Can gardenia be transplanted in autumn?

Gardenia can be transplanted in spring and autumn, usually around February and October. It is best not to transplant it in summer or rainy season, because high temperature or excessive moisture will affect its survival rate, causing it to die after transplanting.

How to transplant gardenia in autumn

1. Take the gardenia out of the potting soil and keep the soil slightly dry, which will facilitate transplanting. Prune it appropriately and cut off rotten roots and dead leaves. 2. Transplant the gardenia into the soil, cover and fill it, then water the soil to keep it moist. You can spray water around it to increase air humidity and ventilation so that it can grow in the new environment.

Precautions for transplanting gardenia

1. Choose a good potting soil according to the size of the gardenia. It is best to have drainage holes at the bottom. Prepare fertile and well-drained acidic soil. You can also mix leaf mold, garden soil or sand. Put some broken bricks at the bottom of the flowerpot and then pour in an appropriate amount of soil. 2. Before transplanting the gardenia, you need to control the water and make sure the potting soil is dry. This will make it easier to separate the soil and the pot. If there is too much potting soil, you can remove some of it before transplanting.
