1. Reasons for Gardenia bud falling

Many flower friends buy gardenia flowers and find that gardenia buds fall off and turn yellow within a few days after they go home. This is the most common situation. For plants in flowering stage, it's best not to move their position and change the environment casually, but when people buy gardenia, they like to buy plants with full buds

Therefore, when Gardenia enters a new environment, it must have an adaptation period to the new environment. In the process of adaptation, the phenomenon of flower bud falling is easy to appear

The Gardenia that has just returned home is first placed at the scattered light and watered with water, so that it can slowly adapt to the environment, and gradually move to the environment with sufficient light, and its growth will slowly recover

2. Causes of gardenia yellow leaves

Gardenia yellow leaves, mostly because of watering problems

Gardenia likes acid. If the water and soil are alkaline, it must be yellow leaves. The solution is to buy the special soil used for gardenia. Secondly, when watering, you can add a few drops of vinegar to the water to improve the alkaline water quality

If the soil is dry for a long time, or there is ponding, it will also cause the yellow leaves of Gardenia to fall off, and it is best to keep the soil moist

In addition, if the air is not circulating and too muggy, it is also easy to lead to poor growth of Gardenia. Now the weather is warm, it is best to open the window often. If possible, you can raise it in the open air, and the effect is better

3. How to water Gardenia

When watering, rainwater is preferred; When watering flowers with tap water, you can add a little white vinegar or citric acid to enhance the acidity of the soil

Methods to improve alkaline water:

Citric acid: one liter of water to 0.5g citric acid

Edible vinegar: 3ml vinegar for one liter of water

Orange peel: soak fresh orange peel in water until the water is slightly yellow

Rice washing water: rice washing water can be used, but not often. It can be used once a month

Watering in summer is best in the morning or evening. The next day after watering, loosen the soil appropriately according to the soil conditions. If watering for a few days, the soil is still wet and ventilated. When changing pots in the coming year, pay attention to the selection of soil matrix and be sure to be loose and breathable
