When does gardenia grow fast and how can it grow fast

1. When does Gardenia grow fast?

Generally speaking, May to July each year is the peak growth period of gardenia, and the growth rate of gardenia during this period is the fastest. When gardenia is in its growth period, its branches will grow very quickly. It is necessary to pay attention to pruning the branches, especially the branches that are too long at the top and the branches that are too dense or too thin at the bottom.

2. How to grow fast

If you want gardenia to grow fast, you must provide a suitable growing environment based on its growth habits so that it can grow freely.

Light: Gardenia likes light, and sufficient light can enable it to synthesize enough nutrients to promote its growth. But it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, so it is best to keep it in a semi-sunlight environment.

Soil: Gardenia prefers slightly acidic soil with a pH between 5-6. In addition, you can also add some flowers and leaves that are about to rot into the soil to enhance the humus of the soil and improve the nutrients in the soil.

Water: Gardenia prefers moisture, so you should water it thoroughly, but not too much, to avoid water accumulation and root rot. You can use fermented rice water to water the plants, which can provide a certain amount of nitrogen for the plants.

Fertilizer: Gardenia needs an adequate supply of nutrients to bloom, so it is necessary to add fertilizer in time during its growing period and before flowering. However, it is not advisable to apply too much fertilizer. It should be applied within the range that the plant can absorb.

Changing the soil: In order to ensure that the growing environment of gardenia always meets its growth conditions, it is necessary to replace it with new and suitable soil when the nutrients in the potting soil are consumed to ensure that the plant's growth environment is suitable.
