Can Gardenia be repotted in summer?

Gardenias cannot be repotted in the summer. Generally speaking, the best time to repot gardenias is in spring and autumn, especially before the Qingming Festival.

Because the air humidity, temperature and light intensity at this time are more suitable for the growth and development of plants, they can quickly return to their proper state.

How to repot gardenia

We need to first take the gardenia out of the old pot. Be careful not to damage the plant, especially its roots. Remove the soil on the plant, but keep some of the old soil.

Then observe the roots of the plant, cut off the old and rotten roots, and disinfect them. Place the plant in the potting soil, cover the new pot with a layer of soil, and then fill and compact it.

Things to note when repotting gardenia

1. Maintenance

We need to prepare new soil for the gardenia and always observe its growth. If it grows very well, we need to prepare a larger flowerpot and water the gardenia about three days in advance, which will help us remove the plant.

2. Watering

After planting in a new pot, we need to pour a small amount of water, never too much, and then place the gardenia in a sunny and ventilated environment, waiting for the plant to grow. Under normal circumstances, it will take about ten days to fully adapt.
