Does gardenia like water or dryness? What can I add when watering?

1. Do you like water or dryness?

Gardenia likes a warm and humid growing environment and prefers water, so you must pay attention to watering during its growth. If it is not watered for a long time, the soil in the pot will dry out and crack, and the roots will find it difficult to absorb water, causing the leaves of the plant to turn yellow and the stems to become soft, which will affect its growth.

Pay attention to the frequency of watering. In spring and autumn, you only need to water every 3 days. In summer, the climate is hot and dry, and water evaporates quickly, so you can water it once a day. In winter, the climate is cold, and the growth rate is slow, so you can water it every half a month. Although gardenias need to be watered in time, the amount of water must be controlled and not overwatered to avoid water accumulation.

2. What can be added when watering?

1. Rice washing water: Rice washing water is a common thing in life. You can collect the water from washing rice, seal it up and let it compost and ferment. After fermentation, you can add a certain proportion of clean water and use it to water gardenias.

2. Vinegar: Gardenia likes an acidic environment, so you can add a little vinegar to the water, especially in the north where the soil and water are alkaline, so acidic substances need to be added to neutralize it.

3. Beer: Adding beer to water is also a good choice. It can supplement nutrients to gardenia and promote growth.
