How to grow gardenia in winter

1. Keep warm indoors

Usually around November, the temperature outside starts to become very low, so we have to move it indoors quickly so that it can grow in a warmer environment. Especially in the winter in the north, it is colder outside, so you need to move indoors earlier.

2. Heating and curing

If you want it to spend the winter safely, you must adjust the temperature reasonably. When maintaining it in winter, the temperature should be around 5-10℃, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 5℃. Note that many people place plants next to heaters or air conditioners in order to raise the temperature. Avoid doing this as it is very detrimental to the growth of the plants.

3. Get more sun

The sunlight in winter is relatively mild and will not burn the plants, so they can be placed directly in the sun to allow them to receive light for more time. It is best to place it on a south-facing balcony and let it get sun for at least 3 hours a day.

4. Control water supply

In colder weather, plants need less water and water evaporates more slowly, so be sure to water them sparingly. Usually, don't water when the soil is not dry, and water once a week at a time. If grown indoors, the leaves of the plant will easily become dusty, so it is necessary to spray water frequently.
