Change your living space to be more fresh by simply growing carnations at home.

Carnations, also known as Dianthus caryophyllus, come in a variety of colors, from red, pink, white to purple. This flower is also a popular choice for many families to grow at home because of its simple care and low time-consuming nature.

Accordingly, housewives can choose carnation varieties, from single petals to double petals to suit their needs. However, when choosing flower varieties, priority should be given to healthy plants that are free of pests and diseases.

At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the soil is loose, well-drained and rich in nutrients. The soil can be mixed with organic fertilizer, sand or coconut fiber to increase ventilation for the plant.

The ideal time to sow seeds or cuttings is in early winter when the weather is cool. With the sowing method, sow seeds directly into moist soil, then cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. Keep the soil moist and the seeds will germinate in about a week.

As for the cutting method, housewives should choose healthy flower branches from the mother plant. After cutting, the branches are planted in a treated substrate, such as clean sand or burnt rice husks. It is necessary to maintain good humidity by watering regularly.

When caring for carnations, housewives should note that this is a flower that loves natural light, the ideal temperature is from 12 to 20°C and the plant should be placed in a place with moderate light.

Maintain constant humidity by watering regularly every 1-2 days but not too much to avoid waterlogging. During the dry season, increase the frequency of watering to prevent the carnation from wilting.

When the flower plant begins to bud, use NPK fertilizer at the appropriate ratio and fertilize regularly to help the plant grow healthily and bloom brightly.

Carnations are also susceptible to pests and diseases. Therefore, using fungicides or pesticides properly will help the flowers bloom beautifully and last longer.
