How to make gardenia grow flower buds, how to care for it after it has flower buds

1. How to grow flower buds

1. Adequate sunlight: If gardenia wants to grow buds and promote later flowering, sunlight is very important. During the period when the flowers are forming buds, they can be exposed to sufficient sunlight to promote the formation of buds and the opening of flowers in the later period.

2. Pinching and pruning: In the initial growth stage, you need to pay attention to pinching and pruning to prevent too many side branches, which will consume a lot of nutrients and make it difficult for the flower buds to open. You can pinch them in time. In the later stage of pruning, leave the main branches and cut off the extra side branches and branches that have finished flowering. This will allow nutrients to accumulate and promote later flowering.

3. Water and fertilizer management: In order to make gardenia grow flower buds as soon as possible, water and fertilizer management must be reasonable. When the soil is slightly dry, you can water it thoroughly. In addition to watering the roots, you also need to spray water appropriately to maintain humidity. The supply of fertilizer can maintain flowering. Fertilizer should be applied every ten days or so during the period of vigorous growth, especially some fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium before flowering.

2. How to grow after the flower buds appear

After the gardenia has flower buds, you need to control watering to avoid waterlogging and excessive moisture. There is no need to apply too much fertilizer, avoid applying concentrated fertilizer, and do not expose it to strong light.
