bloom from the end of spring to the beginning of summer.
Therefore, under good care, the blooming time of carnation buds is significantly提前 (advanced), and after the bud initiation, long-term sunlight has almost no effect on the differentiation and formation of the corolla. At the same time, the number of days from bud initiation to bud completion and blooming is generally 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 usually from April to September, and the blooming time is influenced by sunlight. Carnations prefer cool, 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.
When do carnations bloom
If you want to keep the flowers vibrant, certain measures can be taken to maintain their color. The first method is to cut them in water. In addition, a small amount of water can be placed in the vase, but this water needs to be changed frequently. Moreover, substances such as boric acid can be added to maintain their vibrancy, but the concentration of boric acid should not be too high, around 2% is feasible.
【Three, Breeding methods during the blooming period of carnations】
<1, Enhance temperature>
Carnations like sufficient sunlight and good ventilation in their growing conditions. The optimal temperature for their growth is within the range of 14 to 21 degrees Celsius. If the room temperature is higher than 27 degrees Celsius or lower than 14 degrees Celsius, it will lead to slow growth, etc. Therefore, only when the temperature is reached, can carnations bloom.
<2, Control the amount of fertilization>
Usually, the soil used for planting them needs to be appropriately supplemented with base fertilizer. If there is no base fertilizer, the amount of fertilizer should be increased during ordinary times. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are used more, and nitrogen fertilizers should be applied less frequently, with the best frequency being once a week to ten days. Be careful not to sprinkle fertilizer on the leaves when fertilizing, and simply incorporate the fertilizer into the soil at the plant's roots.
