How to prolong the florescence of Gardenia jasminoides

1. Sunshine

Many friends think that gardenia likes the sun, so as soon as winter is over, they move it to the outside to put it in full contact with the sun. Although this is correct, proper shelter is needed when the temperature rises and the sun gets hotter and warmer. The flowering period of this plant is from May to July, just in time for summer, so it is best to put it in a semi-shaded place to block the sun around noon, otherwise the newly blooming flowers can easily be withered ahead of time by the strong summer light.

2. Moisture

Do not water too much during the flowering period, and do not let stagnant water appear in the basin. You can observe the soil before watering. If the surface layer is too dry, you can water it, and vice versa.

3. Temperature

Temperature is also a factor in prolonging flowering. The most suitable temperature for it is 16 to 18 degrees, so it is necessary to choose a place with a suitable temperature during the flowering period, and if the temperature is too high, it can also be cooled artificially.

4. Humidity

Do not spray water to the plant during the flowering period. once the flower heart produces water droplets, it is very easy to rot and give early thanks. But at this time, you can spray more water around the plant, first, it can reduce the temperature, and second, it can improve the humidity of the environment, which is conducive to the growth of flowers and the extension of flowering time.

5. Nutrients

Nutrients are also more important. During its growing period, it is necessary to apply fertilizer every half a month, and add phosphate and potassium fertilizer once or twice when the bud appears. However, it should be noted that if too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, it will easily lead to bud drop.
