CARNATION CARE

• Carnations are known for their vibrant and fragrant flowers, which can have a wide variety of colors, including white, red, pink, yellow, orange, and purple.
• The flowers have a characteristic shape with toothed petals and a bulging center.
• The leaves are narrow and lanceolate, and the foliage can be dark to medium green, depending on the variety.

Basic care:

• Light: Carnations prefer full sun, although they can also tolerate some partial shade.
• Soil: They need well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly alkaline pH.
• Watering: You should keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging, as this can cause root rot.
• Temperature: Carnations are hardy in temperate climates and prefer cool temperatures. Protect the plants from excessive heat in summer.
• Pruning: It is recommended to remove withered flowers to encourage continuous flowering and keep the plant tidy.
