What to do if gardenia grows too tall

1. It has not been trimmed for a long time

(1) Specific reason: Regular pruning is very important for this plant. If it is not trimmed for a long time, it will grow very tall and appear very tall, affecting the overall viewing effect. Then, of course, the measure is appropriate pruning.

(2) Solutions: mainly the following aspects. The first one is in spring. During this period, you can choose any time to cut off the branches that are too long, too long, and too messy that affect the appearance of the plant. This way, you can prevent the plant from being too tall and make it more ornamental.

The second is the period from May to July. When its vigorous growth period is about to stop, it needs to be pruned again to remove the top. This is to promote the germination of surrounding branches, so that the plant does not look too tall and has more flowers in the future.

Third, after the flowers fade, the branches need to be shortened appropriately to promote the sprouting of new branches. In addition, when the new branches grow three nodes, they should be topped off. In addition to these points, you can also cut off overlapping branches when appropriate.

2. Fertilizer problem

(1) Specific reasons: Generally speaking, if too much fertilizer containing N is used, it may cause the plants to grow too tall, increasing the pressure on us to prune. Furthermore, if the amount remains high, it may cause other harms.

(2) Solution: For this aspect, the corresponding measure is to appropriately reduce the use of fertilizers, especially those containing more nitrogen, which should be used less.
