100% success gardenia cutting method

1. Prepare a large drink bottle, a piece of foam board, tape, and scissors.

2. Cut the plastic bottle open, but do not cut all the way through; leave one section uncut. Cut the foam board into a circle, with a diameter a little smaller than the bottle.

3. Take a gardenia cutting, remove some of the leaves near the bottom, then insert it into the foam board.

4. Put water in the bottle, place the foam board and gardenia into the bottle, then close the bottle body and seal it with tape. Put the bottle cap on, and poke two or three small holes in the cap.

5. Put the bottle in a spot with bright indirect light and wait for roots to form. No need to change the water during this time; roots should appear in about less than half a month.

6. After roots grow, don't rush to plant it. Give the young plant time to adjust. Open the upper part of the plastic bottle for ventilation, leave it for 1~2 days, then transplant it into a pot.

Gardenia care secrets

1. Soil acidity and alkalinity

If gardenia leaves turn yellow, it may be that the soil is not acidic enough, or it lacks iron. You can use 0.5 g citric acid plus 2.5 g ferrous sulfate, mixed with 1 liter of clean water, shake well and water the plant, using it 3~4 times a month.

2. Moisture retention

Gardenia likes a humid air environment, so in the evening you can mist the leaves and the area around the pot to raise humidity. In summer, mist in both the morning and evening.

3. Water temperature

When misting or watering gardenia, it is best to use water that has been left in the sun. Normally you can store water in a plastic bucket and leave it on the balcony in the sun; it is also very convenient to use.

That's all for gardenia care tips.
