Thanks queen. Now I know I flopped with my first carnation.

I'm having trouble with propagation rates of my scarlet red carns. I was intending to do an American flag landscape design, but can't do that with just white and blue carns. I'm starting them indoors under an LED growlight in a temp controlled environment (72-80 degrees, also with co2 enrichment). Maybe its just the genetics, as my seeds came from different vendors. I'm hoping to also enter my flowers in the state fair this summer. Guessing it won't be the scarlet red carns!

I just bought carnation seeds today though I am a bit hesitant if it will grow here in the
Philippines with warm weather always

Would they grow in humid, tropical areas, like maritime SE Asia?

I read online that carnations are perennials? Im so confused! Gardening is hard!!! lol

i have red and white. White long stems so here is question: They do act as a perrinial and each year thicker and more blooms. However What did one person mean when they said to cut leaving three leaf nodes for cntinued blooming? This is first year I cut since I finally got a tone of flowers but did i screw up cutting to base? 2. Red ones have little stem... 3 inches. Why?

What kind of soil do you use?

What kind of soil is that you are using to start those seeds? What kind of crap do you grow you plants in
