How to raise gardenia to blossom

1. Soil quality selection. In the south, plants bloom easily, and slightly acidic soil is a major factor in flowering. We can mix rotten leaf soil with peat soil, or retting sawdust with half of the garden soil, but don't grow it with old wall soil or cinder. If you want to save trouble, you can buy gentleman orchid land directly.

2. The humidity is suitable. This kind of flower likes wet soil and humid environment. At night, we can use spray cans to spray water on the leaves to replenish water. It is good to use tap water directly in the south, but in the north, because the tap water is alkaline, the tap water in the north can only be used for two days, and add 0.5 grams of citric acid to the water every 3 to 5 days as the source of water for flowers.

3. Topdressing in time. This kind of flower consumes a lot of nutrients, so we must replenish enough fertilizer and water it with a solution containing 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate once or twice during the bud, which can make the flower bigger when it is in full bloom. the flower smell is also more intense.

4. Provide light. Only when exposed to more sunlight will its flowers sprout more. If they grow in the semi-shade for a long time, the branches will grow, but the number of flowers will be relatively small. Except in the summer when the light is more intense and winter dormancy needs shade, all other times can be placed in the sun.

5. Heat preservation measures. Severe winter harms the plant's roots and recovers slowly in spring, but if it is left in the house because the light does not meet the demand, the buds formed in autumn will fall off and blossom later the following year. So we can wrap it in Styrofoam to keep warm and put it in a place facing the sun and leeward for the winter.
