How do you grow gardenia so it won't die? Master four key points to keep it thriving

As a plant native to China, the gardenia is very common here, and it can be seen in most cities. The flowers of this plant are very appealing; they not only have a very strong fragrance, but their pure white color is also very popular. But do you know how this plant should be grown?

1. Soil selection and mixing

This plant really likes soil that is rich in humus, because this kind of soil can provide it with more nutrients. So when mixing soil, friends can add a little more of this type of soil, such as soil dug up from the woods, and then add some coconut coir and peat. As for sand, add only a little.

2. Water supply

Although this plant really likes a water-rich environment, using only plain water is not enough. In daily care, friends can save the water left over from washing rice, let it ferment for a few days, and then pour it into the flowerpot, or the water from changing an aquarium can also be used. If there is rainwater, of course that is even better.

3. Choosing the planting location

This plant cannot survive for long in fierce sunlight, because that puts a great burden on its leaves. So if friends want to plant it in the ground, they should choose a place with something providing shade, such as under a tree. If it is planted in a pot, the pot should be placed in a corridor or indoors.

4. Prune frequently

Friends should remember to prune its branches, especially around March, so that its branches will not become overcrowded and it can grow faster.

In short, this plant is fairly easy to keep alive, but friends still need to check on it more often in daily care.
