The watering intervals for carnations vary greatly from period to period. Plants in the slow seedling stage should be watered less, wait until the soil is dry before watering, no more than 2 times a week. During the growth period, sufficient water supply is required. The pot soil should be kept moist and can be watered every 2-3 days. Water sparingly after fertilizing to avoid burning the roots. You can stop watering during the dormant period in winter. If it is too dry, use a watering can to spray water to moisturize.

1. Watering during the seedling stage

1. Watering during the slow seedling period

Carnations will go through a slow seedling period after being repotted and replanted. At this time, watering should not be too much. Because the roots have not adapted to the new soil, watering too much will not absorb it, and it is easy to cause root rot. Wait until the soil dries out, then water thoroughly, once every 3-4 days.

2. Watering during the growth period

Carnations should be watered well during the growing season. It has a high demand for moisture at this time, and dry soil will cause poor growth. Generally, watering is required every 2-3 days to keep the pot soil moist for a long time. But watering should not be too much, and there should be no accumulation of water in the basin.

3. Water after fertilizer

Don’t water carnations too much when fertilizing to prevent the fertilizer from completely dissolving into the soil and causing burns to the roots. You can use liquid fertilizer, which can be diluted with water. Water and fertilizer should be poured directly into the pot, and do not drip onto the leaves to avoid damaging the leaf surface.

4. Watering in winter

Carnations grow slowly in winter and should not be watered too much. When the temperature is too low, it will enter a dormant period. Do not water it at this time, otherwise it will easily frostbite the roots. If it is too dry, you can use a watering can to spray water appropriately.
