How_to_care_for_carnations

Carnations are beautiful and fragrant flowers that thrive with proper care. Plant them in well-drained soil in a location that receives full sunlight. Water them regularly, but ensure the soil doesn't stay too soggy. Carnations prefer slightly alkaline soil, so adding lime can help. To promote healthy growth, deadhead spent blooms and trim back leggy stems. Fertilize with a balanced feed during the growing season. In colder climates, mulch around the base in winter to protect the roots.
