How to grow gardenia well

1. Moist soil

Gardenia is not suitable for growing in an environment that is too dry or too humid. Moist soil is most conducive to its growth, so water it appropriately. Watering should be done after the soil becomes dry, and the amount of water should not be too much, just water it thoroughly. When the temperature is high in summer, you need to water more, and control the water during the flowering period and winter.

2. Adequate lighting

In order to make it grow well, it is necessary to ensure sufficient light. When cultivating it, it must receive at least 60% light every day. In order to avoid sunburn in the hot summer afternoon, appropriate shade measures need to be taken. In spring, autumn and winter, you can be exposed to sunlight all day without getting sunburned.

3. Open windows for ventilation

Gardenia is relatively afraid of diseases and insects, so you must pay attention to ventilation when caring for it. When growing it indoors, you should open the windows more often. Air circulation can reduce the chance of being attacked by diseases and insects. Once it is attacked by diseases and insects, its growth will deteriorate, so prevention and control work must be done well.

4. Supplement nutrients

Its growth state is also related to nutrients, so fertilizer should be applied regularly. During the growth period, fertilizer can be applied every half a month. However, do not use raw fertilizer or concentrated fertilizer, and do not apply fertilizer to the roots of the plant. Not only will it not be absorbed but it will also burn the roots.
