Potted gardenia is suitable for planting in fertile, well-drained, acidic and light clay loam, and the astigmatism environment is suitable. Summer needs shade. In the growing period, it is necessary to appropriately increase the application of water and nutrients, and apply phosphate fertilizer before flowering to help it bloom better. In early winter, you can cut off the branches with poor growth and the branchlets and side branches around the main branches, and trim the residual flowers after flowering.
