Planting & Sowing Instructions:
-
Soil Preparation: Choose a well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Carnations prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0 - 7.0).
-
Planting Location: Select a shaded or partially shaded area. Pale Pink Carnations thrive in indirect light or light shade.
-
Sowing Seeds:
-
Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Plant the seeds about ¼ inch deep in seed trays or small pots. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
-
Outdoor Sowing: After the last frost, sow seeds directly into the ground. Space the seeds about 6-8 inches apart for optimal growth.
-
-
Watering: Water gently to keep the soil consistently moist but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Carnations do not like standing water.
-
Temperature & Care: Ideal temperatures for germination range from 65°F to 70°F (18°C to 21°C). Once seedlings are established, they can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures.
-
Thinning: Once the seedlings reach 2-3 inches in height, thin them to allow for proper air circulation and to prevent overcrowding.
-
Maintenance: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage new blooms and improve overall plant health.
