How to care for gardenias? Can they be placed in the bedroom?

1. Maintenance methods

1. Flower soil: It is an acid-loving plant, so the loam that should be prepared has a lower pH value, is loose in texture and rich in organic matter. It can be mixed with 0.5% sulfur, and the effect is very good.

2. Sunlight: An environment with diffuse light would be more suitable for it. It cannot be exposed directly to the sun, otherwise the leaves will be burned. More than 60% daily light can make it grow better. In winter, because the temperature is relatively low and the intensity is relatively small, full light can be maintained for at least 7 hours a day.

3. Water: A humid environment is more suitable. During the growth period, the amount of water should be increased appropriately. Summer is very hot. In addition to replenishing sufficient water, you also need to spray water mist on the leaves 2-3 times a day to increase the humidity in the air. However, after the flower buds appear, you need to water them less frequently to prevent them from falling off. In winter, the soil in the pot needs to be drier.

4. Fertilizer: This is a fertilizer-loving plant. After entering the peak growing season, you can apply fertilizer every half a month.

2. Can it be placed in the bedroom?

Try not to place it in the bedroom. Its fragrance is strong, but smelling it for a long time can easily cause insomnia. It also needs sunlight, which may not be provided in the bedroom.
