Can gardenia be grown in the north? What maintenance factors should be paid attention to?

1. Can it be raised in the north?

Gardenia is a southern flower that grows better in the southern region and is easy to care for. Although gardenias can now be grown in the north, they are more difficult to care for and do not grow as well as those in the south. Gardenia is a plant that likes a humid environment and is suitable for growing in alkaline soil. It also likes warmth and will freeze to death if it is too cold in winter. The climate in the north is relatively dry, the water and soil are alkaline, and the winter climate is relatively cold. These are contrary to the growth habits of gardenia, which can easily cause acclimatization. As a result, the gardenia will not bloom many flowers, and will have yellow leaves, falling flowers, or even die.

2. What maintenance factors should be paid attention to?

1. Pay attention to water supply: When caring for gardenia in the north, you must pay attention to water supply. Water it in time when you find the soil is dry. Do not let the potting soil become too dry. The air humidity must also be ensured. When the air is dry, you can spray water on the leaves and surrounding areas to increase the humidity through evaporation. Note that you can add vinegar, lemonade, ferrous sulfate, etc. to the water to adjust the pH value of the soil.

2. Acidic soil: Provide acidic soil when planting in pots, and mix it with leaf mold, rotted pine bark, etc.

3. Maintain temperature: Maintain a good temperature in winter and move it indoors for maintenance in time.
