Cultivation of carnations in winter requires a certain amount of light and a maintenance temperature of above 9°C. It is best to maintain them indoors or in a greenhouse. Plants have lower water requirements in winter, so water accumulation must be avoided when watering, and the flowerpots must have good drainage and air permeability. Do not apply thick fertilizer in winter, but use thin liquid fertilizer or plant ash once a month.

1. Light

1. Light

Because it is a plant that prefers light, so in winter, we can put it in the sun when the sun comes out. You can use a light on it, but of course it's also feasible without a light.

2. Temperature

It still has a certain ability to withstand low temperatures, but if the temperature is below nine degrees Celsius, it will not grow as fast as we hope. , so in winter we'd better use certain methods to raise the temperature. If that's not possible, we can also use a film to cover it, or send it directly to the greenhouse.

3. Water

Water It is still necessary, but we need to control the amount because it cannot accumulate water. It is usually best to use drip irrigation, which can avoid the pain of water accumulation and the growth of the plants will be satisfactory.

4. Soil

The soil must be kept fertile, and the pot must be chosen well. The ventilation and drainage conditions must be good, so that it can be grown well.

5. Fertilization

In winter Fertilization is also indispensable. Generally speaking, we need to fertilize every half a month. There are many choices of fertilizers. Our common thin urea water or the ashes of burned grass can be used. It provides nutrients. However, we must also pay attention to one thing, that is, we cannot apply too thick fertilizer to it.

6. Pests and diseases

Although the number of pests and diseases may be greatly reduced in winter due to the influence of temperature, this does not mean that there are no pests and diseases at this time. At this time, it is best for us to prevent and control in advance and use the necessary chemicals to remove the pests. If the pests have already appeared due to the lack of removal, then we can take measures to kill them. For example, we know that leaf spot will occur in winter. At this time, we need to keep it dry, pay attention to drainage and ventilation, and use fungicides every week to treat it.
