Basin soil selection

Gardenia bonsai is best to choose glazed pottery pots, small pots for small seedlings, and gradually replace them with large pots. When the width of the plant is twice the diameter of the flowerpot, a big pot should be changed.

Prepare soil

Gardenia likes acidic soil, and the pH value of the soil is controlled at 5 to 6. Humus soil or weathered pond soil is usually used. Iron-deficient or alkali-containing soil is not suitable for planting.

plant

Generally planted in March-April, cut off some branches and leaves to reduce water evaporation.

Zhengzi modeling

process

Handle the prepared branches, climb the thick branches and tie them tightly with brown silk, leaving the thinner branches to be pruned. The whole attitude modeling can also be carried out after flowering or dormancy, which will not have any influence on the growth of plants.

tree form

Gardenia can be made into curved dry type, inclined dry type, straight dry type and cliff dry type. There are few materials and limited space at home, so it is common to watch small and medium-sized bonsai.

Maintenance management place

Gardenia likes light, but it can grow in the shade, but its branches are slender and there are few flowers. Therefore, except for proper shading and dormancy in July and August, normal maintenance in the sun at other times can ensure lush foliage.

water

The growth of gardenia needs a lot of water. The soil in the basin should be wet and not dry, but there should be no water in the basin. When it is hot in summer, besides watering, we should often spray water on leaves and the ground, or put bonsai beside the pool to increase the air humidity.

Fertilize soil or land

From April, pancake fertilizer or manure water was applied once every 65,438+05 days, and stopped after beginning of autumn. If fertilization is continued after autumn, branches will grow wildly, which will make them vulnerable to freezing injury in winter. When the tobacco leaves turn Huang Shi during the curing process, a small amount of ferrous sulfate can be added to the fertilizer.

"A flower is divided into six places, and ten leaves are heavy tables; Jade is pure and innocent, and gold is full. " This is the description of gardenia by the ancients. I believe that as long as you plant it patiently and carefully, you will definitely see its beauty.
