How to make your gardenia grow buds smoothly, grow more buds, and even the branches are full of buds, how can you do it?In fact, it is very simple, just pay attention to these points.
Prepare acidic soils
In fact, gardenia is a kind of southern flower, because the soil pH in the south is slightly acidic, so this gardenia potted plant is naturally suitable for growing in slightly acidic soil. It is advisable to pay attention to this when maintaining. If it is ordinary garden soil in the north, you need to adjust the pH of the soil. After all, the northern soils are alkaline. Usually, it can be adjusted by watering the fermented rice washing water. Of course, if you want to quickly adjust the pH of the soil, you can also dilute it 500 times with aluminum sulfate solution and water it into the gardenia pot.
Fertilizer should be supplemented regularly
Many flower friends do not have the Xi of fertilizing flowers, but it is not possible to raise gardenias without fertilization, when nutrients are missing and cannot be replenished in time, the plant is prone to yellow leaves and leaves, and even flower buds fall during the bud period.
Gardenia is more fertilizing, when we pot it, we should mix some fermented and rotted organic fertilizer into the culture soil, such as sheep manure, chicken manure, bean cake, etc., not only to make the potting soil soft and breathable, but also to have a certain fertility, so that the root system of the plant grows strong, and the branches and leaves will flourish.
In the daily maintenance of gardenias, it is also necessary to fertilize regularly, because this kind of acidic soil flowers, once the maintenance time is long, the nutrients in the potting soil become scarce will appear yellow leaves, usually you can often water it with some thin ferrous sulfate water-soluble fertilizer, which can not only make the leaves more green, but also grow more luxuriant.
Push to see the light
The most critical point for gardenia buds to fall is due to insufficient light. For example, the buds of your gardenia grow very large and are about to open, and at this time, it will suddenly be cloudy for about a week, which will cause the buds to not open, black on them, or all fall off. So we have to try to see the light now, if we don't see the light, it will lead to the situation of falling buds. Its buds can only grow quickly and open quickly when they see light.
