Can a gardenia survive if it is cut bald?

1. Can you survive?

Gardenia can still survive even if it is cut bald, especially if it is pruned in spring. Even if only the main trunk is left, it can still survive. Cutting off the leaves can reduce water evaporation, and the spring germination is very strong. As long as it is carefully cared for, it will soon resume growth and continue to bloom. However, if it is pruned in an inappropriate season, the germination will be very weak, and it will be difficult to grow new branches without leaves. If there are problems with the roots and you need to replant, cutting off the leaves is a good option. Pay attention to maintenance after pruning to facilitate survival.

2. Maintenance after cutting

After pruning, place it in a bright place on the balcony. It only needs to be exposed to scattered light, not strong light. This will help its growth. All its leaves have been cut off, and the transpiration effect has become smaller, so the demand for water is not that great. There is no need to water it too much. Just wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering it. If the soil in the pot is too wet, it will cause root rot. Don't rush to apply fertilizer. The nutrient demand is relatively small at this time. You can wait until the plant grows stably and then apply fertilizer in appropriate amounts according to its growth.
