How To Spray Carnations By Hand?

To grow spray carnations in a home garden, it is essential to understand their differences from regular carnations. Spray carnations, also known as spray pinks, are easy to care for and produce a lot of flowers with little effort. To ensure the best results, keep a spray bottle handy and mist the flowers lightly every day to keep them vibrant. Carnations prefer temperate/Mediterranean climates with hot, dry summers.

To encourage the flowers to open, hold the flower head in one hand and gently ruffle the petals with the other. Cut one stem of the flowers to length, 6-8cm taller than the height of the jar. Pinch and roll the calyx between your fingers a few times very firmly to get the carnation to fluff open. Place all nettings on top of each other on the soil or benches before working.

A proper post-harvest treatment is necessary for a prolonged vase life and full blooming of spray carnations. Chrysal AVB is used upon the harvest. To keep spray carnations in top condition in store, use a solution of Professional 2, which keeps the flowers fresh and helps retain their color.

In summary, spray carnations are easy to care for and produce a lot of flowers with little effort. To maintain their freshness and color, use a spray mist, avoid heat, and use a solution of Professional 2.
