How to grow gardenias well

1. Flower soil

If you want it to grow well, the first step is to choose a kind of flower soil suitable for its growth before raising it. Generally speaking, it is suitable for flower soil with PH between 4. 0 and 6. 5, but it is best between 5. 0 and 6. 0. in addition, flower soil should be soft and thick, have certain water retention capacity and certain aeration capacity. So to sum up, we recommend that you mix garden soil with rotten leaf soil or peat soil at 1:1 as its flower soil. The former pays more attention to nutrients, while the latter pays more attention to water conservation capacity. The specific choice depends on the opinions of flower friends.

2. Environment

In addition to the flower soil, we also need to give it suitable growth conditions, so that it can grow better enough. When it comes to growth conditions, the first thing to say is water, this kind of flower is a kind of flower that likes to be wet, so we always make sure that the soil is moist and can not let the soil dry. In addition, we can also spray some water or beer around it with a sprayer to humidify it.

Let's talk about light, because it is more suitable for growing in places where there is plenty of light, so we must give it enough light at ordinary times, preferably half-sunshine.

Finally, speaking of flower fertilizer, relatively speaking, its demand for flower fertilizer is relatively large, whether it is growth and development or flowering can not be separated from the support of nutrients, but everything goes too far. Once the flower fertilizer is added too much, the plant has no time to absorb it. The remaining flower fertilizer will remain in the flower soil, which is likely to cause root burning.

3. Skills

In addition to giving it suitable growth conditions, we also need some means to help it grow better.

The first one is pruning. Many friends think that it only needs to be pruned before and after flowering, because the pruning before flowering can make it bloom more and more brightly, and the pruning after flowering can help it recover quickly. In fact, at ordinary times, we also need to prune and cut leaves, so that some useless flowers can be removed in time, reducing the consumption of nutrients, and on the other hand, it can help it remove diseased leaves and prevent the spread of some diseases.

The second is to change the pot. The flowers that have been raised for many years do not grow well because they have not changed the pot. Changing pots for it can not only increase its growth space, but also give it new flower soil, provide more nutrients and make it grow better.
