How often should I water the gardenia?

1. Soil culture

Gardenia is a moisture-loving plant, but it cannot tolerate waterlogging, so you need to pay special attention when watering it and observe its condition frequently. It needs to be watered as soon as the soil becomes dry. Usually water it two or three times a month, but not too much. Do not let water accumulate in the pot, which will affect the gardenia's breathing and nutrient absorption, and cause root rot.

Specifically, water the plants twice a month in autumn and winter, and once a week in spring and summer. In addition, you should spray water on its branches, leaves and flower buds every morning and evening to create a humid environment for it.

2. Hydroponics

Hydroponic plants do not need to be watered separately because their roots soaked in water are enough to meet their growth needs. However, you also need to spray water on its branches and leaves every day. The finer the water droplets, the better, which is conducive to the absorption of gardenia. Although you don't need to water the roots, you need to change the water frequently. It's best to change it every three days or so. When changing the water, add nutrient solution, and the amount to add should be based on the instructions.

The water that needs to be changed needs to be naturally dried, because the newly connected tap water contains chlorine, which has an impact on the growth of the plant. After drying, the chlorine in the water is released, and it will not cause any harm to the gardenia when used for watering.
