Sister Li, a florist, raises gardenia and drinks nutritious water every 10 days. She can open 60 gardenias at a time.

Sister Li, the flower friend, especially likes gardenia. The gardenia leaves she raised are greenish green and never yellow. Moreover, she said that her gardenia blossoms very often. Once she counted more than 60 gardenia flowers, which was really amazing. I asked her how she did it. She said that after she retired, she had nothing to do with growing flowers, so she was able to raise them so well. Ask her what secret recipe she has. The eldest sister said bluntly. I teach you, you share with the flower friends, today let's talk about Li's little secret recipe for raising gardenia, thank you again for her selflessness.

Flower friends should know that gardenia likes acidic soil, so Sister Li said that the key to raising Gardenia is to maintain the acidity of Gardenia soil. Sister Li has two small ways to do this. Let's take a look.

Take a dip in the willow branches, gardenia really like it.

This method can generally be used in spring, summer and autumn. Flower friends can break some willow branches when they go out for a walk in the park. It is better to send those born that year and cut them into sections when they get home. It is best to smash the bark of the willow branches a little bit, and then put them in a water basin and fill them with water for 24 hours to water the flowers. The effect is really good.

The principle is: Willow contains salicylic acid, using willow bark and willow branches to make acid water, which can maintain the acidity of the soil, so it is especially suitable for gardenia.

Soak the orange peel and apple peel, and drink the gardenia at a time.

This method is generally used in winter, when it is time to eat oranges and apples. Flower friends can take an orange peel and soak it with leftover apple kernels and apple peels, and water the flowers 3 hours later. This method is relatively simple and does not need fermentation. It is especially suitable for flower friends who live in buildings, and the effect after use is amazing.

Do not want to achieve the goal of fertilization, you can also cut up the orange peel and apple peel and put it into a plastic bottle, add 8 points full of rice water, and put it in the sun for fermentation. Gardenia can be watered in about 20 days in summer.

But must be mixed with water, the ratio is 1:20, flower friends can try, so fermented flower fertilizer, there will be some sour smell.

If you want to raise gardenia well, you should also pay attention to other maintenance. Let's take a look at it.

1. Light and temperature

The most suitable temperature for the growth of seed flower is 18 ℃-22 ℃. Gardenia should be maintained in a place with good ventilation, high air humidity and light transmission in summer. In winter, it should be placed in a sunny environment of not less than 0 ℃, and let it dormancy naturally. If the temperature is too high, it will affect the flowering in the coming year.

Afraid of direct bright light, the shade degree is required to be about 50%. If exposed to the sun, the leaves turn yellow and whiten until they fall off, so they should be kept in a shady place or a place with scattered light in summer. Make it see light in the morning and evening to prevent the leaves from yellowing.

2. Watering

Gardenia likes to be moist, keep the basin soil moist during the growth period, and pay attention to increase air humidity. High temperature in summer and dry weather should be watered more; in spring and summer, spray leaf surface with clear water every morning and evening, and sprinkle water to the ground around the basin to increase air humidity; watering should be less in winter, but branches and leaves still need to be sprayed regularly to keep the leaf surface clean.

3. Pruning

Cutting off the top tip of Gardenia jasminoides to promote branching is beneficial to more flowering. Buds are formed every April, so attention should be paid to preserving buds when removing branches from part of the trunk from April to May. Cut off immediately after the failure of flowers in June, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients and promote the development of new branches. When the new branch grows to 2-3 nodes, the heart is picked for the first time to reduce the loss of the camp.
