Dianthus (Dianthus chinensis), also known as Chinese pink, Luoyang pink, stone chrysanthemum, embroidered bamboo, and carnation. Here is how to care for the flower.

Temperature: the growing temperature is 7-20 degrees, it can withstand winter, and with proper winter care it can bloom in all four seasons. Light: in summer, diffused light is preferable, with appropriate shading to avoid harsh sun exposure.

Soil: dry, fertile, loose and well-drained calcareous alkaline sandy soil is best; clay soil should be avoided. Fertilizing: during the growing season, apply a compound fertilizer once a month, and calcium fertilizer can be added. Pruning: removing flowers encourages more branching and more blooms; pruning promptly after flowering can bring a second flush of blooms.

Pests and diseases: rust disease is common, along with red spider mites and aphids. Three Rural editor: Nong Xiangbiao
