Nursery Stock 0 views
Dianthus is mostly propagated by seed, sown in September at a temperature of 12-18°C, and seedlings emerge in about 10 days; it can also be propagated by cuttings, cutting 6 cm long branches as cuttings. For potting, it is best to use a culture soil mixed with 7 parts garden soil, 1 part compost soil, and 2 parts sandy soil. When the seedlings grow to 4-5 leaves, they can be transplanted into small flower pots with a diameter of 6-8 cm; after growing into larger seedlings, they are then planted in flower pots with a diameter of 15 cm and placed in a sunny spot for cultivation. During the growth period, apply fertilizer water once every 10-14 days, and the flowers

During the growth period, apply fertilizer water once every 10-14 days, and the flowers will be abundant and the leaves lush. Watering should be done so as to keep the pot soil moist; if watered too much, the roots are prone to rot. After flowering, pruning should be done in time, and it can bloom again. In winter, it is best to place it indoors in a sunny spot, and maintaining a room temperature above 5°C is sufficient for it to overwinter safely.
