Crops of carnation often bring in emergence of hybrid versions therefore its seeds sell as sortotipa as it is in advance known that the received plants will be unequal coloring. Some grades of this plant part only with seedling method, other versions well transfer disembarkation to the open ground.
Instruction
1. The carnation is sown during the period since the end of February prior to the beginning of March to receive seedling. Recommend to use for this purpose the soft soil consisting of the cespitose earth with small amount of sand and sheet greens.
2. Before landing soil is well moistened then seeds of carnation spread on surface. From above the earth is covered with vermiculite, at the same time it is not necessary to create greenhouse effect, covering boxes with polyethylene or glass. In 3-4 days it is possible to see the first sprouts.
3. At the earliest stages of development seedling of carnation is very sensitive to cold therefore it is necessary to maintain temperature not below 18 °C. The plant needs also to be protected from drafts. It is positively influenced by highlighting by daylight lamps or phytolamps.
4. At insufficient lighting watering has to be moderate, otherwise the plant will begin to suffer from black leg. Sick seedlings need to be removed. For the fourth week after emergence of shoots it is possible to lower temperature approximately to 15 °C, it to prevent pulling of plant.
5. After emergence on seedling of two leaves hold sword-play, the interval between sprouts has to make 3-4 cm, and distance between ranks — about 4 cm. In April it is necessary to hold sword-play in separate capacity, at the same time it is necessary to watch that the root gang was not buried.
6. In May seedling of carnation is taken out on fresh air, it is the best of all to use for this place, protected from drafts. It will temper plant and will prepare it for landing to the constant place. It is important not to allow witherings of sprouts therefore it is necessary to watch soil dampness carefully. The earth has to dry up a little between waterings. To tack land on the constant place growth during the period since the end of May until the beginning of June. The interval between plants has to make about 30 cm.
7. The carnation can be sowed to the open ground at once. As a rule, it is done at the end of May or at the beginning June. Seeds sow in razvodochny breast, recommend to choose length of ranks about 15 cm, and distance between them — 1.5 cm.
8. At this stage it is very important not to allow dryings of the soil. Shoots will appear the most bigger in 2 weeks, and at the end of August seedlings it is necessary to dive on the constant place of growth. At the correct leaving of tack will blossom next year. That bushes have turned out magnificent, seedlings need to be prishchepit when they have 5-8 leaves.
