When does gardenia bloom and how to grow it

1. Flowering period

Its flowering period is usually in spring and summer, specifically between March and July, with May and July being the time when the flowers bloom the most and most concentratedly. But this is just an approximate time and it depends on the actual weather and climate. Because its flowering will have slight differences due to changes in climate.

2. Maintenance methods of flowering

1. Light: During the flowering period, it should be placed in a place with scattered light. Too strong light or placing it in a cool place will cause it to not bloom.

2. Soil: It prefers acidic soil for growth, especially during the flowering period. Once the soil becomes alkaline, it will not bloom. Therefore, you should check the pH of the soil regularly. If it is alkaline, you can adjust it with diluted vinegar.

3. Water and fertilizer: Do not over-water during the flowering period, and waterlogging is strictly prohibited, but water shortage is also not allowed. When watering, you should also apply an appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, but the concentration should not be too high.

4. Pruning: Before flowering, cut off the messy or overly dense branches, otherwise they will consume too much nutrients, resulting in insufficient nutrients and difficulty in flowering.
