Is Gardenia easy to grow?

1. Is it easy to maintain?

Gardenia is one of the easiest flowers to maintain. It is not very demanding in terms of light, soil, water, fertilizer, etc. However, if you do not pay attention to the maintenance methods, problems may easily arise and yellow leaves may appear. As long as you pay attention to the maintenance methods and maintain a suitable growing environment, the plant can be grown well at home and has many benefits. It has ornamental value and can also bring bursts of fragrance. However, do not place it in the bedroom. The strong sunlight in a south-facing bedroom will burn the plant, and the fragrance it emits at night can also cause insomnia.

2. How to feed

1. Soil: Soil is an important condition that determines the survival of the plant. Acidic loam needs to be provided. It can be mixed with leaf mold, sandy loam, and river sand. If the soil is too alkaline, you can also add some ferrous sulfate to improve the soil pH.

2. Water: It likes a humid environment, so pay attention to watering during the growing period. Generally, water it after observing that the soil in the pot turns white, and water it thoroughly at one time. In summer, it is not only necessary to water the plants, but also to spray water mist about 2-3 times. This can not only increase the humidity but also lower the temperature.

3. Fertilizer: It is a relatively fertilizer-loving plant. April is the growing season, and fertilizer needs to be applied every half a month to meet the nutrient needs of flowering.
