YANG HUA DA QUAN

1

Overwatering causes yellow leaves

Many flower lovers, after just getting a gardenia, because they care for it too much, habitually

water it multiple times

, causing

waterlogged soil

, which hinders the normal respiration of the roots.

Solution:

1. Place it in a cool, ventilated spot so the water in the potting soil evaporates as quickly as possible.

2. If root rot is caused by overwatering, then you need to repot it and replace the soil.

Improper fertilizing causes yellow leaves

1. Iron deficiency

Soil

lacking iron will

cause the plant

chlorosis

, mainly showing on newly sprouted leaves,

the leaf surface turns yellow or white-yellow

, and in severe cases, the leaf veins also turn yellow.

Solution:

Ferrous sulfate

Dilute with water at a ratio of 1:200~300, then spray it on the leaf surface, spraying once every 10-15 days, for 2-3 consecutive times. When the gardenia is disease-free, you can spray once every one to two months to prevent chlorosis.

2. Nitrogen deficiency

A lack of nitrogen will cause the gardenia's

leaves to turn pure yellow

, and the new leaves to be thin and small.

Solution:

Water once a week with fully rotted

cake fertilizer water,

or a 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, for two to three consecutive times, to supplement nutrients.

3

Soil compaction causes yellow leaves

Soil compaction, poor air permeability,

soil salinization,

and the plant roots' ability to absorb water and nutrients declines.

Solution:

1、

Replace the soil

, choose loose and fertile

acidic soil

, and loosen the soil frequently.

2. When watering normally, you can add a little

white vinegar

to prevent salinization.

What should you do if the gardenia does not bloom?

YANG HUA DA QUAN

1

Not pruning in winter causes no blooming

Stray branches

will compete for nutrients when they grow in spring, and stray branches very easily grow wildly, affecting the plant's photosynthesis, which is not good for the formation of flower buds, let alone blooming!

Solution:

In

winter

, prune the gardenia; cutting off stray branches not only helps form flower buds the next year, but also makes the gardenia look more beautiful overall.

2

Excess water and fertilizer cause no blooming

Excess water and fertilizer easily causes the plant to

grow leggy

, and the nutrients needed for flower bud growth are taken away, which is not good for blooming.

Solution:

1、

Control the amount of water

, and do not use high-concentration nitrogen fertilizer.

2. During the flower bud differentiation stage, pay attention to applying more

phosphorus and potassium fertilizer

-rich flower fertilizer, such as

potassium dihydrogen phosphate or potassium sulfate,

to promote flower bud formation.

3

Unsuitable light causes no blooming

Gardenia blooming requires

sufficient light

, but strong light should be avoided; insufficient light will be bad for blooming.

Solution:

1. Place the gardenia on

a balcony with plenty of sunlight

to receive light.

2. Pay special attention in summer at noon when the light is strong, and shade the gardenia.
