Today's experience sharing: The reasons for the non-flowering of large-leaf gardenia and the causes of the unopened flower buds of gardenia in the field of green plants and flowers. Next, the editor of the website will introduce the content to the netizens.
Why doesn't the gardenia bought home flower after several years? Gardenia is actually very easy to bloom, and it can even bloom twice a year, in spring and late autumn. If your gardenia doesn't bloom after being cultivated for several years, you should look for the reason in your maintenance method.
The gardenia is growing well, but it doesn't bloom. The main reason is improper fertilization. If you want gardenia to bloom, you must choose the right fertilizer. To promote flowering, you must supplement with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Only when the plant has sufficient phosphorus can it fully differentiate flower buds and bloom. However, we have been using nitrogen-based fertilizers for a long time. This is what we call nitrogen fertilizer. Long-term use of nitrogen fertilizer will only cause its branches to grow wildly, but no flower buds will appear. This point must be taken care of, and even if you use compound fertilizer directly, it can produce flower buds and bloom. However, long-term use of nitrogen fertilizer will lead to non-flowering.
Another important point is that for gardenia to bloom, the branches must be sufficiently aged, which requires us to prune it regularly in late autumn. Near the end of autumn, keep its branches in the aged areas. Trim the overgrown and excessively long branches. Remove all the dense inner branches and inner cavity branches. Then, supplement with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. By the next spring, new buds will naturally appear and produce flower buds to bloom.
When growing gardenia, make sure it gets plenty of sunlight. It must be exposed to sufficient sunlight all year round. Even in summer, as long as watering and fertilizing are kept up, and it is not shaded, it can still grow normally. Insufficient sunlight will cause the branches to grow excessively, the leaves to be light in color and large, and may not bloom. Sufficient sunlight is also a necessary condition for flowering.
