Water is the source of life for all plants, and it is indispensable. Many families grow potted plants and often need to water them. People may think that watering is not very technical, but in fact, a good watering method can make the plants grow more vigorously. Here we talk about a plant that is quite popular - gardenia. So, how do you water gardenias?
【I. Gardenia Watering Methods】
1. Gardenias have evergreen leaves and fragrant, elegant flowers, with green leaves and white flowers, making them very beautiful and adorable, and a favorite potted ornamental plant. Generally, when watering gardenias, water twice a day in spring and summer, with a gap in between. Sprinkle the leaves with water in the morning and evening.
2. In winter, you should control the watering, only watering when the soil is dry. Excessive water retention can easily lead to root rot and death. Do not water gardenias every day, but water only when the soil is dry and make sure to water thoroughly. The leaves can be frequently sprinkled with water to keep their color more lush and green.
3. Gardenias prefer slightly acidic soil, so to overcome the alkalinity of the soil and water quality, water with alum fertilizer once a week during the growing season to keep the gardenias' leaves lush and green (or mix water with vinegar in a 1:120 ratio to water the plants).

How to water gardenias
1. It is best to water gardenias with rainwater, or use tap water if rainwater is not available. If using hard tap water, let it sit for a while or add some vinegar or orange peel to increase the acidity of the soil. When using water, let it sit for a while to match the room temperature.
2. Using an appropriate amount of beer to water plants can make them grow vigorously, with green leaves and bright flowers. This not only provides the plants with sufficient nutrients but also allows them to absorb them quickly. The specific method is to mix water and beer in a 1:50 ratio and use it evenly.
【III. Gardenia Watering Precautions】
1. When watering gardenias, only water when the soil appears dry and white. Water thoroughly in one go and avoid overwatering or losing too much water. When gardenias have flower buds, excessive water can cause the buds to fall off.
2. When spraying water, make sure the water flow from the喷头 (sprayer) is strong, avoid misting, and do not spray on open flowers. After watering, ensure proper ventilation. For potting soil that is difficult to water thoroughly, use a flower sprayer to water slowly or use a bottle to water a little bit every 1-2 minutes until water naturally seeps out.
