Maintenance

Caring for your 10.5cm Dianthus plants is relatively simple, allowing you to enjoy their beauty with minimal effort. Here are some key maintenance considerations:

• Sunlight: Plant Dianthus in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. They thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water your Dianthus plants at the base to prevent fungal issues, and avoid overhead watering.

• Soil: Ensure well-draining soil enriched with organic matter to promote healthy growth. Dianthus prefers slightly alkaline soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5.

• Deadheading: To encourage continuous blooming, remove spent flowers by pinching or cutting them back to the nearest set of leaves. This will also help maintain a tidy appearance.

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again after the first flush of blooms to provide essential nutrients.
