Gardenia IntroductionGardenia, also known as gardenia and yellow gardenia, is a plant of the dicotyledonous plant class, Rubiaceae, and Gardenia genus. It has lush branches and leaves, is evergreen all the year round, and has fragrant flowers. It is a highly ornamental plant that can be propagated by cuttings. Common varieties include large-leaf gardenia, water gardenia, and yellow gardenia. Gardenia cultivation methodGardenia prefers an environment with plenty of sunlight, but it is also shade-tolerant, but the number of flowers will decrease. It likes a warm and humid environment and is suitable for planting in fertile, well-drained, acidic light clay loam. It must be guaranteed to have more than six hours of scattered light every day. The most suitable temperature is 15 to 25 degrees. Water it every 2-3 days during the growth period. Watering methodGardenia likes a humid environment, but is not tolerant to waterlogging. The amount of watering should not be too much. Generally, it is watered every 2-3 days. There should not be water accumulation in the pot each time watering. If the air is dry, spray water every morning and evening. The finer the water droplets, the better, so that they are easier to absorb. Fertilization methodBefore planting gardenias, you can apply base fertilizer to the soil. From April to October, apply top dressing every 30 days outside the flowering period. Pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently, and do not use concentrated fertilizers or raw fertilizers. Pruning methodsBefore the new shoots of gardenia become lignified, you can cut off 2 to 3 cm from the top of the branch to promote the sprouting of side branches. The branches of the plant can be pruned after they become lignified. Adult plants can trim dense, overgrown, and old branches and leaves to reduce nutrient consumption. Precautions for gardenia cultivationThe suitable growth temperature for gardenia is between 18-28 degrees. The temperature in winter needs to be above minus 10 degrees. It is suitable for maintenance in bright scattered light. It likes loose, fertile, well-drained acidic soil. Do not water too much at normal times and no water accumulation should occur. |
