Where the soil naturally retains too much moisture, additional sand or other drainage-improving material may be added.
The growing medium should provide:
Carnations generally perform particularly well in:
Well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline reaction.
Avoid:
Fill a seedling tray, nursery pot or small container with:
Fine, fertile and well-draining seed-starting medium.
Moisten the medium gently before sowing.
Sow Carnation seeds approximately:
0.5–1 cm deep
and cover lightly with fine growing medium.
Do not bury the seeds excessively deep.
Seeds can be started in:
Maintain approximately:
2–3 cm between seeds
during nursery sowing where practical.
After sowing, water using:
A fine mist or gentle shower.
Avoid strong irrigation because it can:
Keep the growing medium:
Consistently slightly moist
during germination.
Under suitable cool to mild conditions, Carnation seeds generally germinate within approximately:
7–14 days
although individual seeds may take longer depending on:
A temperature range around:
15–21°C
is suitable for germination.
During germination:
Carnation seeds should be:
Lightly covered but not buried deeply.
Maintain moisture without keeping the seed-starting medium continuously saturated.
Cold, wet and poorly aerated soil may increase the risk of:
Seed rot and damping-off.
Good drainage is particularly important during the germination stage.
Once seedlings emerge:
Strong light helps produce:
Stockier seedlings with stronger future flowering stems.
According to current GREEN GARDENS growing guidance, seedlings can be transplanted once they reach approximately:
5–6 cm tall
and are strong enough to handle.
Move carefully into:
Handle young roots gently.
Water after transplanting and allow plants to establish before applying strong fertilizer.
Maintain approximately:
20–25 cm / 8–10 inches between plants.
Suitable spacing encourages:
Avoid overcrowding mature plants.
Once young Carnation plants become properly established, lightly pinch the main growing tip.
Pinching can encourage:
Do not pinch very small or recently transplanted seedlings.
Allow the plant to become properly established first.
Carnations perform best in:
Full winter sun.
Provide approximately:
5–7 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Good sunlight encourages:
Carnations can tolerate some light partial shade, but stronger flowering is generally achieved in good sunlight.
Maintain:
Moderate and consistent soil moisture.
Water when the upper layer of soil begins to dry.
Avoid:
Where possible, water around the root zone rather than repeatedly soaking the foliage and flowers.
Carnations prefer:
Moist but well-drained soil.
