How to manage gardenias in winter
Today's focus is on how to manage gardenias in winter and teach you the correct maintenance of gardenias in the aspects of green plants and flowers. Let's take a look together!
When it's the season of blooming, people go to the flower market and the first thing that catches their eye is gardenias. This is because the flowers of gardenias are very eye-catching, pure and white. Especially now, everywhere there is the sweet fragrance of gardenias and the restlessness of the upcoming. The fragrance is not艳丽, not strong, very healing and comfortable. The gardenias in my house are blooming particularly well now, so I have specially compiled some issues that need attention in maintaining gardenias to share with you.
1. Insufficiently humid environment
Gardenias belong to a humid environment, so when cultivating gardenias, we must provide a good living environment for the flowers. However, in the dry climate of the north, especially when indoor heating is used in winter, gardenias in the house may become dried out.
So if we are raising gardenias in the north, we must fully provide them with a sufficiently humid environment. We can put a layer of plastic bag around the gardenias, which can cause water droplets to form inside the plastic bag, making the gardenias stay in a sufficiently humid state. If all goes well, the leaves of the gardenias will become greener and greener.

2. Potting soil
Usually, the gardenias we buy from the flower market are packaged in plastic pots, so the first thing you should do when you take the gardenias home is to change the pot. However, you will find that the gardenias start to wilt the next day, and they are very close to dying. Some friends can't understand this phenomenon at all, but in my view, it's normal to have such a situation. This is because the timing of changing the potting soil and pot is not mastered.
When we first bring the flowers home, 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 then transfer them to another pot when the flowers have fallen off.
4. Gardenias infested with pests leading to death
Sometimes, when we buy gardenias, we find that the edges of their leaves are yellow and very dry. In this case, we can say that the gardenias bought are mostly infested with pests. How can we determine whether the gardenias we bought have pests? We can observe the leaves of the gardenias. If white spots appear on the leaves, it means that the gardenias have pests. We can also dig into the potting soil of the flowers. If there are many small white balls in the potting soil, it also indicates that the gardenias have pests.
