Why doesn't gardenia have buds?

1. Improper temperature

In the winter of the previous year, if the temperature is not controlled well and exceeds 12 degrees, it will easily cause the seedlings to sprout prematurely, which will be detrimental to their flowering in the second year. Therefore, in winter, pay attention to temperature changes and the wintering temperature should not be too high.

2. Improper fertilization

During its growth period, it needs a variety of nutrients to promote growth. If too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, the stems and leaves will grow wildly, but the flowers will bloom less or not at all. It's not just too much nitrogen fertilizer. If you provide fertilizers that don't contain enough potassium and phosphorus, there will be very few flowers, and even if flower buds grow, they will easily fall off. However, the frequency of fertilization should not be too high. Applying it once a week is enough to supply its growth.

3. Improper lighting

Although it is suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment, it needs sunlight to grow. If there is insufficient light for a long time, the plant will grow poorly and will not produce flower buds. The role of light cannot be ignored. Direct light exposure is required, but when the sunlight is more intense in the summer, timely shading is required.
