How to deal with gardenia after it blooms

1. Timely pruning

After the gardenia blooms, there will be many withered flowers left on the branches. At this time, they need to be cut off in time to avoid remaining on the branches and consuming the nutrients accumulated by the plant. In addition to the dead flowers, some weak and diseased branches can also be pruned away. After cutting, it is best to treat the wound with medicine to avoid infection.

2. Increase fertilization

After the plant finishes flowering, it will be in a state of excessive nutrient consumption. At this time, it is necessary to increase fertilization moderately to provide it with nutrients and facilitate the growth of new buds so that it can bloom again. Fertilization needs to be applied thinly and frequently, that is, the fertilizer needs to be diluted before application, and not too much fertilizer should be applied each time.

3. Increase watering

It is a moisture-loving flower and needs the nourishment of water to continue blooming. After flowering, it will be relatively weak, and at this time it is even more necessary to give it the growing conditions it likes to help it recover quickly. Therefore, after its flowers fade, you need to increase watering slightly to keep the soil moist at all times.
