Give a gardenia a spoonful of nutrient solution, and its fragrance is enchanting as it blooms 100 flowers

Summer is here, and many flower lovers' potted plants are not growing well because of the high temperatures. Gardenias in particular, which prefer acidic soil, tend to look droopy as soon as summer arrives and refuse to bloom. Today, the editor will teach you a little trick that is super useful for growing gardenias.

Since gardenias like acidic soil, and summer temperatures can easily make the soil acidity unsuitable for them, how can we increase soil acidity? See below: summer is here, and many flower lovers enjoy eating watermelon, which is refreshing and tasty. So flower lovers should take note of the leftover watermelon rind - don't throw it in the trash can; we can collect it to grow flowers.

Watermelon rind itself is acidic. We can cut the watermelon rind into small pieces, put them in a clean bottle, add an appropriate amount of water and let it soak. Generally, after about 10 days, when the water starts to change color, we can use it to water gardenias. If the gardenia is not in its growing season, we can appropriately dilute it with water before watering, so there is no worry about burning the roots.

The nutrient solution made from watermelon rind can not only improve soil acidity, but also contains potassium, calcium and some other trace elements. This water is especially effective for growing gardenias, and the flowers grown are big and fragrant. Generally, using it once every 10 days is enough. Gardenias prefer a moist environment; during the growing season, just keep the soil moist. When watering, be sure to water thoroughly rather than letting it leak out.

Gardenias prefer light, so you must provide plenty of light for them to bloom large. However, in summer, be careful to shade them, otherwise the leaves will be scorched. Gardenias sprout new shoots very vigorously, so we can prune them regularly, which improves ventilation and concentrates nutrients.
