1、 How many times a year

Large Gardenia usually blooms once a year. The flowering period is from May to June every year. The flowering time is relatively long. It can bloom successively from May to June to August. The fruit ripening period is in October, but the flowering time of a single flower is 4-5 days. Small Gardenia usually blooms once in early summer and once in autumn

2、 What if it doesn't bloom

1. Water and fertilizer: in its growth period, if the water supply and fertilizer are excessive, it will lead to long branches without flowering, and the lack of nutrients will also lead to no flowering or few flowering. Even if it will bloom, it will soon fail. At this time, we should pay attention to increasing the application of fertilizer containing scale and potassium

2. Light: it doesn't like strong light, but it can't be without light. It should be covered with half shade in summer and can be maintained in a place with sufficient indoor light in winter

3. Soil: it likes acidic soil. The soil in the North contains high salt, so it may be more alkaline. If such soil is used, it may lead to poor plant growth and development

4. Pruning: if you don't prune messy branches, pest branches, etc. for a long time, you will consume a lot of nutrition. When the branches are too dense, they may block each other and affect ventilation

5. Diseases and insect pests: when the diseases and insect pests are serious, it may damage the plant and cause flower buds to fall off, so we should also pay attention to the damage of diseases and insect pests in planting
