How to care for gardenia in summer? Detailed care methods

1. Temperature

As we said above, it likes a warm environment. Specifically, the range is 18°C to 22°C. In summer, the temperature in some regions will inevitably be higher than this range. So, to ensure the plant's normal growth and development as well as flowering, appropriate cooling measures must be taken when the temperature is very high. For example, place it indoors, ventilate it in a timely manner, and so on.

2. Water

Because its water demand is high at this time, the amount and frequency of watering must also be increased accordingly. If evaporation is fast, then you can water once or twice a day. However, if ventilation is not very good and evaporation is not fast, then you can water once every two days. Pay attention to the timing of watering: water in the morning and evening, and never water at noon. Air humidity also needs attention. Usually, you can spray some water into the air, or sprinkle some water on the leaves.

3. Light

This plant naturally does not like strong light. In summer, the light is sometimes very strong, and at this time it must be shaded appropriately. Otherwise, the plant may become wilted. Placing it in a place with scattered light can meet its needs. Note that direct sunlight must never shine on it.

4. Fertilizer

At this time it is in its growth period, and the amount of fertilizer needed is relatively large. In principle, fertilizer can be applied once every ten days to promote its growth. However, since it is summer, we also have to consider the temperature factor: do not apply fertilizer when the temperature is high. Specifically, when the temperature is above 35°C, fertilization can be stopped.
