1. How many times does the flower bloom?

The number of times gardenia blooms each year varies depending on the variety. For example, the large-leaf gardenia will only bloom once a year.

Small-leaf gardenia may bloom twice a year under good maintenance conditions, while four-season gardenia can generally bloom twice a year.

2. Flowering time

The flowering time of gardenia is related to the cultivation conditions. If the maintenance conditions are good, it may bloom from May to August, but if the maintenance conditions are not very good, it may only bloom in June and July.

In addition, its flowering time is related to the growing area. In the south, in Guangdong and Guangxi, it blooms in early April every year, while in Chengdu, its flowers bloom in mid-June.

①Temperature: When gardenia blooms, it needs to provide a temperature of 16-18℃. Too high or too low will affect its flowering.

② Fertilizer: When it blooms, the demand for fertilizer increases, so you need to apply more fertilizer and increase the proportion of phosphorus and potassium in the fertilizer.

③Water: It needs more water when it blooms. In addition, you need to spray some water mist around it to increase the air humidity.
