    Growing Carnations from seeds is totally doable in India, thanks to the generally warm and sunny climate. This mixed variety features a stunning array of colors including vibrant reds, pinks, whites, and purples, each flower boasting a full, plush appearance that adds a touch of sophistication to any garden display. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get those blooms going:

    Best Time to Grow Carnation

    In most parts of India, the best time to sow carnation seeds is:
    • Northern India: September to November (cooler months are better)

    • Southern India: Can be sown from October to January
      They don’t like extreme heat, so avoid peak summer sowing.

    Soil and Location

    • Sunlight: Needs at least 4–6 hours of sun daily.
    • Soil Type: Well-draining, loose soil mixed with compost and cocopeat.
    • Pots or Ground: At least 8–10 inches deep and wide
    • Great for garden beds, pots, borders, or rockeries

    Sowing the Seeds

    • Fill the soil in the seed tray or in a pot. Sprinkle the seeds on the surface and lightly press them into the soil.

    • Don’t bury them deep—just a thin layer of soil on top is enough.

    • Mist the soil gently with water.

    Germination & Seedling Care

    • Light: Keep the pot in a bright spot with indirect sunlight or filtered light until germination.
    • Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
    • Germination time: Seeds will sprout in 7–14 days.
    • Once seedlings have 4–5 true leaves, thin them to avoid overcrowding.

    • If you sowed in a nursery tray, you can transplant them into individual pots now.
    Care & Maintenance

    • Sunlight: Once established, move them to a spot that gets 4–6 hours of direct sun daily.
    • Watering: Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry.
    • Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) every 2–3 weeks.
    • Pinching: Pinch the top of young plants to encourage bushier growth.

    Pest & Disease Prevention

    • Pests: Watch out for aphids, spider mites—use neem oil spray if needed.
    • Fungal issues: Don’t overwater; good air circulation is key.

    Blooming & Maintenance

    • Blooms in about 4–5 months after sowing, depending on the variety and conditions.

    • Deadhead (remove faded flowers) to encourage continuous blooming.
