Carnation Flower Arrangement Techniques and Combinations
Here are some small knowledge of flower cultivation, sharing techniques and combinations for carnation flower arrangement and carnation hydroponics. Let's get to know each other.
Carnations are flowers that can be chosen for several occasions, symbolizing friendship and support. Nevertheless, in one arrangement, all flowers including carnations benefit from companion flowers or supporting flowers. Fortunately, there are several flowering plants that complement the appearance of carnations, whether in bouquets or home decorations.
Chrysanthemum
Several varieties of chrysanthemums can be purchased at flower shops. These plants consist of bright green and blurred spheres, with large flowers blooming on tender stems, focused on the central stage. Due to their diverse varieties and colorful colors, they are often paired with carnations, which also come in colorful hues.
Edelweiss
Edelweiss, with its green stems and tiny snow-white flowers, serves as a complementing flower in various floral arrangements including carnations. It plays a supporting role in the gaps between larger flowers, such as carnations and chrysanthemums.
Lily
The unique downward curling petals and very prominent stamens are the hallmarks of lilies, making them flowers that stand out. Unlike some other flowers that serve as a background for carnations, lilies are usually the center of attention, with carnations providing a colorful background. However, there are also some smaller lilies available, which can be used as complements in bouquets where carnations dominate.
Carnation Flower Arrangement Techniques and Combinations
Rose
Roses come in colors ranging from deep red to yellow, white, and pink, almost as many colors as carnations, and they match carnations very well. The size of roses is similar to that of carnations, but they are not blooming flowers, instead, they are more conservative, semi-open flowers. However, in combinations with carnations, roses are often represented equally because they are not as eye-catching as carnations, nor too large to serve as a complement.
Wax Flower
Wax flowers can be used for large flowers, single flowers, and small spherical bouquets, making them a good complement to carnations. However, because the larger varieties are large enough to occupy a central position in flower arrangements, they should be used with caution when combined with carnations. Wax flowers range from white to pink, even purple, with five different petals and prominent stamens.
