1. Improper watering
In the process of growing gardenias, if you water too much, it can easily cause the gardenia leaves to turn yellow and become limp. Long-term waterlogging in the pot can even cause the roots to rot and the plant to die. Too little watering can also lead to limp leaves. Everyone should decide whether to water based on the condition of the soil. If the soil of the gardenia starts to turn slightly white, it indicates a lack of water. You can adopt the method of watering thoroughly once, and water every 3-5 days on average.
2. Improper fertilizing
Fertilizer is crucial for the growth of gardenias. If you fertilize gardenias frequently, their leaves will gradually turn yellow-brown and then wither and become limp. If there is too little fertilizer, the plant will not get enough nutrients, leading to limp leaves. If you over-fertilize, you should rinse the soil to let the fertilizer flow out quickly. If there is too little fertilizer, just water with cake fertilizer diluted in water.
3. Improper lighting
Everyone knows that gardenias are a type of sun-loving flowers. If kept in a dark corner for a long time, their leaves will become limp. Without photosynthesis, gardenias cannot grow normally. However, too much sunlight can also burn the leaves. In spring and autumn, you can place gardenias outdoors for about 8 hours of sunlight each day. In winter and summer, move the gardenias to a place with scattered light.
4. Improper temperature
A temperature between 16-28 degrees Celsius is more suitable for the growth of gardenias. If kept in a low-temperature environment for a long time, the leaves will freeze and become limp. High temperatures can also make the growth worse. When the temperature is low, be sure to keep the plant warm. In high summer temperatures, spray water on the gardenias to cool them down.
