What to do if the gardenia buds wilt

1. Too much water

(1) Specific reason: Too much water causes water accumulation and root rot. If the plant is in the flowering stage, the buds are likely to wither and fall off.

(2) Solution: If timely adjustments are made, the plant can recover. The best way is not to water unless the soil is dry, which is most beneficial to the roots.

2. Soil compaction

(1) Specific reason: If the soil is clumping, the roots will not be able to absorb enough water and nutrients, and naturally will not be able to provide sufficient water and nutrients to the flower buds. Then, the flower buds are likely to wither.

(2) Solution: Use a soil loosening tool to insert it into the soil from the edge of the flower pot. Just shake the pots gently to make the soil relatively loose.

3. Lack of light

(1) Specific reason: Providing sufficient light will ensure that there are more flower buds and they will not wither. If the plant stays in a very dark environment for a long time, photosynthesis will be very weak and the flower buds are likely to wither.

(2) Solution: Place it in a sunny place, but not in direct sunlight. At least two hours of exposure every day is required to enhance photosynthesis.

4. Pests and diseases

(1) Specific reasons: If the plant encounters disease or insect pests during its flowering period, there will be fewer flower buds, and those that grow may wither.

(2) Solution: If this is the reason, spray the corresponding medicine according to the different types.

5. Insufficient nutrients

(1) Specific reasons: A lot of nutrients are consumed during the flowering period. If the supply is insufficient, the flower buds are likely to wither.

(2) Solution: You can bury compound fertilizer or some mineral agents in the soil. But don't take too much.
