Carnations always fail to grow well and struggle to survive summer? This care experience might help you

This section summarizes carnation care so everyone can share their experience together:

Light: Carnations love sunlight; apart from the seedling stage and peak blooming period, try to maintain sufficient light

Watering: When watering, try to avoid getting water on the leaves; when watering, water the roots, not the leaves, to prevent disease

Temperature: Prefers cool temperatures; the optimal growing temperature is 9-21°C, with a night temperature of 9-10°C being ideal. If the day-night temperature difference is too large, the leaves become narrow, the flowers small, and the branching weak. In summer, if the temperature is above 35°C, or in winter below 9°C, growth slows or even stops, or abnormal performance occurs.

Cleanliness: The water-holding capacity of the potting soil should be kept at 70%. In winter, when the light duration is short and the intensity is weak, appropriate water control can prevent the plant from becoming too spindly and weak.
