Gardenia is loved by people for its fragrant aroma and pure white flowers. It usually blooms in May and June every year. However, in the process of caring for gardenias, sometimes they will not bloom. Learn below the reasons and solutions for gardenia not blooming. 1. Insufficient light If gardenia lacks sufficient light, its branches will grow too long, the distance between nodes will become longer, and flowering will be affected. Solution: Make sure your gardenia receives enough diffuse light to promote photosynthesis, keep the plant compact and bloom profusely. 2. Improper humidity Gardenia prefers a humid environment, but if the roots are in an overly wet state for a long time, it will affect the differentiation and growth of flower buds, resulting in no flowering. Solution: Keep the soil slightly moist, avoid water accumulation, and maintain the air humidity above 70% through spraying and other methods to meet the humidity requirements of gardenia. 3. Improper fertilization Improper fertilization may also cause gardenias to not bloom. Different growth stages require different nutrients. Solution: During the growing season, apply thin fertilizer every half a month to meet the growth needs of gardenia. Avoid applying nitrogen fertilizer alone for a long time to prevent the plant from only growing leaves but not blooming. Before flowering, fertilizers mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium should be used to promote flower bud differentiation and bud development, and improve the quality and quantity of flowering. In addition, gardenias need proper pruning after flowering. Failure to do so for a long time will cause the branches to grow too long, consume nutrients, and affect the formation of flower buds.
