When it's time for flowers to bloom, everyone who enters the flower market is first attracted to gardenias. Because the flowers of gardenias are very eye-catching, white and pure. Especially now, everywhere you go, there is the sweet fragrance of gardenias and the restlessness of the approaching summer. This fragrance is not艳, not strong, very healing and comfortable. The gardenias in my home are blooming particularly well right now, so today I have specially compiled some issues to note when growing gardenias to share with everyone.
1. Not enough humidity in the environment
Gardenias belong to a humid environment, so when growing gardenias, we must provide a good living environment for the flowers. However, in the dry climate of the north, especially when indoor heating is on during winter, gardenias can become withered indoors.
Therefore, when growing gardenias in the north, we must ensure that gardenias are provided with a sufficiently humid environment. We can put a layer of plastic bag around the gardenias, which will cause water droplets to form inside the plastic bag, making the gardenias stay in a sufficiently humid environment. If all goes well, the leaves of gardenias will become greener.

2. Potting soil
Usually, the gardenias we buy from the flower market are packaged in plastic pots, so the first thing to do when you bring gardenias home is to change the pot. However, the next day, you may find that the gardenias start to wilt and are close to dying. Some friends may not understand this phenomenon at all, but to me, it's normal. It's because the timing of changing the soil and pot was not right.
When we first bring home the flowers, we should not rush to change the soil and pot, because the flowers also need an adaptation period for a new environment. We must wait until the flowers bought are about to bloom, and only then move them to another pot after the flowers have fallen off.
4. Gardenias die due to pest infestation
Sometimes, when we buy gardenias, we may find that the edges of their leaves are yellow and very dry. In this case, we say that the gardenias bought are mostly infested with pests. How can we determine if the gardenias we bought have pests? We can observe the leaves of the gardenias. If white spots appear on the leaves, the gardenias are definitely infested with pests. We can also dig into the potting soil of the flowers. If there are many white balls in the potting soil, it means that the gardenias are also infested with pests.
