3. Temperature

Gardenia likes warm environment, the best temperature for growth is 16-18 degrees, the temperature is too high or too low will be detrimental to its growth. Therefore, in summer high temperature season, we should find ways to reduce the growth environment temperature, winter low temperature season needs to keep warm work, summer and winter seasons can choose indoor ventilation better environment breeding.

4. Water

Gardenia flowers like humid environment, for soil moisture and air humidity have higher requirements, in the growing season to ensure water supply, to frequent watering, at the same time can spray water mist to leaves or growth environment, improve air humidity, winter to pay attention to watering, so as not to cause excessive water rot root phenomenon.

5. Fertilization

Medium demand for fertility, it is recommended that during the growing season, fertility is applied once every two weeks, which is conducive to the growth of its branches and leaves, and the flowers will bloom more and more.

2. Diseases and pests

The main diseases of Gardenia jasminoides L. are leaf yellowing and leaf spot. Leaf yellowing is due to lack of plant nutrients. Fertilization should be applied in time when it is discovered. Leaf spot disease can be sprayed with 65% zinc wettable powder 600 times. Insect pests are mainly stinging moths, scale insects and whiteflies, which can be sprayed by purchasing pesticides.
