How to grow gardenia in water

1. Proper lighting

The hydroponic gardenia has the same requirement for light as the soil-grown gardenia. It is necessary to ensure that it can receive a certain amount of natural light every day. Because it does not like strong light, except for shading it when the sun is strong at noon, it does not need special treatment at other times. Just let it be exposed to light normally.

2. Change water frequently and ensure nutrients

The water of hydroponic plants needs to be changed frequently to ensure that they have vigorous vitality. Nutrient solution should be added to the water when changing the water, because gardenia is a plant that likes fertilizer, and it is difficult to meet the needs of gardenia with nutrients in the water alone. There are also some requirements for changing the water for gardenias. There is chlorine in tap water, and this substance will affect the growth of the plant. Therefore, the water for gardenias cannot be freshly tap water. It is best to use water that has been naturally dried for three or four days. The chlorine in this water is released during the drying process and it will not harm the plant.

3. Spray water appropriately

There is no need to add water to the culture container for hydroponic gardenia. You only need to spray water on its branches and leaves every morning and evening to provide it with a warm growing environment.

4. Reasonable pruning

Hydroponic gardenias also need to be pruned. The purpose of pruning is the same as that of soil-grown gardenias, which is to make the nutrients more concentrated, which is conducive to the production of more and better quality flowers. When pruning, you only need to cut off the dead branches and rotten leaves to make room for healthy branches to bloom in the future.
