How often should I water the gardenia?

1. Spring and Autumn

Because spring and autumn are its rapid growth periods, it needs to be watered in time. Usually you should replenish water every 2-3 days. When replenishing water, it is best to choose the morning or evening rather than noon. When adding water, if you find that the soil has not dried up yet, then do not add water until the soil is dry. This will prevent it from getting waterlogged.

2. Summer

Because summer is the time when water evaporates the fastest, the number of times you water it needs to be increased accordingly. Usually, watering is required every day. Watering should be done in the evening. If the soil is found to be completely dry the next morning, water it again. This can prevent it from becoming dehydrated due to high temperatures and scorching sun.

3. Winter

Winter is the time of year when it needs the least water. Because it grows very slowly at this time, it basically does not consume water. So usually it is enough to water it every 20-30 days or so. Do not water too frequently, because the temperature is relatively cold at this time, and the water cannot be absorbed, which may freeze the roots of the plant.
