2.Control light and temperature: Gardenias prefer warm, moist environments, but need to increase air humidity when maintaining in northern regions. When maintaining gardenias in spring, they should be placed in a well-lit place, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied every half month. In summer, the high temperature should be cooled, and the indoor temperature should be increased if the temperature is too low in winter to avoid strong light exposure.

6.Pest control: Gardenias are susceptible to pests and diseases, carbendazim or mancozeb can be sprayed once a month to prevent bacterial infection. When pests and diseases are found, they should be prevented and controlled in time.

To sum up, in order for gardenias to bloom the most beautiful flowers under careful care, we need to pay attention to the maintenance and management of light, temperature, moisture, fertilization, pest control, pruning and propagation. Healthy growth and flowering can only be promoted by giving plants the right growing conditions and sufficient nutrients**.
