How to make gardenia grow buds

1. Suitable substrate

Choosing the right substrate at the beginning will help with the formation of flower buds later. In addition to the basic requirements such as breathability, looseness, and nutrition, it is also required to be slightly acidic. It can be prepared with leaf mold, peat soil, and sawdust. It is also necessary to replace the soil regularly and prune the roots at the same time.

2. Reasonable watering

In order to form flower buds, the support of water is also indispensable. Especially from April to September, the potting soil should be kept moist. Once you find that the surface soil is dry, add water in time. You should also pay attention to the water used, especially in the north, because water is generally alkaline, so you can add some other substances to it for adjustment, such as citric acid, etc.

3. Apply fertilizer appropriately

It likes fertilizer and needs more nutrients to form flower buds. Generally speaking, fertilizer and water should be used once a week. During the flowering stage, potassium dihydrogen phosphate needs to be applied one or two more times. However, no fertilizer can be applied if the temperature is above 35 degrees.

4. Sufficient light

To form flower buds, you need more sunlight. If it stays in a dark place for a long time, very few flower buds will be formed. If you are indoors, you can take it outside to dry in the sun.

5. Timely pruning

In particular, the topping step can promote branch germination and the formation of flower buds. The next step is to prune sick, weak and dead branches.
