The potting of Gardenia needs to select the pot and soil. It is suggested to choose ceramic soil for flowerpot and weak acid soil for loose and better drainage. Allow it to receive at least eight hours of light a day and water it two or three times a week. In the flowering period, fertilize twice or three times a month, and reduce fertilizing in autumn and winter.

I. select basin soil

The most important thing for cultivating Gardenia in pot is to select pot soil, because the root of gardenia is meat, which is sensitive to pot soil. Ceramic material is the best choice for basin selection, because the basin of this material has good water permeability and good air permeability, so the basin is the most suitable meat root system. In addition to the material, the size of the basin depends on the volume of the root, to ensure that the root system can be laid down and meet the growth space of Gardenia in the next year. Because gardenia is an acid plant, acid soil is more suitable for its growth. In addition to ensuring the soil quality, but also to ensure that the drainage performance and porosity of the soil are good, so that the basin soil is selected.

2. Light

Gardenia is a sun loving plant. This plant receives at least eight hours of natural light every day, so it can carry out normal photosynthesis. Because of its delicate branches and leaves, it should be shaded when the sun is big at noon. Winter day is short, can move it to balcony window wait for a place, satisfy its illumination condition to the greatest extent.

3. Water

Gardenia likes to be wet rather than dry, so it is necessary to ensure that the water in the environment and soil is sufficient. Water it twice or three times a week, not too much each time, so as to avoid water accumulation in the basin. Too much water in the basin will lead to its rotten roots. Secondly, we need to spray water on its branches and leaves every morning and night to keep them moist.

IV. fertilization

In its flowering and growth period, there is a great demand for nutrients, so it should be ensured that it can be fertilized twice or three times a month, and the amount of fertilizing should refer to the instructions. In autumn and winter, its demand for nutrients is not so great. Once a month
