Carnation plant help?
I take floral design in class. And i fell in love with a carnation plant. Well, i looked it up and it said in order to get the seeds from it, you need to dry them out. then you rub the head of the carnation between your fingers and the seeds will fall out. Well, they’ve been drying since thanksgiving! Still nothing but petals and green-now brown- stem. What do i do? How much longer will it take? Can i plant the whole head of the carnation in the soil? I’m making a terrarium so i don’t have to worry about the cold 
The bloom may have been immature–was it dry and turning brown? Sometimes it takes 2-3 weeks until they’re dry enough to release the seeds. You can plant the whole blossom, but if the seeds weren’t mature, you won’t get seedlings. If they were, you’ll get many tiny seedlings coming up together, and they’ll need to be separated in order to thrive. Hope this helps…
