The stems of carnations are relatively upright, with few branches, and the leaves are long and narrow, mostly linear-lanceolate. The flowers are solitary at the ends of the branches, are fragrant, and are mostly pink, purple and white in color. When maintaining, use soil with good water and fertilizer retention capabilities, and maintain long-term sunlight every day. Watering is mainly concentrated during the growth and flowering stages, and should be watered less often. Fertilize once a week with cake fertilizer, water or compound fertilizer.

1. Morphological characteristics

1. Stem: The stem of carnation is relatively upright, and the base is lignified, and the branches above are sparse.

2. Leaves: The length of carnation leaves is between 4 to 14 cm, the width is 2 to 4 cm, and the shape is mostly linear-lanceolate.

3. Flowers: Carnations usually bloom from May to August. The flowers are usually solitary at the ends of branches and have a certain fragrance. The petals are obovate and the colors include pink, purple and white.

2. Maintenance methods

1 . Soil: Carnations are suitable for growing in loose and breathable soil. It would be better if it has the ability to retain fertilizer and water. Too much clay soil is not conducive to its development.

2. Light: Carnations need to receive long-term light. The longer the sunshine time, the more it can promote flowering, and it is not afraid of being exposed to the sun.

3. Watering: Carnations should not be watered too much. Generally, you can water them more appropriately during the peak growing season and summer, and you can also add some water during the flowering period. Keep the soil at a certain level of moisture, but not too wet.

4. Fertilization: When planting carnations, base fertilizer should be applied in the pot soil. During the growth period, cake fertilizer, water or compound fertilizer should be applied once a week to ensure that the plants grow as quickly as possible.
