Cultivation of Gardenia
Do you know these? Here are some small experiences in maintaining green plants for the cultivation of gardenias, followed by a comprehensive introduction.
Gardenia is an excellent flower category for cut flowers and ornamental flowers. Let's learn about the cultivation of gardenias.
1. -- Outdoor Cultivation of Gardenia --
Gardenia is adaptable, with relatively relaxed cultivation and management, and it is easy to succeed. It is suitable to cultivate in sunny but not directly exposed to sunlight, and the soil should be fertile, loose, well-drained acidic or slightly acidic. The technical requirements for land preparation, ridging, and applying base fertilizer are the same as those for other flowers.
The spacing between plants depends on the purpose of cultivating gardenias. Generally, for cut flowers and public场所 ornamental use, the planting pit should be about 50cm deep and wide, and it is best to plant during the dormant period. If you need to plant during the growing period, it is best to carry a soil ball to ensure survival.
After planting, water promptly and maintain a higher humidity of air and soil, but do not waterlog to avoid root rot. Before budding and flowering, it is necessary to strengthen fertilization and water management, adhering to the principle of applying thin and frequent applications.
Shaping and pruning of gardenias are often done in early spring. After each new shoot, pinching is necessary, allowing one branch to produce three branches, which forms a crown quickly and results in more flowering branches. At the same time, overgrown inner branches should be pruned. When each season's flowers are about to wither, remove the残花 promptly to benefit the differentiation of the next season's flower buds, resulting in more and better flowers.
2. -- Pot Cultivation of Gardenia --
The cultivation soil for potted gardenias is usually made up of 5 parts garden soil, 3 parts decomposed manure, and 2 parts sand, and a little sulfur powder can be added, or using decomposed leaf soil from mountain forests is even better. In most parts of Guizhou Province, pots or pot changes are made before germination in spring, generally every 2-3 years, and base fertilizer should be added when changing pots.
The management of potted gardenias is basically the same as that of ground cultivation. Before the旺盛 period of growth and flowering, fertilizing can be done every 7-10 days. In the morning and evening, spray the leaves and ground with clean water to increase the humidity of the potted area.
In the late autumn and early spring, growth is slow, and fertilizing can be done every 2-3 weeks. After rainfall, remove the accumulated water in the pot promptly. Shaping and pruning are the same as in outdoor cultivation.
After entering winter, let the gardenia be cold for a month to go through dormancy, then move it indoors, and use methods such as increasing temperature and supplementary lighting to maintain the room temperature above 18℃, which can promote the flowering of gardenias in winter and spring. They can be widely used as materials for various bouquets. The above is about the cultivation of gardenias.
