Carnation, flower language: I love you, Mom. It is a common flower in daily life, with exquisite shapes, fresh and elegant, often used to express love, gratitude, blessings, and respect for parents or elders, especially favored during Mother's Day, but it can also be given to a loved one.
Care process:
1. Soaking the flowers
After removing the outer packaging, cut off the bottom of the stem by 2 centimeters, then find a container with plenty of water, place the flowers in a deep container, making sure the flower heads do not touch the water, soak for 2-3 hours, then trim and place in a vase. (Remember, carnations should not be soaked in deep water for too long!)
2. Trimming the stems
When trimming carnations, cut at the position between the two lower nodes, diagonally at a 45-degree angle, which can better increase the water absorption area;
Also, be careful not to cut too long at once, adjust the length of the branches according to the height of the vase chosen, usually keeping the distance between the flower head and the vase at 10-15 centimeters.
3. Removing leaves
Remove excess leaves, especially make sure there are no leaves below the neck of the vase, as this is not conducive to ventilation between the stems and can cause the leaves to rot in the bottle.

4. Pay attention to the water level
Carnations are better with shallow water, usually with the flower stem in 3-5 centimeters of water is enough, as the stem can easily rot in water, and too high water level can increase the range and speed of decay, so the water level should be relatively low.
5. Change water frequently
It is best to change the water for carnations every day, clean the vase each time, and make sure the water added to the vase is clean, also clean and trim the roots each time the water is changed.
Additionally, you can add some preservatives to the water, if available; if there are no preservatives at home, a couple of drops of disinfectant can be added to the water to inhibit bacteria.
6. Other small knowledge of carnation care:
① Carnations enjoy sunlight but the temperature during care should not be too high and should avoid direct strong sunlight!
② Keep away from ripe fruits to prevent the influence of ethylene gas, which can accelerate decay!
③ Remember, do not let the petals or flower heads touch water, and avoid spraying with a small spray bottle, as it can easily cause rot!
④ When arranging flowers, do not make it too tight, keeping ventilation between the stems is more conducive to care!
