The soil should be suitable

Gardenia is a plant that grows in the south, so when it grows in the north, the pH value of the soil needs to be adjusted. The soil in the north is still very alkaline, so you can add some acidic fertilizer to change the pH.

Keep the water content in check

When watering gardenias, do not water too much, but keep the soil moist, but do not allow water to accumulate, and do not allow the soil to become compacted, to ensure that the roots can breathe smoothly. So when watering, you have to ensure a certain degree.

Adequate lighting

Gardenia needs more sunlight. In fact, as long as it is not very scorching, you can put the gardenia in the sun and let it bask in the sun.

Proper pruning of branches and leaves

When growing gardenias, it is also necessary to prune the branches and leaves appropriately. In fact, sometimes you don’t have to wait until the gardenia is about to die before pruning it. Proper pruning can also sprout some new buds and enable it to grow better.

Be sure to keep three or four main trunks and cut off the remaining branches.
