Planting and Sowing Instructions:

1. Best Time to Plant: Carnation seeds are best started indoors in early spring, 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Alternatively, they can be directly sowed outdoors after the risk of frost has passed.

2. Soil Preparation: Choose well-drained, fertile soil for optimal growth. Carnations prefer slightly alkaline to neutral soil (pH 6.5 to 7.0).

3. Sowing:

   • Indoors: Start seeds in small trays or pots with seed-starting mix. Lightly press the seeds into the soil but do not cover them, as they need light to germinate.

   • Outdoors: If sowing directly in the ground, plant seeds ¼ inch deep. Space seeds 6 inches apart.

4. Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Once the seeds have germinated and seedlings appear, reduce watering to prevent root rot.

5. Light Requirements: Carnations require full sunlight (at least 6 hours a day) for optimal growth and flowering.

6. Temperature: Ideal germination temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°C to 24°C). After seedlings are established, they thrive in slightly cooler temperatures (55°F to 70°F).

7. Thinning: Once the seedlings have grown to a few inches tall, thin them out to ensure proper air circulation and space for healthy growth.

Care and Maintenance:

• Fertilization: Carnations are moderate feeders. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.

• Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Trim back stems after the blooming season to maintain plant health.

• Support: For taller plants, provide light staking or support to prevent stems from bending under the weight of the flowers.
