Environmental conditions for the growth of Gardenia jasminoides

Gardenia is a very common flower in China, not only has a high ornamental value, its flowers can be fried and eaten, but also has a certain medicinal effect. There is a wide range of planting areas in China, but no matter it is large-scale planting or family pot culture, it can not be planted anywhere. Because the growth of gardenia has certain requirements on environmental conditions, today the editor has brought you the growth environment of gardenia. Let's have a look!

1. Soil

Gardenia has certain requirements on the soil, it must be planted in the sour soil, otherwise it can not survive. Therefore, when we choose to plant soil, we must pay attention to the pH of the soil, and control the soil PH value at about 5, which is very beneficial to the growth of gardenia. And the soil can not be hardened, to ensure that it is fertile enough and rich in organic matter to meet the nutrition needed for the growth of gardenia. Soil is the primary and important requirement for the growth environment of Gardenia jasminoides, and it is the key factor to determine the normal growth of Gardenia jasminoides.

2. Temperature

Gardenia is relatively cool, the most suitable temperature for its growth is about 17 degrees, but not too low, the temperature discomfort is very disadvantageous to the growth of gardenia. And the temperature requirements of Gardenia jasminoides in different growth periods will also change, for example, in the flowering period, the suitable temperature should be kept at about 25 degrees. With the increase of the number of years of gardenia plants, its cold resistance will be enhanced, but the minimum should not be less than 5 degrees below zero. Otherwise, it is easy to lead to frost injury of gardenia, blackening of leaves and death of branches. It is necessary to adjust the temperature according to seasonal changes, such as ventilation in summer, increase humidity in summer, and increase temperature appropriately in winter to prevent the temperature from falling below zero.

3. Moisture

Gardenia is very fond of water, like to grow in a warm and humid environment, the demand for water is very large. Moisture and air humidity are very important for the growth of Gardenia jasminoides. In the long-term period of gardenia peanut, attention should be paid to watering, proper spraying, improving air humidity and promoting leaf waterlogging. However, when we are watering, we should decide according to the season and soil moisture. When the soil is white and short of water, we should water it in time. However, it is also necessary to properly control the amount of water in winter to prevent frost damage, retting roots and other bad phenomena. And after the gardenia flower bud appearance, we should also pay attention to control, prevent the bud falling, and reduce the ornamental value.

4. Lighting

Gardenia likes light, and there is a great demand for light in the growth process, especially in spring and autumn, to ensure that gardenia has an average of about 8 hours of light every day. Otherwise, it will cause great hindrance to the growth and successful overwintering of gardenia. But in summer, we should pay attention to sunscreen work to prevent direct sunlight for too long, otherwise it will lead to gardenia leaves yellowing. Therefore, sunshade facilities should be properly built in summer to maintain a light transmittance of about 45%. It is necessary to bask in the sun properly in winter to prevent the freezing injury of gardenia caused by too low temperature.

The above is a brief introduction of gardenia growth environment requirements, in fact, these are not only gardenia growth environment requirements, but also we need to do a good job in the planting process of management. In order to ensure the healthy growth of gardenia and improve the economic benefits of planting. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
