How can gardenias safely survive the winter? Do gardenias bloom in winter?

1. How to spend the winter safely

1. Ensure the temperature: Gardenia has a certain degree of cold resistance. The temperature in the southern region is relatively high in winter. Gardenias planted outdoors generally will not be frozen and can withstand a little frost. The situation in the northern region is different. The outdoor temperature is relatively cold, and in most areas it can be below 0 degrees Celsius, so it needs to be moved indoors and the temperature controlled above 5 degrees Celsius. It can still grow normally. Generally, there is heating in the north, so this aspect can be met.

2. Increase sunlight: Gardenia needs sunlight to grow, especially in winter when the light intensity outside is not strong. It can be placed in a sunny place and maintained in sunlight for more than 6 hours a day. Sunlight can not only promote growth, but also increase the temperature.

3. Reduce watering: Gardenia likes moisture, but its growth is slow in winter. Too much water will make it difficult to absorb. Wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering, and increase the frequency of watering. However, the environment is dry in winter, so you can spray water on the leaves appropriately.

4. Reduce fertilization: Winter is not a period of vigorous growth, so basically no fertilization is needed, but you can apply a moderate amount of fertilizer.

2. Does it bloom in winter?

If the temperature at home is high, gardenia may bloom in winter. It is best to control the temperature and not let it bloom in winter.
