When is the best time to transplant gardenia?

Before transplanting gardenias, the soil in the transplanting pot needs to be kept dry so that the soil and the pot can be separated smoothly. If there is too much soil in the pot, you can dig out some of it first, and then take a small amount of the old soil and put it in the new pot. This can increase the survival rate of gardenias.

Gardenia transplanting time

The survival rate of gardenia is relatively high when transplanted in spring and autumn, that is, February to March and October to November. The temperature and humidity in these two time periods are more suitable for the growth of gardenia, which can ensure the healthy growth of gardenia.

How to transplant gardenia

Prepare some fertilized soil in the pot in advance, then put the gardenia in it, and then fill the soil little by little from both sides to the middle, ensuring that the gardenia is in close contact with the soil. Be careful not to fill it up when filling the soil, so that it will be convenient for watering later. If the humidity in the air is low, you can spray some water in a plastic bag, half cover it on the transplanted gardenia, and take it down every few hours to let it breathe.

Management of Gardenia after Transplantation

After transplanting gardenia, it should be carefully cultivated and the leaves should be sprayed with water every day to effectively increase the air humidity. Secondly, it is necessary to provide appropriate shade. Direct sunlight will cause the leaves to droop. Also, do not wait until the soil is too dry before watering. When the surface soil is dry, you can water it. Also, cut off the dry branches and leaves in time to avoid nutrient waste.
