How to grow gardenia

1. Breeding methods

1. Flower soil: Gardenias can be grown in soil made by evenly mixing five parts of leaf mold, two parts of sand and three parts of garden soil. Because it likes relatively loose acidic flower soil, using this kind of soil to grow it can achieve better cultivation results.

2. Watering: It likes moisture, so you should water it frequently when raising it to keep the soil slightly moist. But don't water too much, otherwise the plant will become waterlogged.

3. Light: It is suitable for growing in places without direct light but with sufficient scattered light. When raising it, you should place it in such a place.

4. Fertilization: It is relatively fond of fertilizer. When raising it, you should add fertilizer liquid every 10-15 days. However, in winter, the number of additions should be reduced.

2. Breeding Methods

It is recommended to propagate it by cuttings. Choose a flower branch that is growing well, cut it off, remove the leaves above it, then insert it into a soft substrate or clean water and take good care of it. After a period of time, roots will begin to grow.

3. Early spring pruning

In early spring, when it branches out, it needs to be pinched 1-2 times. This will allow 1-3 more side branches to grow around each main branch, making it more lush.
