Gardenia is one of the most popular potted flowers, but many people's gardenias often die in winter, which makes people very upset. What should we do?

How to grow gardenia in winter

1. Temperature control of gardenia in winter

When growing gardenias indoors in winter, you should pay attention to temperature regulation. This plant is relatively cold-resistant and will only die and lose its leaves when the temperature drops below minus twelve degrees. It will be in a semi-dormant state in winter. Just keep the indoor temperature between three and five degrees. Too high a temperature is not conducive to the safe wintering of gardenias.

2. Water content should be controlled in winter cultivation of gardenia

When you grow gardenias in winter, you should control the water supply and not water them too often. Watering once a week is enough. When watering, you should water them thoroughly and sufficiently. Chinese and foreign gardenias should be placed in a sunny place during the winter. If there is no sunlight for a long time, the leaves of gardenias will turn yellow.

3. Gardenias should be protected from freezing in winter

It is also important to prevent frost when growing gardenias in winter. It is best to wrap the gardenia pots with foam or plastic. This can better protect the roots of the gardenias and allow them to recover quickly in the spring of the following year. If the gardenias are not insulated, their roots will be damaged in low temperatures, and they will not be able to grow normally after the beginning of the next spring, and their flowering time will be much later.
