1、 How

1. Acidic soil: Gardenia like to grow in acidic soil, and it is easy to grow poorly in alkaline soil. The pH value of the soil is about 5-6. In addition to maintaining acidic conditions, it also needs to be soft and drained

2. Lighting conditions: it cannot grow without sunshine. It needs to keep enough sunshine to maintain normal growth. It cannot be placed in a place where there is no light for a long time. However, the light in summer is too strong and needs to be covered properly

3. Reasonable watering: during its growth, it needs reasonable watering to maintain its water demand. In summer, the air is relatively dry, so it is necessary to spray water mist on the leaves to increase humidity. In winter, the temperature will drop. At this time, the water evaporation will be reduced, and the water demand is not much, so the water supply can be reduced appropriately

4. Apply fertilizer: apply enough base fertilizer before planting in the pot. At the vigorous growth stage, apply fertilizer every half a month to ensure the supply of nutrients. However, there are requirements for fertilizer, and excessive fertilizer cannot be applied

2、 Do leaves fall in winter

Gardenia is an evergreen shrub, so it will not lose its leaves in winter, and its leaves will remain green. If yellow leaves are found to lose their leaves, there may be a problem in maintenance
