Extended data:

Gardenia buds are formed in April, so in April-May, in addition to cutting off some miscellaneous branches and leaves, we should focus on keeping buds; When flowering in June, the residual flowers should be cut off in time to promote the emergence of new shoots. When the new shoot grows to 2-3 knots, it should be cored 1 time, and some axillary buds should be erased properly.

In August, plants with beautiful tree shape can be obtained by coring the second branch and cultivating the crown. Gardenia requires soil with pH value of 5-6 to grow well in acidic soil. The neutral or alkaline soil in the north should be watered with alum fertilizer or sprayed with ferrous sulfate solution on the leaves.

If the air humidity is lower than 70%, it will directly affect the differentiation and growth of flower buds, but if it is too wet, it will lead to root rot and leaves falling off. In addition to normal watering, the leaves and nearby ground should be sprayed with clear water frequently to appropriately increase the air humidity.
