What if gardenia flowers only grow bones and do not blossom?

Gardenia jasminoides is one of the most popular plants among many green plants. when it blossoms, it smells elegant and refreshing. Raising a pot in the home can play a good role in decoration.

Although it is said that more flower friends like breeding, gardenia is also one of the green plants that many flower friends can not raise well. Many gardenia flowers are about to blossom, as a result, the flowering period has passed, only to see the continuous withering of the bud, did not see the blooming of the flowers. Today, Hua'ergu is here to talk to you about the reasons why gardenia flowers only grow buds and do not blossom and how to deal with them.

Gardenia does not bloom, we first need to make sure that gardenia is in the middle of flowering, if the flowering time has not arrived, it is naturally impossible to bloom. If the flowering time has come, the flower bone blossoms grow but do not blossom for a long time, and even some flowers have begun to wither. In this way, we need to find out the cause and the solution. The more common causes of growing bud without flowering are lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, lack of light, water problems, soil alkalinity and overgrowth.

1. Lack of phosphate and potassium fertilizer

Lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer will lead to less flowering, but also lead to the bud can not grow. So we need to replenish it with some phosphate and potassium fertilizer before flowering. Due to the vast territory of our country and the large span of north-south direction, the flowering time is different in different places. The more common flowering period of Gardenia jasminoides is about March-July. We must choose the right time to apply fertilizer according to local conditions.

2. Lack of light

Although gardenia is more shady, it also likes light, so we can't raise it in a dark place, otherwise it will lead to overgrowth and non-flowering over a long period of time. Lack of light will lead to lack of photosynthesis, resulting in the production of essential nutrients for flowering. On the contrary, we cannot raise potted gardenias in the open air in summer, which will lead to excessive light and burns of bud leaves. The problem of lighting is one of the common reasons for gardenia falling.

3. Water problem

When it comes to the flowering period, the demand for water of gardenia is relatively strict. We can't water too much or too little. Otherwise, flowers will not grow because of the water. We need to water strictly according to the principle of dry and wet.

4. Soil alkali.

It is common that gardenia flower bud can not bloom in the north due to alkaline soil. At this time, we need to use some fertilizers such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate to acidify the soil. Only in this way can gardenia grow better and flowers can bloom. At ordinary times, we can also collect some Rain Water to water gardenia, which can improve the acidity of the soil and prevent soil Alkalization.

5. The problem of overgrowth

Gardenia is not pruned at the right time, resulting in excessive growth of its branches and leaves, resulting in a lack of nutrients, resulting in the failure of the flower to grow into a flower. Therefore, we need to carry out the necessary pruning, some withered leaves and overgrown branches will be trimmed off, so that more nutrients can be retained to promote flowering.

The above is the reason why the gardenia flower only grows and does not bloom and the solutions are introduced to you by Hua'ergu. As long as we learn and sum up these experiences, the general cultivation of gardenia will not encounter too many problems. For example, it can play a good role in watering and promoting flowers and preventing overgrowth.
