Excessive watering leads to yellow leaves

The Gardenia period ended just in time for autumn. Many friends felt that the weather was cool and the Gardenia should not be as delicate as summer, so they began to water it all the time

Symptoms:

From the bottom, the leaves slowly turn yellow upward, and there are basically no yellow leaves at the top. The veins of the leaves are normal green, and other parts of the leaves are yellow

Rescue measures:

Poke the soil with chopsticks, loosen the soil, and then put it in a well ventilated place to accelerate the evaporation of accumulated water in the soil

Alkaline soil leads to yellow leaves

Friends in the North should know that gardenia is really difficult to raise! This is mainly because the alkaline soil in the north is not suitable for the growth of gardenia, and the yellowing of leaves has become a commonplace

Symptoms:

The veins of new leaves are green, but the mesophyll is yellow green, while the old leaves are basically normal

Rescue measures:

Prepare a plastic bottle, add 100g citric acid, put a rusty nail and fill it with water. When the rust disappears and the solution turns light green, pour Gardenia 500 times with water. Use it once every 10 days, and the yellow leaves will slowly disappear

Excessive fertilization leads to yellow leaves

In order to make Gardenia grow fast and strong, many flower friends like to add some fertilizer to the water every time they water. More times, they will find that there are more and more yellow leaves of Gardenia

Symptoms:

The old leaves begin to turn yellow from the veins and gradually spread to the whole leaf. In serious cases, the whole plant will turn yellow

Rescue measures:

Flush the basin soil with large water, or use the basin leaching method to dilute the excessive fertilizer in the soil

Yellow leaves due to environmental changes

Many flower friends like to buy Gardenia at the change of season, but after buying it home, the original green leaves suddenly turn yellow and fall off

Symptoms:

Gardenia leaves turn yellow unevenly after buying it home for a few days or moving it back indoors from outside

Rescue measures:

Keep it in the astigmatic and ventilated place for a period of time, and wait for Gardenia to slowly adapt to the new environment. If Gardenia leaves turn yellow for more than half a month, we should consider washing roots and changing pots

Wash the root of Gardenia to ensure that it will not rot for 10 years

Many gardenias bought in the flower market are made of clay, which will gradually become hardened after watering for many times. Like bricks, it is easy to accumulate water and cause Gardenia rotten roots

1. If it is found that the soil is hard, it is best to remove the basin and wash the roots for the normal growth of Gardenia

2. Prepare a large bucket, pour in clean water, soak the Gardenia out of the basin in water and wash the roots. Don't break the soil on the root system. It's easy to hurt the root. It's best to take it out and shake it every other period of time to let it soak naturally

3. After cleaning, trim the rotten roots of gardenia, and then soak in the rooting water for half an hour. Some carbendazim can be added to the rooting water

4. Prepare nutritious soil during Gardenia root soaking. Gardenia planting soil can be mixed with rotten leaf soil and coconut bran, and then mixed with some coarse sand and perlite. Before the soil enters the pot, lay a few pieces of broken bricks or wooden strips at the bottom of the pot

5. Pour water into the basin and move to a cool and ventilated place. Prepare a mineral water bottle, pierce 6 small holes with a sewing needle on one side of the bottle, fill it with water, tighten the bottle cap, put it next to the root of gardenia, and let it drip slowly
