    Carnation sow in February
    Some consider carnation to be a grandmother, unfashionable flower. And I am a grandmother! So, I can without a twinge of conscience love this cute flower and sow it every year - which I do!
    Sow cloves very first, even before the peppers and celery, -10-15 February.
    I take the soil store. I fill it with a box, spill a weak solution of potassium permanganate and spread the seeds.

    I fill crops with hot sand and cover with a packet. I put in a cool place. From time to time I spray warm water.
    When sprouts appear, I put the box on a bright, but equally cool window sill.
    In a flowerbed transplanted in May. Blooms carnation until frost.

    In order for the Turkish carnation to bloom for a long time, it needs to be watered in time, thoroughly weeded and properly fed. I want to share the composition of her "diet."
    Top dressing is carried out in three stages.
    The first - the drug "Agricola Forward" in the spring, during the active growth of shoots (1 tablespoon per 10 liters of warm water). You can also use any nitrogen-containing fertilizer.
    The second is carried out at the moment when the buds are laid. Phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are used (1 tbsp. L. Potassium sulfate and superphosphate - they are diluted in 10 l of water).
    The third - after flowering with fertilizer "Agricola for flowering plants" (1 tbsp. L. Per 10 liters of water).
    When sowing the seeds of the Turkish carnation, a rather powerful rosette can be formed directly into the open ground (a shortened stem with leaves close to each other).

    If after flowering to remove the flower stalks of carnations, then the socket will give new shoots that will bloom luxuriantly next year. You can also cut the cuttings and after the flowering of carnations, plant them for rooting. Before the onset of winter on these cuttings grow new outlet.

    After blossoming shoots with blue and pinnate carnations cut off a third, so that in the next season, wait for abundant flowering on strong plants.

    At the end of June, if desired, you can sow the seeds of forget-me-nots, foxglove, middle bell, chicory vulgaris. At the same time, do not miss the last opportunity to sow the seeds of the Turkish carnation, grown sprouts which in August transplant to a permanent place.

    Carnation for seedlings

    In mid-late March, sow seedlings of annual and perennial cloves on seedlings: spread them into grooves 3 mm deep, made in the substrate with a stick or ruler every 2-2,5 cm. Sprinkle with washed and calcined river sand. Moisturize from a spray bottle. Put a plastic bag on the bowl to preserve moisture and keep at a temperature of + 16 ... + 18 degrees.

    When the shoots appear, remove the package. Seedlings keep as close to the light as possible. A month after sowing, discard. In the open ground, transplant at the end of May, when the threat of recurrent frosts passes.

    My turkish carnations blossom long and very beautiful. How do I achieve this? Now I'll tell you.
    Sowing. The best time for soil preparation and sowing is spring-summer. I dig the soil, water it and cover it with a film. After 2 weeks you can sow. Better - in rows with row spacing of 15 cm. I spray the crops with water, pull the covering material from above. After 1,5 weeks, seedlings will appear, which after a week or two will be transplanted, leaving 5-7 cm between plants.
    Care. In 1-th year must be formed bush. For winter, I cover it with lapnik. Then I weed and periodically loosen the plants. If the heat costs, I increase the watering. And I direct the stream strictly under the root.
    1-th time I fertilize the carnation, when it reaches 10 cm in height. For this, dilute the 1 art. l. nitrofoski and complex mineral fertilizer in 10 l water and water the plants.
    I spend the 2nd feeding when buds appear. Here I already use a mixture of potassium sulfate and superphosphate (also 1 tbsp each). For the third time I feed with any flower fertilizer - during the flowering of cloves.
    Against pests, I use the infusion from the tops of potatoes (1 kg of dry or green leaves to pour 10 L of water and insist for 1,5 days). Spray this infusion twice a day, until I get rid of pests.

      In July-August cuttings take from the tops of young non-flowering veto-check, departing from the middle part of the stem (directly under the knot). Old leaves are removed, and the remaining ones are cut halfway. The stalk should not be very long and it is recommended to have a "heel" for this not to cut it, but tear it off (the torn off gets better). Cuttings are planted in boxes in a light soil containing a sufficient amount of sand. Plants are covered with a film or glass before germination. Then the ground is kept moderately moist, the cuttings are sprayed, they are ventilated from time to time, carefully checked for planting and, if necessary, remove all rotting parts. Under good conditions, rooting takes about two months.
      Until spring, boxes are kept in a room with a temperature of at least + 18 deg. In the open ground plants are transplanted in the next season at the end of May, when the threat of recurrent frosts passes.
