How to make gardenia bloom and produce more buds

1. Adequate sunlight

When caring for gardenias in potted plants at home, be sure to ensure sufficient light so that nutrients can be accumulated for growth, making it possible for the plants to bloom out of the pot. If you have a courtyard or rooftop at home, you can move the gardenia pot outside to get sufficient exposure to sunlight. If you keep it indoors, you can place it on the balcony or in a bright sunny place indoors to get sufficient light so that it can grow out of the pot.

2. Suitable soil

Soil is the basic condition for promoting growth. Gardenia is difficult to grow in alkaline soil, and it is even more difficult to achieve the phenomenon of blooming out of the pot. During growth and maintenance, it is necessary to provide acidic soil suitable for growth. The soil needs to be loose, fertile, and permeable. You can buy this kind of soil directly, or you can mix it into flower soil at home with garden soil and leaf mold.

3. Proper watering

Gardenia likes water and likes to grow in a humid environment. If you find that the soil in the pot is dry, you need to water it in time, but be careful not to give too much water each time. The water quality you choose should be slightly acidic. The water should be allowed to stand first, and a few drops of acidic substances should be added before it can be used for watering.

4. Apply fertilizer in time

During the growth and flowering period, fertilizer needs to be applied every half a month. Fertilizer should not be lacking, nor should it be applied too much. Pay attention to balanced fertilization and do not apply nitrogen fertilizer too much.
