Maintenance method of small leaf Gardenia

Humidity

Sufficient moisture and appropriate humidity are the necessary conditions for the growth of Gardenia jasminoides. In the growth period of the plant, we should pay attention to an appropriate amount of water. At the same time, leaf water spraying is also essential, which can increase the air humidity. It should be noted that watering in winter should be controlled appropriately and not too much to prevent freezing in the basin and frostbite

Temperature

Appropriate temperature is the guarantee for the growth of Gardenia jasminoides. The best growth temperature of Gardenia jasminoides is 18 ℃ to 22 ℃. Too high or too low temperature is not conducive to plant growth. Therefore, pay attention to ventilation and heat preservation and cooling

Illumination

Sufficient light is the premise for the growth of Gardenia jasminoides. Gardenia is a light loving plant. In spring and autumn, we should pay attention to increasing light. Gardenia can be raised outdoors; Avoid exposure to the sun in summer to avoid sunburn; In winter, it is necessary to control watering to avoid frostbite in sunny places indoors

Soil

Gardenia jasminoides is a typical acid loving plant, so in the selection of soil, the pH value should be controlled between 4.0-6.5 to create an acidic environment for the plant. In addition, the soil must be loose and fertile with good air permeability, so that gardenia can breathe smoothly

Fertilization

Fertilization is essential for the growth and flowering of Gardenia jasminoides. Especially in the vigorous growth period, whether the fertilizer is sufficient or not plays a decisive role in whether the plant can blossom. In daily maintenance, soybean cake fertilizer and peanut bran can be applied once a half month

Precautions for maintenance of Gardenia minor

Fertilization should be appropriate

Gardenia minor likes fat, but is afraid of thick fat, so it should be used in an appropriate amount. Add cake fertilizer water rich in phosphorus and potassium before the budding period, and stop fertilization after budding to avoid burning roots and falling buds with too high fertilizer concentration; During the vigorous growth period, apply cake fertilizer and water once every 2 weeks, and cooperate with ferrous sulfate to avoid soil hardening and salinization

Like light, afraid of exposure

Gardenia minor likes light but is afraid of direct light exposure. After exposure, the leaves turn yellow, have sunburn spots or even fall off, so put the flowers in the semi shade in summer~~
