How does gardenia winter?

Gardenia is a kind of flower plant with high ornamental value, which has a large planting area in our country. And gardenia also has a certain medicinal value, welcomed by many people. Therefore, there are still many people planting gardenia, and when planting gardenia into winter, it is necessary to strengthen management to ensure that gardenia can survive the winter safely. So how should gardenia survive the winter? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Temperature control

If you want gardenia to survive the winter safely, then temperature control must be done first. Although gardenia has a certain degree of cold resistance, but the lowest temperature can not be lower than zero. In winter in the south, because the winter temperature is not very low, it can be planted outside the house most of the time. And if in the north, then we must pay attention to cold protection and heat preservation work, the temperature should be kept above 5 degrees. To ensure that gardenia can safely survive the winter, grow normally, avoid frost injury and reduce the survival rate of gardenia.

2. Lighting control

Light is very important for the growth of gardenia. Gardenia needs a lot of light in the growth process, and it is no exception in winter. And because the natural light time in winter is reduced, we should pay more attention to it. In winter, while keeping the gardenia warm, we should also pay attention to maintain the appropriate light, so that the gardenia plant can receive direct sunlight, and the light time should be kept at least more than six hours a day. And in winter let gardenia receive sufficient sunlight can not only meet the light needs of gardenia, but also increase the temperature.

3. Reduce the amount of water

During the growing period of gardenia, water is naturally an indispensable substance. Gardenia also like to grow in a humid environment, but after entering winter, because gardenia will gradually enter the dormant period, the growth rate will slow down. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the amount of water, if too much watering, gardenia roots can not be absorbed, will lead to rotten roots, reduce soil temperature and so on, but affect the overwintering of gardenia. Therefore, watering in winter can not be carried out until the soil is dry, and some water can be sprayed to the leaves in a drier environment in winter.

4. Rational fertilization

When planting gardenia, fertilization is also indispensable. Reasonable fertilization can meet the growth and nutrition of gardenia, and improve the flowering rate and flower quantity of gardenia. But this is only carried out in the long-term period of gardenia peanuts, because the growth rate of gardenia is very slow in winter. The requirement for fertilizer is very low, basically there is no fertilizer. If you apply fertilizer blindly, gardenia can not be absorbed, which will not only lead to fertilizer waste, but also lead to plant fertilizer damage, seriously affecting the growth of gardenia.

The above is a brief introduction to how gardenias spend the winter. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
