Prevention and treatment methods for the falling of gardenia buds
Let me share some experiences about the woody flower gardenia, the prevention and treatment methods for the falling of gardenia buds, let's learn about it together.
If the management of gardenia buds is improper, it is easy to cause the phenomenon of bud drop. The causes and preventive measures are as follows:
One, gardenia likes moisture, but if there is too much water in pot cultivation, it will cause root hypoxia and asphyxiation, resulting in bud drop or even yellow leaves in the aboveground part. Therefore, after the roots show buds, it is necessary to control watering appropriately, and water only when the surface soil is dry. If bud drop has already occurred due to excessive water, stop watering immediately, raise the pot, loosen the soil in the pot, and quickly dissipate moisture. After the pot soil is completely dry, first water a few times with a small amount of water to moisten, and then increase the water volume while keeping the leaf surface moist.
Two, the roots do not require heavy fertilization. Before the buds appear, you can apply two phosphorus and potassium-rich liquid fertilizers. After the buds appear, stop applying fertilizers. If the fertilizer is insufficient, the buds will grow slowly, and only fully decomposed and dilute liquid fertilizers can be applied. Never use raw or concentrated fertilizers to prevent root damage and bud drop. If bud drop has occurred due to fertilization, immediately change the pot soil and place the pot in a shaded area to promote new root growth. Timely treatment can save the plant from dying, but the number of flowers will be significantly reduced, and the plant growth will also be affected.
Three, bud drop caused by diseases and pests. Gardenia can suffer from yellowing due to iron deficiency, leaf spot disease caused by fungal parasitism, and bud drop due to damage from red spiders and scale insects, which can all lead to malnutrition in the plant and cause bud drop. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent and treat diseases and pests in time before and after gardenia buds appear.
