When does gardenia bloom? How to care for it to bloom more

1. Flowering time

The flowering time of gardenia is mainly concentrated in spring and summer, generally from March to around August each year. The climate environment varies every year, so the flowering time is also different. The flowering time is affected by the region. In the south, because the temperature rises faster and the climate is milder, the flowering time is slightly earlier, and the flowers can basically bloom in March-May. The temperature in the north is relatively low, and it may not bloom until around May. The flowering time is also affected by the variety. Some varieties bloom early, while others bloom later.

2. How to maintain more flowers

1. Adequate light: Gardenia blooms in spring and summer, and light is an important factor in promoting flowering, so supplementing light is very important. It needs to be placed in a place with good light. However, in summer, the intensity of sunlight is higher, so it needs appropriate shading and sufficient diffuse light.

2. Reasonable watering: Gardenia likes a moist growing environment and cannot do without water in its subsequent growth, so it needs reasonable watering during the growth period and cannot lack water.

3. Fertilization before flowering: Flowering requires a lot of nutrients to maintain. If there is a lack of nutrients, it will be difficult to supply nutrients for flowering. Before flowering, be sure to provide sufficient nutrients, preferably phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
