Carnation (brief introduction to morphological characteristics and preservation methods)

Carnation stems are relatively upright, with few branches, long and narrow leaves, mostly linear and lanceolate. Flowers are solitary, fragrant in the branches, and the colors are mostly pink, purple and white. When maintaining, use soil with good water and fertilizer retention ability and keep the light for a long time every day. Watering is mainly concentrated in the growth period and flowering period, and it is usually less watered. Fertilize once a week, using cake to fertilize water or compound fertilizer.

I. Morphological characteristics

1. Stem: The stem of carnation is relatively upright, the base will be lignified, and the branches on it are sparse.

2. Leaves: The leaves of carnations are 4 ~14cm long and 2 ~ 4cm wide, mostly linear and lanceolate.

3. Flowers: Carnations usually bloom from May to August. Flowers are generally solitary at the ends of branches, with certain fragrance, inverted oval petals and colors such as pink, purple and white.

Second, the maintenance method

1, soil: carnation is suitable for growing in loose and breathable soil, and it is better if it has the ability to retain fertilizer and water. Too high soil viscosity is not conducive to its development.

2. Illumination: Carnations should be illuminated for a long time. The longer the light time, the more it can promote its flowering, and it is not afraid of exposure.

3, watering: Carnations should not be watered too much, generally in the growing season and summer can be appropriately watered a little more, flowering can also add some water. Keep the soil moist at ordinary times, but not too wet.

4. Fertilization: When planting carnation, apply base fertilizer in the pot soil, and apply cake fertilizer or compound fertilizer once a week during the growing period to ensure the plants to grow as soon as possible.
