What is the Climatic Requirement for Carnation Flower Growing?

The carnation crop requires cool climatic conditions, low humidity, and long days with high light intensity. The standard carnation variety prefers a cooler climate than the spray cultivars. Carnations are long-day plants with high light requirements to yield high-quality flowers. Usually, they require minimum light of 22000 Lux for the required photosynthesis of carnations. The ideal day temperatures of 18°C to 25°C, night temperature of 10°C to 15°C, and relative humidity of 70 to 75 % are ideal for carnation flower growing.
