What fertilizer is good for gardenia?

1. Is the fertilizer requirement high?

Generally speaking, its demand for fertilizer is relatively large. As we said above, it is a flower that likes fertilizer. Especially during certain periods, such as when the growth rate is fast, when it blooms, etc.

2. What fertilizer to apply at a specific time

(1) First, let’s talk about base fertilizer, which is the fertilizer mixed into the soil during planting. At this time, you can add organic fertilizers, such as cake fertilizer, or some animal manure.

(2) Then there is the method of fertilizing during its growth period. The frequency is about once every ten days, and you can use liquid fertilizer. Generally speaking, we use ten to fifteen percent cake fertilizer water. In addition, to prevent the soil from tending to alkalinize, some ferrous sulfate solution can be added.

(3) Now let’s talk about the budding stage. During this period, one or two applications of fertilizer are required. The type used may be the (KH2PO4) solution mentioned above. Doing this will make the flowers bloom more beautifully and the fragrance will be stronger. However, it should be noted that after the flower buds crack, there is no need to continue applying it. Otherwise, it may cause the flowers to fall.

3. How to prepare your own fertilizer

(1) First, you can put rice water and rotten tomatoes in the same container. After they are fully fermented, they can be used as fertilizer. This fertilizer can make the plants grow luxuriantly.

(2) You can also use fertilizer made from fermented fruit peels. There are many types of fruit peels to choose from, such as banana peels, watermelon peels, etc.
