What to do if the leaves of gardenia are dry

1. Replace acidic soil

If the problem is caused by unsuitable soil, you can replace the potting soil or add acidic substances to improve it. If the maintenance environment is in the north, the soil will be obviously alkaline, or the soil will become alkaline after multiple watering, which will cause the leaves to turn yellow and dry.

2. Control Lighting

The leaves may become dry because the light is too strong, causing sunburn. If this continues for a long time, the injured areas will become dry. If this is the reason, you may need to adjust the placement of the plant, or control the intensity and time of light. Do not expose the plant to the sun for a long time. If the summer sun is too strong, you can use something to block it.

3. Proper watering

If its leaves become dull and lifeless at first, and then gradually become dry and yellow, then you should first check the root system of the plant. If there is no problem, water it appropriately. After its leaves unfold, you can carry out normal watering and daily maintenance.
