Light
Full sun. They need at least 6 hours of direct light to keep their stems strong. If they dont get enough sun, the stems will flop over.
Watering
Moderate. Water at the base when the top of the soil feels dry. Avoid wetting the leaves, as Carnations are prone to fungal spots in Maltas humid air.
Foliage / Growth
They have bluish-grey, grass-like foliage. Depending on the variety, they can be Border Carnations (shorter) or Standard (tall ones used for bouquets).
Potting Mix
They love alkaline soil. Maltas natural soil is perfect. If using a pot, ensure it drains very well; they hate wet feet.
Fertilizer
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks during the spring. Avoid high-nitrogen feeds, or youll get lots of leaves but no flowers.
Pet Safety
Mildly Toxic. Can cause gastrointestinal upset or skin redness in cats and dogs.
