Gardenia likes water or dry
As a common aromatic shrub in the courtyard, the watering and maintenance of gardenia directly affects its flowering quality. Many novices to horticulture are often confused by the maintenance problem of "whether gardenia likes water or dry." This article will systematically explain watering frequency control and nutrient solution dispensing skills through scientific analysis combined with picture demonstrations. Analysis of water demand characteristics of gardenia gardenia and characteristics of water-loving plants Gardenia is native to subtropical humid areas, and its developed superficial root systems are obviously hydrophilic. The soil water content needs to be maintained in the range of 40-60%. When the surface soil dries to 3 cm, water needs to be replenished in time. Lack of water can cause typical symptoms such as curling leaves and falling buds. Guidelines for watering cycles for the four seasons: Water thoroughly every 3 days during the spring germination period; water once in the morning and evening during the summer high temperature period, combined with foliar spray; reduce it to twice a week in autumn; water every 15 days during the winter dormancy period. It is recommended to use a soil hygrometer to assist in judgment. Gardenia nutrient solution blending technology fermentation rice washing water production collect fresh rice washing water put into plastic barrels, add orange peel to deodorize, sealed fermentation for 15 days. Dilute it at a ratio of 1:50 when used, and apply it twice a month to supplement nitrogen and phosphorus. Water quality improvement plan The alkaline soil and water in the north need to be adjusted by adding rice vinegar (500ml water +5 ml mature vinegar) to maintain the soil pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Beer diluent (1:100) is rich in amino acids and can be sprayed once half a month. Vitamin C water application Dissolve 1 vitamin C effervescent tablet in 2L of water, which can effectively prevent yellow leaf disease. It is especially suitable for adjusting root-fixing water for newly transplanted plants.
By accurately controlling the watering rhythm and scientific nutritional supplements, gardenia can maintain shiny leaves and continue to bloom. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record each watering time and the type of additives, and gradually master personalized maintenance plans.
