How much water do gardenias need?

1. How much water should be poured

Gardenia likes water and has a certain demand for water, but it cannot be watered excessively, otherwise water will accumulate in the potting soil and its growth will be affected. When the soil is completely dry, you will find that the surface has shown signs of turning white. This is the time to water the plant. Water it thoroughly until there is a little water at the hole at the bottom of the pot. This will ensure that the soil is thoroughly watered and the gaps in the soil are filled, so the roots can absorb water. If the water is not appropriate, it will cause damage to the plant itself. Too little water will still lead to water shortage, and too much water will cause waterlogging and root rot.

2. Watering frequency

The climate in our country varies greatly, so the frequency of watering should be determined according to actual conditions, and it is not necessary to water every day. The plant grows vigorously in spring and can be watered every 3 days. Water evaporation is more intense in summer, so watering is needed once a day to ensure growth, otherwise it will lead to drought and water shortage. The temperature will drop in autumn and the demand for water will decrease. You can water the plants every three days. In the later period when the temperature is colder, the watering intervals can be longer. The temperature is relatively low in winter, and water evaporates the slowest, with the interval extending to half a month or a month.
