Sowing Tips

Sow seeds in seed trays or pots with well-draining, fertile soil. Cover lightly with soil and keep moist in a cool, bright location. Transplant seedlings once they have 3–4 true leaves. Carnations prefer cool temperatures and good air circulation — avoid overwatering and waterlogged soil. Pinch growing tips early to encourage bushier plants and more blooms.
