Eat some soy sauce for gardenia. The leaves are green and blooming constantly.

Gardenia, the birthday flower of the person born on March 19, has always been loved by flower friends for its white flowers and faint fragrance. Gardenia florescence is in summer and autumn, has a strong resistance to harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide, chlorine, and hydrogen fluoride, and can absorb sulfur in the air, so it is good to put it in a corner of the kitchen to purify the air.

For beginners, gardenia is not so easy to raise, or yellow leaves, or the leaves are very fat and green but do not blossom; I think to raise gardenia well, we must do the following points.

1. Basin. We should not underestimate this flowerpot. 50% of the flower friends will not choose the flowerpot to raise the flowers to death, raising a pot to die. Gardenia generally choose tile basin, good air permeability, strong water permeability, commonly used diameter in 12-25cm, according to the size of the plant, the basin should be changed every spring.

2. Soil. It is appropriate to use a mixture of culture soil, peat soil and sand with fertile, loose and well-drained acid soil, and add 10% mature cake fertilizer as base fertilizer.

3. Watering. The maintenance and watering of potted gardenia is the key point, many people's gardenia are either dry or waterlogged to death. When buying flowers, the florist will say, "it's okay to water every day." it's all a trick on you!

Water from April to September to see dry and wet, do not water every day, lest the plant appear yellow, resulting in yellow leaves. In July and August, the weather is dry, the water evaporates quickly, and the soil is easy to dry. According to the soil condition, it can be watered every day. When the summer temperature is very high, you can spray water on the leaves after going back from work in the evening. Pay attention to the flow rate of the sprinkler, do not spray, do not spray on the blooming flowers, and pay attention to ventilation after spraying water.

In view of the situation that the clay is difficult to penetrate, you can use a flower shower to water slowly, or use a bottle to water a little for 1-2 minutes until the water seeps naturally. Or use the soaking pot method, put the plant in the basin, let the water reach in naturally. However, it is not recommended to use the soaking method for a long time, which will cause the increase of salt and alkali in the anoxic basin, and the flowers are vulnerable to waterlogging and the whole plant will die.

The most noteworthy thing is to make it clear what kind of water to use. Rain Water is the best. Use tap water without Rain Water. Watering can add a little vinegar or citric acid, can enhance the acidity of the soil, especially friends in the north, the water in the north is alkaline. Gardenia jasminoides is a typical acidophilic soil plant, which grows most luxuriantly in slightly acidic soil.

4. Fertilization. From April to October, you can top fertilize once a month except florescence. When fertilizing, it should be noted that if too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, it will cause thick branches, large leaves and thick green, but it will not blossom, and there will be no flowering or bud withering and shedding in the absence of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. The best way to choose fertilizer for gardenia is to buy acid-like liquid fertilizer, which looks like "soy sauce".

In fact, this acid-loving liquid fertilizer, which is fermented from sugarcane molasses, is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which can promote flowering, and micro-acid elements can also increase the acidity of the soil. If the soil is neutral or alkaline, the leaves will slowly yellowing, affecting growth and flowering.
