1、 Soil

Small leaf gardenia is an acidic plant, so acidic soil is more suitable for its growth. If it is cultivated in the south, the acidic soil generally will not alkalize, but if it is cultivated in the north, the soil is easy to alkalize and harden, so it is necessary to often test the pH value of the soil. If the value is greater than 7, it is alkaline. If it is found that the soil is alkalized, you can mix vinegar or rotten leaf fertilizer into the soil, which can turn the alkaline soil into acidic soil

2、 Temperature

Small leaf gardenia is a plant that likes sunshine. If it grows in a sunny place, it is more conducive to its growth. It is best to ensure that the temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees. Gardenia is not cold resistant, so in autumn and winter, we need to take warm measures to help keep it from the cold. Outdoor plants can build a greenhouse, and indoor plants need to move away from warm places

3、 Humidity

The growth habit of small leaf Gardenia has high requirements for water. It must be watered twice or three times a week, and its branches and leaves should be sprayed sooner or later. Don't water too much at a time, because its root is a fleshy root. Too much will affect its respiration and absorption of nutrients, resulting in rotten roots. The amount of each watering can ensure that there is no ponding in the basin

4、 Basin selection

If you are potted gardenia, you can choose ceramic pots if you have conditions. The ceramic pots have good air permeability and are very suitable for raising plants with high requirements for pot soil
