The flowers of gardenias have a very strong fragrance and are loved by many. However, large plants bought from the market are often difficult to care for and may turn yellow. It's better to prune the branches and root them again step by step, which is suitable for your soil and environment. Once they bloom, you will feel a great sense of accomplishment.
There are generally two methods for rooting gardenia cuttings, one is using water, and the other is using soil. Therefore, rooting gardenias is very simple and the rooting process is also very fast.
We find a piece of foam, make a hole the same size as the stem on the foam, and then put the stem through the foam, leaving about two centimeters exposed. Keep the branches of the gardenia about ten centimeters long, retain the upper leaves, cut a slanting cut at the bottom, place the foam on the water to let it float, with the bottom part of the stem in the water. You can add a few drops of root-promoting liquid to the water. After floating for about ten days, it can root. Change the water every two to three days, adding root-promoting liquid each time, which speeds up the rooting process. When the roots grow to about two centimeters long and there are more of them, you can then transfer them to a new pot with soil.
The second method is to use soil for rooting. Rooting gardenias is very easy, and there are a few points to note when using soil. The soil must be disinfected. The best soil to use is one that is loose and has good water permeability. Then, insert the pruned branches into the bottom of the soil, leaving a slanting cut on the branches and keeping either two or one leaf. Soak the branches in root-promoting liquid for one to two hours before planting, then water them immediately after planting. Try to add more fungicides like myclobutanil during the first watering to prevent fungal infections in the soil, which can cause blackening and rotting of the wounds. Then, place it in a cool, well-ventilated area with some scattered sunlight. Water it promptly when the surface of the soil dries, and spray the leaves with water three times a day (morning, noon, and evening) to keep the plant from wilting. If all goes well, the roots should grow out in about ten days, and once the roots are well-developed, you can plant it in new potting soil.
Rooting gardenias is very simple, and even beginners can handle these two methods with a high survival rate. If you don't know how to root, you can try the two methods mentioned by Xiaoqi, both of which have a high survival rate. Let you become a gardening master instantly, turning one plant into a hundred!
