When growing gardenias, many people will buy potted plants cultivated by others in the flower market. The gardenias are obviously very vigorous when they are bought home, but after growing them for a period of time, they will show various adverse symptoms such as yellowing and falling leaves, or not blooming and dying. This is closely related to people’s watering methods. Only by watering it at the right time and with the right method can the gardenia grow normally. The correct way to water gardenias1. Watering time Gardenia is an ornamental plant that likes a humid environment. It needs to continuously absorb water during its growth period, but when watering the gardenia, you must water it at the right time. If it is cold in winter, you must choose to water it during the warm noon. In spring, autumn and summer, you can water it at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. 2. Water quality selection When watering gardenias, the choice of water quality is also very important, because gardenias are a type of plant that likes slightly acidic soil, and people's drinking water is usually alkaline. If you water gardenias with such water for a long time, it will change the properties of the soil and affect the normal growth of gardenias. Therefore, acidic rainwater is best when watering it. If you use tap water at home to water gardenias, you need to add an appropriate amount of white vinegar. 3. Watering method The watering methods for gardenias are different at different times. In spring and summer, you can water it normally in the morning, but when the temperature is high, you should water it after the sun sets and the temperature drops slightly, and spray its leaves moderately. Between April and September each year, keep the potting soil slightly moist. Try not to water it every day, otherwise it will cause its leaves to turn yellow or fall off. 4. Notes When watering gardenias, be sure to observe the soil in the pot first to see if it is loose. If the soil is compacted and difficult to water, use a bottle to slowly pour water into the pot and let it slowly penetrate into the soil. If you water quickly, the soil will be difficult to wet, and the water will flow out of the holes at the bottom of the pot, which will affect the absorption of water by the roots of the gardenia. The above introduces the correct method of watering gardenias, which can let everyone know when and how to water gardenias during the cultivation process. In the future, when you cultivate this ornamental plant, you must water it according to the correct method introduced above. Only in this way can the gardenia maintain vigorous vitality and bloom soon. |
