Planting method

The plant Dianthus should be propagated between December and February of the following year. It takes thirty days to take root. Usually, it is mainly propagated by cuttings. Watering should be done in time after propagation, but water should not be allowed to accumulate under the seedbed. From the second week, the water should be controlled, and by the third week, spraying should be the main method. This is most conducive to the growth of its root system. After it takes root, it can be directly transplanted into a flowerpot for cultivation.

Breeding precautions

1. Pay attention to water and fertilizer management

When cultivating Dianthus, you must pay attention to water and fertilizer management. It is particularly drought-resistant, but its root system is well-developed and the soil is compacted. When watering it, you must pay attention to loosening the soil, and reduce the water supply before and after the flowering period, and instead spray water on the leaves. Dianthus is a fertilizer-loving plant. Before planting, you must apply sufficient base fertilizer, and during the growth period, you must also frequently apply topdressing. Fertilizers should be mainly thin liquid fertilizers.

2. Pay attention to light adjustment

When growing Dianthus, you must pay attention to the regulation of light. It is a light-loving plant. Try to ensure that it receives six to eight hours of light a day during normal cultivation. However, after entering summer, it will enter a semi-dormant state. At this time, avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the leaves will be burned, and also reduce water supply otherwise its roots will rot.
