1. Choose potting soil. Many people don’t know the methods and precautions for growing potted gardenias. If you want to grow potted gardenias well, you must first choose a suitable potting soil for them. The soil suitable for its growth is loose and fertile acidic soil. You can use a mixture of pastoral soil and leaf mold soil, and then choose a flowerpot with strong drainage performance.

2. Proper water and fertilizer. Gardenia has high requirements for water and fertilizer during its growth. Gardenia likes to grow in a humid environment. It is afraid of drought and waterlogging, so it needs to be watered every time. The principle of watering can be small and frequent, as long as water does not accumulate at the bottom of the pot. Fertilization is also very important for the growth of gardenias. During the growth period, thin fertilizer can be applied frequently.

3. Light and temperature control. Potted gardenias have strict light and temperature control and can grow in full sun or half sun. When the sun is strong enough, they need to be shaded. At the same time, gardenias should be properly cooled in summer, and heat preservation measures should be taken in winter to allow gardenias to grow better.

4. Prune in time. Gardenia grows very fast, so it is very necessary to prune it properly no matter what period it is. The main purpose is to thin out its dead branches and leaves and crown. It can prevent the loss of nutrients, and secondly, it can make the entire potted plant more light-transmissive, so that the gardenia can grow more densely.
