How to take care of gardenia after buying it

1. Replace the loam

The quality of the loam you buy is not guaranteed, so it is best to replace the soil in the pot and replant the plant. You can mix peat soil with sandy loam, add river sand and mix it evenly in the appropriate proportion. Place it in the sun for disinfection before use. This will kill the bacteria and insect eggs inside and avoid trouble later. Clean the roots of the plant, straighten it and replant it.

2. Astigmatism

When you just buy it, put it in a place where the light is not strong, and only expose it to diffuse light. A soft environment is suitable for growth, and wait for it to gradually adapt. After the growth stabilizes, give it normal sunlight, sufficient exposure in winter, and pay attention to shade and heat avoidance in summer.

3. Water supplement

Water thoroughly right after planting to promote rooting. After the growth gradually becomes normal, observe the dryness and wetness conditions inside and water regularly to ensure supply, but not too much at one time to prevent root rot. In addition to watering the roots, you should also use a watering can to spray water on the leaves of the plant.

4. Fertilize regularly

It needs a lot of nutrients to bloom, so applying fertilizer is necessary, especially during the peak growth period in May and before the flowering period, to ensure sufficient nutrients.
