watering
Water pink (Dianthus DIAMOND SCARLET IMPROVED) plants as needed to keep the soil evenly moist but not overly saturated. In general, water the soil deeply at least once a week but watch for the first signs of wilting, which indicate that the plant is ready to be watered again. Be careful not to get the foliage wet when watering, as this can encourage disease. Water early in the day if possible so the foliage is dry before nightfall. As the season progresses, allow the top inch (2.5 cm.) of soil to dry slightly before watering again.
sunlight
The pink Dianthus Diamond Scarlet Improved plant species needs between 3-4 hours of sunlight each day, preferably within the morning and early afternoon hours when sunlight is at its strongest. Ideally, they should be placed in an area that gets full sun or part sun, depending on their specific situation. If placed in full sun, they should be shifted to an area with some shade during the hottest part of the day, to keep them from getting scorched or wilting. The Diamond Scarlet Improved needs to be placed in an area that gets adequate air flow to help it to flourish. During the warmer months, they may need to be watered and fertilized more to provide enough nutrition and hydration for them to continue growing.
pruning
Pink Dianthus DIAMOND SCARLET IMPROVED should be pruned at least once per year. Pruning should be done in late spring or early summer, just after blooming ends. Prune out any old stems and dead or diseased branches. Cut back stem tips and sides of the bush to encourage branching and reduce the height of the bush. Always make a clean cut at an angle as close to the bud as possible so that the plant can grow in its desired shape.
