How long does it take for gardenia buds to bloom?

1. How long does it take for the flower buds to open?

This problem is not fixed. The specific opening hours have a lot to do with whether the surrounding environment is suitable. If all conditions are suitable for the plant, it can bloom in as little as a week. However, under normal circumstances, it will bloom in about twenty days, and if the temperature is slightly higher, it will bloom a little faster.

If the conditions are not good, it will take about a month to open. If the environment is too harsh, the flower buds will not even open and will slowly fall off. In order to promote the flowering of the plant, and the flowering period of gardenia is very long, some issues must be paid attention to during this period.

2. Things to note during flowering period

(1) Temperature: It is best to keep the temperature warm during the flowering period, but the temperature should not be too high during the winter dormancy period, otherwise it will easily lead to no flowering.

(2) Light: There must be sufficient light during the flowering period. Place it in a place with sufficient light but not too strong, such as a bright place on a balcony.

(3) Water: The amount of water should be sufficient, but not excessive. When you observe that the soil is somewhat white, it means that the soil is dry. At this time, you need to water it, and water it thoroughly at one time. No water accumulation is allowed.

(4) Fertilizer: When watering, you can add some nutrient solution. You can also spray some potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution separately. Both can promote flowering and prevent buds from falling.
