Dianthus chinensis

probuket

Chinese carnation in a pot is a compact plant that will be appreciated by a lover of neat flowering crops. The young carnation d9 h12 forms a dense bush with narrow green leaves and small flowers. Depending on the variety, the color can be red or pink, while the Turkish and bush forms produce especially lush blooms. The perennial Chinese carnation grows well indoors and over time turns into a branched shrub.

The plant can be placed on a windowsill of an east or west window, where there is plenty of soft light. Direct midday sun during hot hours is best shaded so the leaves do not burn. Indoor carnation loves coolness and fresh air, so the room should be regularly ventilated, avoiding drafts.

Watering should be moderate: the soil should dry out between waterings. Use settled water at room temperature, pour it at the root, avoiding getting it on the leaves and flowers. It is suitable as a gift for a birthday or simply as a houseplant for those who appreciate understated beauty.
