Why do gardenias drop their buds?

1. Too much light

Reason: If gardenia is exposed to strong light for too long, it can easily cause the plant to be sunburned, which can cause it to drop its flower buds.

Solution: Use a sun visor to block some of the light. But be careful not to block out the light completely, otherwise it will not be able to bloom normally.

2. Too much water

Reason: Many flower lovers water gardenias in large quantities because they like moisture. This will cause water to accumulate in the soil and damage its roots. Once its root system is injured, it will affect the absorption of nutrients, causing the flower buds to fall off.

Treatment method: If there is still water in the soil, do not water it for the time being. Place it in a ventilated place to let the water evaporate. After that, you need to reduce the frequency of watering to prevent this situation from happening again.

3. Forgetting to fertilize

Reason: It needs nutritious fertilizer to bloom. If it is not fertilized for a long time, it will lack nutrients and cannot bloom, causing the flower buds to fall off.

Treatment method: Add fertilizer on time, and be careful to apply thin fertilizers frequently, and do not apply too much at one time.
