Transplanting Gardenias after Rooting in Water
The editor provides you with knowledge about the propagation of gardenias, including how to transplant after rooting them in water. Let's share the detailed content next.
The water propagation method is common for gardenias, but many gardening enthusiasts have successfully rooted their cuttings in water only to fail during the transplanting phase due to lack of experience or unsuccessful attempts, leading to failed propagation.
Let me briefly mention the method of water propagating gardenias again. Take a 15 cm long cutting from the current year's growth and place it in a small bucket of purified water with a foam board about 1 cm thick, evenly inserting it into the water, with only 1/3 submerged. Use tap water from home and change the water once a week. It will take about 10 to 12 days for roots to grow about 0.5 to 1 cm long.
The key is the transplanting. It is recommended that gardeners first do a trial planting and wait until the seedlings are in a normal state before transplanting. Use nutrient-rich soil, first placing half of it in the pot, which should be 15 cm in diameter. Gently place the rooted gardenia in the half filled with soil, then carefully cover it with the other half, making sure not to press down with your hands. Then water the pot thoroughly. After planting the gardenia, place it in a shaded area and add water to the saucer. Make sure to replenish the water in the saucer regularly. After about 15 days, you can move it to a place with sunlight (morning and evening), and after another 10 days, it can be exposed to full sunlight.
