What type of soil can help grow carnations?

Carnations thrive in well-drained, loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH, ideally between 6.0 and 7.0, supports their growth. It's important to ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as carnations are susceptible to overwatering. Adding compost or well-rotted manure can enhance soil fertility and structure for optimal growth.
