Will you stop raising gardenias like this? There are always yellow leaves that do not blossom. 5 key points for maintenance, please remember.

Recently, Stone saw that many flower-growing friends are complaining about their gardenia flowers, which are either yellow leaves or do not bloom. Listen to the song since childhood: gardenia bloom! gardenia bloom! The gardenias raised by themselves do not blossom at all. What a shame!

The following is the stone summary of the gardenia yellow leaves and do not blossom reasons and solutions.

1. Improper lighting: gardenia due to light reasons will appear yellow leaves is a very common situation, the general light is too strong, will make gardenia leaves yellow, or even burn; another situation is long-term breeding in dark places, leaves will appear light yellow.

Solution: gardenia likes light, but it must not be exposed to strong light. It is best to put it in a place with scattered light. 60% light intensity is enough for it to grow.

two。 Improper watering: when it comes to watering gardenia, many flower friends will say that they can't control their hands and just want to water the potted plants! Of course, some flower friends said that they always forget to water the flowers. Anyway, there's something wrong with the watering.

Solution: gardenia likes to grow in a moist environment, but it doesn't mean that it is watered all the time. High-frequency watering will lead to stagnant water in the basin, poor breathing of the plant roots, and finally root death and yellow leaves. Therefore, to water the plant flowers, check the dry and wet soil in the basin before each watering, wait until the basin soil is dry for 2/3 (can be tested with a stick) and then water it thoroughly at one time.

3. Improper acidity and alkalinity: with regard to acidity, it is mainly manifested in the salinization of plant soil, while gardenia likes acidic soil. Once this happens, the plant is difficult to grow, the absorption of nutrients is limited, and the emergence of yellow leaves is inevitable.

Solution: to solve the problem of soil acidity and alkalinity, first of all, we should start with the cultivated soil and choose acidic soil when the plant is in the pot; if the local water quality is found to be alkaline during daily maintenance and watering, we can add some salt-free vinegar to the water to neutralize the water quality.

4. Improper pruning: it is very common that gardenia flowers do not bloom due to improper pruning, and long branches, old branches and weak branches will affect plant flowering; pruning must be essential if gardenia blossoms every year.

Solution: gardenia blossoms in all seasons except in winter. Therefore, pruning should be pruned according to the situation of your own potted plants. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to re-prune the old branches, weak branches and the overgrown branches of the previous year at the beginning of spring; do not prune before flowering, because the flower buds of gardenia will sprout at the top of the branches, and once they are pruned, they will not blossom; then they will be pruned after each flower, the stumps will be pruned, the overgrown branches will be trimmed, and the growing plants will be pruned.

5. Improper fertilization: general gardenia yellow leaves are caused by fertilization, is improper fertilization control, more or less! The occurrence of non-flowering is also related to the frequency and type of fertilization.

Solution: protect gardenia, fertilize once a year from the beginning of spring, apply compound fertilizer, apply strictly according to the instructions; supplement phosphate and potassium fertilizer (potassium dihydrogen phosphate) before flowering to promote the growth of flower buds; supplement compound fertilizer after flowering; supplement potash fertilizer before winter to ensure that the plant goes through the winter smoothly.
