DETAILS

Care Instructions
Dianthus seguieri thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry. The plant enjoys moderate humidity and should be protected from extreme cold.
Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate slightly acidic to neutral pH levels. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks.
Repotting
Repot Dianthus seguieri every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Repot in the spring before the growing season begins.
Propagation
Propagate Dianthus seguieri through cuttings or division. Take cuttings in late spring or early summer. Ensure the cuttings have at least two nodes and plant them in a well-draining soil mix.
Pruning
Prune the plant after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or diseased stems and spent flowers.
Toxicity
Dianthus seguieri is not toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any accidental ingestion.
Additional
Dianthus seguieri is relatively easy to care for but requires regular maintenance to keep it healthy and blooming. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage more blooms and prolong the flowering period.
