Turkish cloves are drought tolerant and do not like excess water, so you need to avoid making the soil waterlogged or overwatering, which can easily lead to root rot.
When the soil feels dry to the touch, water until thoroughly moistened.
Where is the best place to plant Turkish cloves
Choose a sunny area with fertile soil for the plant.
When sowing seeds, make grooves in the soil 1-1.5 cm deep at a distance of 15 cm from each other, spill them well with water, and then place the seeds in them in increments of 2-3 cm.
How long does it take for Turkish cloves to sprout
Spill low containers with soil with water at 60-70 degrees, lay out the seeds and sprinkle a half-centimeter layer of soil, cover the containers with cling film and place them on the batteries.
Cloves, like tomatoes, sprout in four days.
How to care for Turkish cloves
Garden Turkish carnation needs regular watering: 2 times a week at a rate of 12-15 liters per m² of land.
Growing Turkish cloves involves adding fertilizer to the soil.
The first feeding is carried out when the seedlings reach a height of 10-12 cm.
Further care consists of loosening and weeding the soil around the cloves.
Do I need to prune Turkish cloves for the winter
Do I need to prune my Turkish Dianthus? Regular pruning will not only not harm the plant, but will also help the Turkish Carnation to bloom more.
