How do I grow carnations from cut flowers

Carnations are a popular flower that can be grown from cuttings. Here are the steps on how to grow carnations from cut flowers:

Choose a healthy cutting. The best cuttings are taken from healthy, disease-free plants. Choose a cutting that is about 6-8 inches long and has several leaves.
Remove the bottom leaves. The bottom leaves of the cutting will be removed when you plant it in the soil. Remove them now to prevent them from rotting.
Dip the cutting in rooting hormone. Rooting hormone is a powder or gel that helps to promote root growth. Dip the bottom of the cutting in rooting hormone before planting it.
Plant the cutting in a pot. Fill a pot with potting mix and make a hole in the center. Place the cutting in the hole and firm the soil around it.
Water the cutting. Water the cutting well and place it in a warm, sunny location.
Keep the cutting moist. The cutting needs to be kept moist at all times. Water it regularly, but do not overwater it.
Wait for the cutting to root. It can take several weeks for the cutting to root. Be patient and keep the cutting well-watered.
Once the cutting has rooted, you can transplant it into the garden. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.
