Usually in September, we sow brocade and carnation. The soil with fertile soil, good drainage and calcareous or sandy soil is very suitable for planting carnation. After sowing, it is necessary to maintain a certain degree of moisture in the soil. 5 days after sowing, shoots can be produced, about 10 days can be produced. The highest temperature should be 20 ℃ and the lowest temperature should be 10 ℃. It can be transplanted when there are 4 to 5 leaves in the newly emerged seedlings of Dianthus Jintuan. Under careful care, it will bloom in the next spring. It can also be sown outdoors in September or in pots between November and December, and transplanted to outdoor open space in April of the next year.
Most of the cutting propagation of carnation in Jintuan is from October to march of the next year. In its mature stage, the length of 5-6cm of twigs should be cut as cuttings, and the twigs should be healthy and disease-free. Insert half of the twigs into the sand, water immediately, and pay attention to the heat preservation. During the period, it is necessary to keep the brocade and carnation receiving sufficient sunlight but not exposing it to the sun. In order to prevent diseases and insect pests, it is also necessary to spray the fungicide, chlorothalonil. Cutting twigs can take root in 15 to 20 days, and then transplanting garden or flower pot.
In autumn or early spring, we use the old plants of carnation in Jintuan to propagate separately. In early spring, for example, before the plant sprouts, the whole carnation is dug up, divided into several plants and planted separately. Dig the planting holes, one for each hole, then cover and compact with fine soil, and don't forget to water. In summer, there is too much rain and carnation is in the growth period. Strengthen the management of fertilization and drainage, otherwise it will cause root rot. After the beginning of autumn, we need timely watering, so that we can sprout leaves and bloom when the National Day comes
