Growing Carnations

11 years ago

What is the best method(s) of growing Carnations. Only thing I've heard is they prefer 65-70 degree temperatures. What about humidity levels? Anyone with knowledge of growing Carnations?

The ultimat source for growing carnations is the "Ball Red Book" but I have not seen a copy for over 20 years.....
Outdoors grow 2-6 ft apart in full sun & rich sandy,well drained soil. Keep well watered. Inndoors, grow in full sun, in cool environment and keep soil evenly moist.
