On the balcony at home, as long as a few pots of flowers and plants are raised, our home will become beautiful and look so natural, warm and comfortable. When summer comes, the temperature rises gradually and the light becomes very strong. Some succulent plants and potted flowers will be sheltered from the sun. So if the balcony is bright, we want to raise some flowers, and we can raise some potted flowers that don't need shading, so that even in hot summer, beautiful flowers will bloom.

Among them, there is a kind of flower, although it is very common, but the color is very bright and the flowering period is very long. It is not afraid of the sun, and the brighter it shines. It's a carnation. It's worth keeping on the balcony. It can be propagated by cutting or sown. The planting method is simple.

First, how to breed carnations.

If you want to raise carnation flowers, you can plant them by cutting or sowing. Cutting time can be selected in March, April or May in spring. As long as the temperature is kept at 20 degrees, roots can grow after 20 days. If you sow with seeds, the germination growth rate is relatively fast, and it usually takes one or two months to grow to blossom.

Cut the branches of carnation by selecting some tender lateral branches, and break them directly, instead of using scissors, cut them into the sand. The cutting depth is about 2 cm. Spray water in time after cutting to maintain a certain air humidity. In this way, the rooting speed is fast and the survival rate is high.

Second, how to make carnations bloom more and last longer.

1, coring in time

First of all, in order to make it blossom more, more and more, we need to make it more branched and grow more branches. To make it more branched, the first thing to do is to pick the top. When carnation grows to more than five pairs of leaves, it can be picked.

Keep five pairs of leaves, and then core for the second time after the lateral branches grow out. After this coring treatment, the branches of each carnation will grow to fifteen, so there will be more branches, more buds, beautiful plant types, colorful flowers and beautiful flowers.

2. Give Dianthus plants more sunshine.

Dianthus likes plenty of light, so it can't be kept in a cool place, and the light is not enough. It would be nice to shade properly in summer. Potted Dianthus chinensis can often be supplemented with fertilizers, such as cake fertilizer or other organic fertilizers and compound fertilizers.

When watering carnation, it should be noted that it is not necessary to water it too often except in summer, because it is afraid of water accumulation and water stains, so it is not necessary to water it too much. If you plant it in the ground, water it in summer. A flower that can be cut and sown can bloom for 200 days on the balcony, colorful! Some pictures come from the internet.
