How to Make Gardenias Bloom

1. Adequate fertilizer and water

To promote flowering, use sufficient fertilizer and water during the growing period. Fertilizer should be applied about once every ten days, and organic fertilizer can be used. Before flowering, fertilizer containing phosphorus should be used to promote flowering. When the surface soil turns white, you can water it, and watering should be timely. In addition, stop watering before fertilizing, and then water thoroughly afterwards.

2. Topping

After the new branches have three nodes, pinch the top once to promote the germination of side buds. In August, you can pinch the tips again to promote flowering.

3. Proper ventilation

Ventilation is necessary, but the wind should not be too strong, and it should not be placed on the vent, otherwise the formed flower buds will easily fall off.

4. Suitable soil

You can choose good soil at the beginning, which will also affect the subsequent flowering. Breathability and drainage are the most basic requirements. In addition to these, there are also requirements regarding acidity and alkalinity. Growing it in acidic soil will help it bloom.

5. Provide sufficient light

To promote flowering, light is naturally indispensable. Placing gardenias in a well-lit location can effectively promote flowering.
