Is it difficult to raise Gardenia? It's too hard

Gardenia bought by the florist basically has a lot of buds, one by one. It seems that you can get a pot of fragrant Gardenia when you buy it home, but! This is not the case

Gardenia we bought are basically cultivated in greenhouses. Flower farmers have applied a lot of fertilizer in the early stage, so they all look vibrant

It is much easier to raise Gardenia in the South than in the north. It's hard to feed in the south, but it's hard to feed in the north. There's not much nonsense. Huahua first said a few iron rules for raising Gardenia:

1. Gardenia wilting is lack of water

2. The leaves are yellow and watered less

3. Old without flowering is little light

4. The clay must be changed

5. The bud should not be covered with water

6. New leaves are white and lack iron fertilizer

7. Yellow leaves and less fertilization

Let's talk about the problems needing attention in raising gardenia

The leaves wilt when you buy them home, especially in the north

Generally, Gardenia jasminoides Ellis is prone to wilting, because its leaves are relatively large and the water evaporates quickly. The air humidity in the north is not as high as that in the south, which is easy to lead to Gardenia wilting due to lack of water

Another reason is that the Gardenia comes out of the greenhouse. The root system is damaged, which directly affects the water absorption capacity and leads to water shortage

Solution:

1. Reduce branches, leaves and flowers. This will reduce water consumption and reduce the burden on Gardenia

2. Cover with plastic bags for moisturizing. Put on plastic bags, the evaporation of water will slow down. Put them in a ventilated place, not in direct sunlight. Open it for half an hour at night

3. Dip basin watering. Put the Gardenia basin in the basin with water, and the water surface is 2 / 3 below the soil surface

Principle of watering: less watering at low temperature and more watering at high temperature. Generally, water once every 2 ~ 3 days. You can sprinkle water around the flowers every day to increase the humidity of the air

There are flower buds, but they just don't bloom

1. The reason why Gardenia doesn't bloom has little to do with humidity, mainly because the light is not enough. The simplest and rough way is to let it bask in the sun

2. There are three conditions for flowering: sufficient light, certain temperature difference and fertilizer. If there are flower buds but do not blossom, it is right to bask in the sun. A certain temperature difference plays an auxiliary role. Sufficient fertilizer is the basic condition for breeding flower buds

3. Sometimes it is found that the flower buds grow and fall off for two reasons: the first is excessive watering and the second is insufficient nutrition

① Gardenia likes to be wet, but it doesn't mean to water every day. It's easy to rot roots due to ponding. Be ventilated! In addition, when spraying water on the leaf surface, do not spray it on the flower bud! Or I'll show you right away

② When there are many flower buds, you should know the choice. Cut off the small ones and leave the large ones. If the leaves are too dense, they will also absorb the nutrition needed for flowering. You should cut them off in time

③ For example, the application of hydrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer should promote the flowering period

If the Gardenia at home is losing its bud, move to a ventilated place quickly, cut off the stronger leaves under the bud, and bask in the sun (not directly through the glass). Never spray water on the remaining bud, so they may still be saved

What is the principle of changing soil and basin

1. Many people buy Gardenia from clay soil. Although this soil is not short of iron, it affects the flower's ability to absorb iron. It has poor air permeability and cannot be watered thoroughly. Generally, it needs to change the soil

To judge whether it's clay or not, dip your wet hand in the basin soil to see if it's sticky. What's sticky is clay

2. If you use loess, you don't have to change the soil in a hurry. You can consider it after flowering

3. Some gardenias have flower buds when they are bought. Don't change the soil for pots unless you don't want to see flowers

4. It should also be noted that do not fill the basin, that is, directly move the root with soil into another soil. Either the original soil and the original basin, or wash the roots and change the basin and soil

5. The soil suitable for Gardenia growth can be prepared with coarse sand, perlite and peat soil in the ratio of 1:1:2. Those with more luxury can be replaced with red jade soil

Principle of changing basin: good ventilation, and the root can be as big as the basin; The pot soil is very loose and breathable, so you can choose a larger flowerpot; If the flowerpot has good air permeability, such as tile basin and porous plastic basin, the basin can be larger

Iron deficiency is easy to yellow leaves, and fat is also yellow leaves

1. If the newly grown leaves of Gardenia are green and white, it means that it lacks iron

① Take ferrous sulfate in the size of rice grain and add 2 bottles of mineral water to mix into a solution, and spray it on the leaf surface. Spray once every half a month

② However, the amount of ferrous sulfate is small each time, and it is easy to get damp. To add trace elements, it is convenient and effective to use home-made rotten rice washing water and peel water. The production method can search the articles before Huahua~

2. Too much fertilizer will also lead to gardenia yellow leaves, so we must control the amount, not greedy

3. It must be reminded that the Gardenia just bought back in the slow seedling stage, the Gardenia just changed the soil, and the Gardenia when the temperature is lower than 20 degrees, do not apply fertilizer, and do not apply any fertilizer

Flower friends in the north can easily feed themselves by buying Gardenia at this time. They basically have flower buds. They don't have to go through the test of temperature conversion. The larger the flower bud, the easier it is to open. Those who are interested can try it

Are many flower friends baffled by Gardenia

Don't worry~
