Cultivation Techniques of Gardenia jasminoides

1. Seeding and cultivation

After collecting water gardenia, you need to dry it, then wait until the spring of the following year to cut the peel with scissors, soak it in warm water for 24 hours, rub off the impurities on the seeds, and dry them. Finally, sow the seeds with wood ash, cover them with a light layer of soil, and then cover them with straw. Water them appropriately to ensure the soil is moist, and remove the grass when seedlings grow. Apply a thin liquid fertilizer every 7-10 days.

2. Cutting cultivation

Cuttings are usually carried out in spring and autumn. Use strong branches about 20 cm long, remove the leaves and only keep the petiole. Insert it 2/3 into the soil and cover it with a layer of soil. Water it thoroughly to keep it moist and wait for it to take root.

3. Division cultivation

Division is usually carried out in spring. The roots of water gardenias produce shoots 15 to 25 cm high. The soil is then dug up to expose the root system. The roots of the shoots and the mother plant are cut off, and the shoots are taken out for planting.
