id=\"Legends_associated_with_Carnation\"><\/span><strong>Legends associated with Carnation:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a Greek legend, Goddess Diana fell in love with a shepherd who didn\u2019t reciprocate her feelings. Angry and dejected, Diana removed his eyes and destroyed his body. Carnations sprouted from the remains of the shepherd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to another Roman myth, when Mother Mary saw her son Jesus carrying the cross on his shoulders, her tears transformed into white Carnations. This is why carnations are associated with motherly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cultivation_history_of_Carnation\"><\/span><strong>Cultivation history of Carnation:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Carnations have been cultivated for at least 2000 years in different parts of the world, primarily in the Mediterranean region, including countries like Spain, Italy, Sardinia, Croatia, Albania, Sicily, and Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Grow_Carnations_Flower\"><\/span><strong>How to Grow Carnations Flower?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carnations_Plant_Cultivation\"><\/span><strong>Carnations Plant Cultivation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The ideal temperature for growing carnations is moderately cool, about 20\u00b0- 24\u00b0 in day time, and about 10\u00b0- 16\u00b0 in nights. Carnations need at least 4-5 hours of sunlight and they are great to produce at greenhouses. Well-drained soil helps carnation to thrive. Winter is the best season for planting carnations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can grow Carnations from Seeds and from Cuttings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Growing_carnation_from_seeds\"><\/span><strong>Growing carnation from seeds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To grow carnation from seeds, first, select a container with a drainage hole and fill it up with soil and compost. Place the seeds at the center of the container and cover them completely with soil. Water, and leave them for sprouting which should happen in the next 7-10 days. When shoots start to appear, you can transfer them to a pot or the flower bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Growing_carnation_from_cuttings\"><\/span><strong>Growing carnation from cuttings<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To grow carnations from cuttings, you need to take 4-6 inch pieces of cuttings. Place them in a pot with damp soil mixed with compost. You can also cover the tips of the cuttings with rooting hormones before placing them. This will make the process faster. Water the cuttings regularly in timely intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taking_Care_of_Carnation_Plants\"><\/span><strong>Taking Care of Carnation Plants<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make sure your newly-grown plants are healthy and growing properly, ensure the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Carnations are susceptible to attacks from bugs and other parasites. Use appropriate pesticides to prevent such damages.<\/li><li>Carnations need moderate sunshine.
