Just bought a gardenia and its leaves are turning yellow? A few tricks to make the leaves lush green and the blooms big and fragrant

Many flower lovers find that a gardenia they just bought from the flower shop turns yellow and drops its leaves within a few days, and some even wilt severely. Not only does it fail to bloom, but the leaves also turn yellow and fall off. At this point they are at a complete loss. Today let's analyze

1. The leaves at the bottom aging and dropping off is normal

，

Because some flower lovers, when buying a gardenia, often bring it home right after repotting it, and if it has only been a few days since repotting. After repotting, the roots get damaged and this situation easily occurs. If you grow it outdoors, the air circulation is very good. You can mist it every morning and evening. Letting the leaves absorb water will reduce this yellowing of the leaves.

2. If it has already been more than a month since you potted it.

This kind of yellowing is caused by insufficient nutrient supply. Because many flower lovers plant directly with garden soil, and garden soil has limited nutrients. Now the roots have grown well, and new leaves have emerged. I suggest you fertilize it. This time just use a mixed-element fertilizer for it. In about ten days or more, the yellowing can effectively stop.

Yellow leaves appear just after you buy a gardenia. Yellow leaves appear whether you repot it or not. Yellow leaves are not scary. What is scary is that you do not know how to prevent and control them, and then you use the wrong medicine and the wrong fertilizer. For a gardenia just after repotting, its roots are bound to be damaged. At this time, try not to fertilize it. If you fertilize it before the roots have grown, and the fertilizer concentration is a bit too high, it will easily burn its roots. It will only do the opposite of what you want. The main goal now is to nourish the roots, to let the roots grow first. The potting soil contains a certain amount of fertilizer. It is enough to support its roots until they grow well. Once the roots have grown well, you can supplement fertilizer for it.

Also, the gardenia is a flower from the south. The sign of iron-deficiency yellowing is yellow leaf veins, with the other parts green; leaf veins green, with the other parts yellow. This is a lack of fertilizer, not a lack of iron. For a gardenia just potted, the roots have not grown well, so do not blindly use ferrous sulfate on it. After using ferrous sulfate, it will only cling to its poorly grown roots. It will prevent the roots from absorbing nutrients and will do no good. Newly changed soil contains a certain amount of iron. In a short time, iron-deficiency yellowing will not appear, so there is no need to worry about it. Definitely do not use it!

For a plant just repotted, the first thing to do is to let it recover. Mist it every day, put it in a place with scattered light, and keep it ventilated. Do not let the potting soil lack water. When you see it growing normally, that proves its roots have started to grow. After a period of time, when the leaves grow substantially. That proves its roots have grown well. Then you can fertilize it, water it, and care for it normally.
