1. Selecting seedlings: Gardenia must first choose seedlings if it wants to become an old pile. Strong seedlings can grow well, don't buy those rotten seedlings cheaply. Otherwise, problems will easily occur in the maintenance process, and it is difficult to cultivate old piles. It is best to choose seedlings with large trees and long maintenance time. 2. Soil: Fertile soil should be used to raise gardenia, and humus soil is the best choice, which is very suitable for gardenia to absorb nutrients. If it is ordinary soil, the lack of nutrients will affect the growth of gardenia, and it is not easy to form old piles. 3. Fertilization: Gardenia without fertilization will lead to insufficient plant nutrients. Therefore, in the growing period, we must supplement fertilizer. Fermented fertilizer or cake fertilizer can be used, and fermented fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be applied. Bloom is very rich and tastes very fragrant. 4. Pruning: If you want to cultivate old piles, pruning and shaping are naturally indispensable. Cut off some branches that are too dense and not beautiful enough, leaving only one or two trunks. Nutrients are provided by the trunk. Only when the trunks are strong enough can they grow faster and promote them to grow into beautiful old piles.

Gardenia old pile cultivation method

1. First of all, if you want to make a bunch of old bonsai with gardenia, you should choose a healthy gardenia, cut off the redundant branches and leaves of this gardenia with sterilized scissors, peel it off from the original flowerpot after pruning, and gently shake off the soil carried by the roots. When doing this step, it should be noted that the root system of gardenia must not be harmed. 2. Wash the roots, and then gently rinse the roots with running water. In the process of washing, carefully observe whether the roots have rotten roots or diseased roots, and if so, cut them off. In addition, the roots with pests and diseases should be trimmed in time, and the fibrous roots and fine roots should be kept. 3. After disinfection and sterilization, the cut roots can be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for about 2-3 hours. We need to prepare some slightly acidic sandy clay, humus soil and coarse sand to prepare basin soil. 4. Transplant into a flowerpot. If conditions permit, red jade soil can also be mixed with some garden soil. Put the trimmed plants in a flowerpot. The depth should not be too deep, and the roots should not nest. You can water it once afterwards. Don't turn off the lights at this time. Can be placed in a cool and ventilated place to slow down the seedlings. The last step of plastic surgery is plastic surgery after flowering. Gardenia bonsai can be trimmed in time to make it into different shapes such as straight stem, bent stem, inclined stem and cliff shape. After flowering or during dormancy, we can shape flowers in different ways.

Prune the old pile of gardenias

During the maintenance of the old gardenia pile, the branches and buds growing on the rootstock should be erased at any time to avoid competing for nutrition and affecting the growth of the scion. Because gardenia has many dense branches, recumbent and compact plant shape, it is easy to form with a little pruning. The clumps that affect the tree should be pruned at any time to remove unnecessary buds. Its shape can be made into straight dry type, bent dry type and inclined dry type according to the pile shape of pile materials and the modeling law of bonsai, and can also be processed into exposed root type, cliff-sticking type or stone-sticking type. After artistic treatment, you can get a beautiful bonsai with flowers, leaves, stems, roots and shapes. This is a refreshing and interesting enjoyment.

Matters needing attention in maintenance of gardenia old piles

1. Gardenia doesn't like the light growing environment, especially the autumn tiger. When maintaining, be sure not to put it in a well-lit environment. At noon, it should be properly shaded, and it can be placed in a place where light is scattered indoors. It must be ventilated. Gardenia likes humid environment. When it is hot in summer, water it once in the morning and once in the evening. If the basin soil is relatively dense, it can be watered once every 1-2 days. Spray some fresh water regularly to keep the air moist. Gardenia for bonsai should be turned over every 2-3 years. You can also take root and shape when changing pots. 3. Gardenia likes fertilization, and it can be applied with rotten cake fertilizer in about two weeks. When the temperature is above 35 degrees Celsius, fertilization should be stopped to avoid burning the roots.
