If you grow Gardenia and Jasmine like this in autumn and winter, the branches will be strong and survive the winter well!

With sufficient sunlight, gardenia grows strong

1. Lighting

Gardenia likes plenty of natural light, especially in autumn. It needs at least 8 hours of sunlight a day to facilitate the growth and development of the plant and its wintering.

2. Temperature

Gardenia will be damaged by frost if the temperature is below 5℃! In winter, keep the temperature between 6 and 10 degrees Celsius, preferably not lower than 5 degrees Celsius.

3. Watering

The temperature gradually drops in autumn. As for watering, just wait until the soil surface turns white before watering. This will allow the new branches to grow strong and increase the survival rate over the winter.

In winter, dry farming is the main method. The plant is in a dormant state, and excessive watering will easily cause root rot. We find that the leaves of the plant are drooping and wilting, so just water it.

4. Use less fertilizer

In late autumn, the temperature in different regions varies greatly. If the regional temperature is above 15℃, you can apply a comprehensive compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. If it is below 15℃, stop applying fertilizer!

5. Enjoy the flowers in winter

Some flower lovers in the north can also enjoy the blooming of gardenias in winter. This is because the indoor heating temperature is very high, coupled with the large temperature difference between morning and evening.

If you want to bloom in winter, Huahua recommends applying appropriate fertilizers. Of course, this is when the room temperature is very high.

Although jasmine is afraid of cold, she still stays indoors late

1. Lighting

When it comes to jasmine's need for light, Huahua believes that no other flower or plant can compare to it. In autumn, it should be kept under full sunlight.

2. Temperature

Jasmine is a plant that is not tolerant to low temperatures, but in order to allow it to better adapt to temperature changes, it should be brought indoors later. It can be moved into the house after the frost.

3. Watering

Regarding watering, Huahua recommends that you water the plants when the temperature is higher at noon, and the amount of water should be relatively reduced. If you move the plants indoors for maintenance, the amount of watering should be reduced by about 30% compared to outdoor maintenance.

4. No fertilizer

In late autumn, Huahua does not recommend fertilizing or pruning! As the temperature gradually drops, the absorption capacity of the jasmine root system weakens. Improper fertilization can easily cause fertilizer damage.

5. No pruning

In late autumn, it is best not to prune! The key is to let jasmine store nutrients and survive the winter safely.

6. Enjoy the flowers in winter

It is not uncommon to see jasmine blooming in winter, but each flower does not bloom for long and will soon turn purple and wither. Huahua does not recommend this. Let the jasmine rest well in winter and accumulate enough strength so that it can grow better in the second year.
