Gardenia cultivation methods and precautions

1. Selection of potting soil for gardenia

If you want to grow gardenias well, the choice of potting soil is very important. It is best to choose a mixture of mountain mud, garden soil, river sand and other materials. Their ratio can be prepared at a ratio of two to two to one. In addition, when the gardenia is potted, its roots should be covered with soil. After potting, pay attention to avoiding light and do not apply fertilizer. After fifteen days of seedling acclimatization period, it can be moved to a sunny place.

2. Gardenia's temperature requirements

If you want to grow gardenias well, temperature is also very important. Gardenias grow fastest when the outside temperature is between 20 and 28 degrees. When the weather is hot in summer every year, you should provide shade in time to prevent high temperatures, and increase air circulation in the indoor environment, otherwise the leaves of gardenias will turn yellow.

When cultivating gardenia, water and fertilizer management is also very important. It does not require much water. As long as it is watered appropriately, water should not be allowed to accumulate in the pot. If the soil is too wet, the roots of the gardenia will rot or the leaves will turn yellow. In addition, gardenia is also a kind of fertilizer-loving plant. When cultivating it, it should be top-dressed every ten days. It is best to choose liquid body fertilizer. In the early stage of its flowering, quick-acting phosphorus fertilizer should be applied to make the flowers of the gardenia more beautiful.
