How long does the flowering period of multi-head carnations last?
The green plant maintenance tips about how long the flowering period of multi-head carnations lasts and the small-scale carnation pot planting methods are introduced to you by the network. Next, let's introduce it by the editor.
Carnations are divided into single-head and multi-head types, they come in rich colors, usually bloom double petals, with various and bright colors. Common colors include red, pink, yellow, green, white, purple, etc. There are also bicolor series, such as yellow with red edges, white with pink edges, pink with purple edges, etc.
The fresh cut carnation has a relatively long flowering period, about one week in summer and up to three weeks in winter. Not only are they beautiful, but they are also super durable. Why don't many people like to grow them? People who have grown carnations will find that they emit an unpleasant odor after being placed in water for one or two days. This is because the carnation stems are prone to bacterial growth and easily rot and smell bad when soaked in water.
Actually, this situation can be avoided:
1. The water in the vase should be as little as possible, generally not more than 5 centimeters high in summer and not more than 10 centimeters high in winter.
2. Cut the roots and change the water daily. Cutting the roots involves trimming the rotten stems, and cleaning the vase and replacing the water with clean tap water when changing the water.
3. A small amount of flower preservative can be added to the water.
Daily root cutting and water changing can not only prevent odor but also extend the flowering period of the carnation. Carnations are quite sensitive to ethylene, so they should be avoided from being placed with fruits that release ethylene after ripening (apples, bananas, mangoes) or cigarettes, to prevent accelerated wilting.
The flower language of carnations is enthusiasm and "I love you, mother," so they are often given as gifts to mothers. A pure arrangement of carnations is very beautiful, and pairing them with roses or lilies also adds a special charm.
