Gardenias are a favorite flower for many, suitable for both potting and ground planting. They thrive on balconies and in gardens, with lush green leaves and a vibrant, evergreen appearance. They are heat and cold resistant, and when they bloom, their white flowers emit a delicate fragrance that is refreshing and uplifting.
Some friends may find that their gardenias, which were vigorous and full of vitality when first purchased, start to drop flower buds or develop yellow leaves after a while. What could be the reason? Some gardenias may produce very few flowers or flower buds, making blooming difficult. What is the cause of this?
Firstly, potted gardenias require sufficient fertilizer.
When growing gardenias at home, especially potted ones, it is important to fertilize them, especially during the blooming period. Gardenias need a lot of nutrients, especially when developing flower buds and differentiating flower buds. Sufficient nutrients must be supplied to maintain normal growth and blooming. If the potting soil is poor or lacks nutrients, or if the plant is too large for the pot, the insufficient nutrients will result in a weak plant.
Sometimes, even if flower buds appear, insufficient nutrient supply can cause them to fall off, leaving no flowers to bloom. Only with fertile soil and adequate nutrients, supplemented with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, can the plant grow stronger and more lush, with vibrant leaves, numerous flower buds, and a successful bloom that is abundant and beautiful.
Secondly, for gardenia care, moderate sunlight is required.
In June, which is the peak blooming season for gardenias, there are almost new flower buds blooming every day. However, by June, temperatures are high, and in some places, they exceed 30 degrees Celsius with strong sunlight. For potted gardenias, whether large-leafed or small-leafed, they should not be exposed to the intense sun as they were in spring.
For potted gardenias, it's best to keep them in a semi-shaded area in June and July. They need some sunlight but not direct exposure. This keeps the leaves green and attractive, bright and lustrous, without turning yellow.
Thirdly, watering gardenias should be moderate and based on specific conditions.
Watering gardenias is very important. In June, with high temperatures and rapid water evaporation, it is necessary to water promptly. Basically, water them every day when it doesn't rain, but do not let the potting soil become waterlogged, as prolonged积水 can also cause flower bud drop.
Also, remove the flowers of the potted gardenias after they have bloomed to avoid affecting their appearance or depleting the plant's nutrients. By following these three points in June, gardenias will not drop flower buds and may even bloom again.
