Newly bought gardenia has yellow leaves and isn't growing? Let me teach you a few tricks, and in a few days the yellow leaves will vanish and it will burst with blooms

Many friends who love gardenias easily run into various problems during care. For example, after a gardening friend's gardenia was bought, divided and repotted, it stayed green but simply would not sprout new buds or grow. Let's analyze this today

The gardening friend's gardenia, after being divided and repotted, has green branches but does not sprout new buds. This may be because a newly divided and repotted gardenia has a recovery period, since dividing and repotting will certainly damage part of the root system

However, as long as the branches are green, it means part of the root system is fine and still absorbing nutrients, keeping the stems green. But it has many roots that have not yet recovered well. After they recover, it will first ensure the growth of the gardenia plant, and only then will it sprout new buds

Because the gardenia has relatively many leaves and the upper part is quite lush, it also consumes a lot of nutrients. If the root system has not recovered well, it naturally will not grow new leaves

It is now the hot summer season. If the temperature is too high, the gardenia's growth will be affected to some extent. It grows slowly, and naturally the speed of sprouting new buds is also slow

Now put it in a ventilated place with scattered light. Do not let it receive too much light for now; let it recover first. Because it is still in the recovery period, do not water it too much for now

Just keep its potting soil in a warm and moist state. You can spray water on its leaves to increase air humidity. At this time, do not rush to fertilize. Its root system has not grown well, and fertilizing can only backfire

As for light, do not give it too strong light for now. Just let it get morning and evening light every day

When the new buds show obvious growth, then take it out and put it in a place with relatively ample light, then water and fertilize generously. If the temperature is suitable, the gardenia will grow very fast in this season

Small-leaf gardenias are in their flowering season right now, but large-leaf gardenias finish flowering in spring and generally bloom once more in autumn. As long as the plant is cared for well, then any gardenia will bloom all over the pot
