Nurturing your carnations to bloom beautifully involves understanding their specific needs and providing the right care. Start by planting them in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight, as these vibrant flowers thrive in bright conditions. Regular watering is crucial, but be careful not to overwater, as carnations prefer slightly dry soil between waterings. Fertilize them every six to eight weeks with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Pruning spent blooms and deadheading will encourage new growth and more flowers. Protect your carnations from pests and diseases by keeping an eye out for any signs of trouble and taking prompt action. With the right techniques and a bit of attention, your carnations will reward you with stunning, long-lasting blooms.
