How to cultivate gardenia 1 and the culture environment
Gardenia likes sunny environment, so it should provide plenty of sunshine when cultivated, and shade 40% in summer. Moreover, gardenia is not cold-resistant or high-temperature-resistant, and it is most suitable to keep the cultivation temperature at 16- 18 degrees, and it is best to put it indoors in summer and winter to avoid poor plant growth.
2. Water and fertilizer management
Gardenia likes acidic environment. When watering, vinegar water, orange peel water or fermented rice washing water can be used to adjust the pH value of the soil. Gardenia likes fertilizer, and it is fertilized twice a month during the peak growth period, mainly with decomposed bean cake fertilizer, and foliar fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium is sprayed before and after flowering to promote the development of flower buds.
3. Pruning method
After gardenia enters the growth period, it will grow lush branches and leaves, which will affect the ventilation between plants. When breeding, the dead branches, horizontal branches, disorderly branches and dense branches of gardenia should be cut off with sterilized sharp scissors to improve the light transmittance. After pruning, carbendazim should be sprayed on the wound to disinfect it.
