1. How to buy Gardenia

There are two ways to buy gardenia. The first way is to go directly to the florist or flower market. This way is more intuitive and can be observed and selected on the spot. The second way is to purchase on the e-commerce platform, and then the seller will transport it through logistics. This way is convenient without going out, but it is not intuitive enough to see the specific product phase, and there is some uncertainty in the logistics transportation process

2. How to raise Gardenia

Pot soil: Gardenia just bought back usually brings garden soil. This soil is usually not suitable for family breeding or its quality is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the plant with a more suitable soil. However, the soil just bought is fragile and can't afford to toss again, so we should wait for the plants to adapt to the new environment and grow normally before changing pots and soil. The flowerpot does not need to be too large, it has certain air permeability, and there is a drainage hole at the bottom. The soil should be loose, fertile, breathable and acidic. It can be prepared by mixing garden soil, rotten leaf soil and coarse sand gravel in the ratio of 1:1:1

Sunshine: Gardenia just bought back cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. It should be maintained in an environment with a certain amount of scattered light. Wait for it to gradually adapt to the environment and enter the normal growth state before moving it to an environment with sufficient light. In summer, when the light is too strong, pay attention to shade, and in winter, you can accept full-time light

Moisture: just bought Gardenia should be watered with water once, also known as "root fixing water", which can promote plant root fixing. After it gradually enters the normal growth state, it can be watered according to the dryness and wetness of the basin soil. Pay attention not to have too much water to avoid ponding. In high temperature in summer, in addition to watering the root, you can also spray water on the leaves

Nutrient: Gardenia needs sufficient nutrient supply for flowering, so it needs to be fertilized in time. Especially in its may growth period and before flowering, sufficient fertilizer should be applied to ensure sufficient nutrients
