How to care for gardenia in winter

1. Appropriate light

It is light-loving. Although it stops growing in winter, it can be exposed to light moderately, which can be beneficial to flowering next year. But the light should not be too strong, just make sure it lasts for 3-4 hours. If it is not exposed to sunlight for a long time, its leaves will turn yellow.

2. Control the temperature

In winter, you need to pay attention to temperature control. It is particularly cold-resistant and as long as the temperature is maintained at 3-5 degrees Celsius, it will be fine. If the temperature is too high, it will be detrimental to its growth. However, some families in the north have heating, so they can be kept on the balcony, but the temperature must not be too high. If the growing temperature is too low, you should also pay attention to anti-freeze issues. You need to wrap the flower pot with plastic or foam to keep it warm.

3. Proper watering

In winter, due to the temperature, the water demand will be reduced a lot. Therefore, the water supply needs to be controlled well. Wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering. Do not wait until the soil is dry before watering, otherwise it will easily lead to death. Do not water too often. Generally, once a month is enough.
