Planting Passion Fruit can be sown, in spring, the seeds are soaked in water for a day, and then put in the soil and covered with soil. You can also cut strong cuttings from fruit trees, disinfect them and cut them into soil. Or buy the saplings that grow well directly, and plant them after choosing the planting land. At the beginning of planting, generally watering once is OK, do not water a lot.

1. Trim properly

When the trunk of gardenia grows to about 20 centimeters high, it should be topped in time, leaving only three or four branches, so that nutrition can be concentrated as much as possible.This can promote branching and make the plant more full after growing up.And we should always cut off those branches that grow too fast and too dense.Every year, after the flowers fade, the weak branches should be cut off and the long branches should be cut off.It should be noted that the top of the branch can not be cut short in spring, otherwise it will be difficult to blossom in that year.

2. Appropriate illumination

Appropriate light can make the plant synthesize enough nutrients, so that its own trunk grows taller and thicker.To ensure that plants have 60% of the light every day, especially in the morning and evening, let them see more sunshine, but pay attention to avoid strong light exposure.

3. Soil suitability

The soil for cultivating gardenia is also very important. The soil must be loose, fertile and nutrient-rich weak acid soil, which is beneficial for the plant to absorb nutrients and promote its own growth.It can be prepared with humus soil and mixed with some decomposed organic fertilizer to improve the nutrient content of the soil.

4. Timely fertilization

Gardenia likes fertilizer, so that it can grow tall and thick without adequate nutrient supply.When planting, some decomposed cake fertilizer can be applied as base fertilizer.In its growth period, you can apply a little more nitrogen fertilizer, but not only nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise it will lead to excessive growth.According to its growth situation, some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied to ensure the balance of nutrients.

5. Moisture suitable

Gardenia likes to be wet. When the pot soil is dry, water should be added in time, and water can be sprayed on the branches and leaves of the plant to improve the humidity of the surrounding environment, so that the plant has enough water supply to grow robustly.
