If you want Gardenia to have long bracts, you should first use a suitable substrate, which should be acidic and be replaced regularly. Watering should be scientific. After the surface is dry, replenish water in time. Apply fertilizer appropriately, once a week, and use potassium dihydrogen phosphate during flowering. The light must be sufficient to keep it out of the shadows. It is also necessary to trim properly, especially for topping.

1. Suitable matrix

Choosing the right matrix at first is helpful for the formation of flower bud later. In addition to the basic requirements of air permeability, looseness and nutrition, it is also required to be slightly acidic. It can be made up of rotten leaf soil, peat soil and sawdust. At the same time, the roots should be pruned.

2. Water reasonably

If you want to form a flower bud, you can't do without the support of water. Especially from April to September, the basin soil should be kept moist. Once the soil on the surface is found to be dry, it is necessary to supplement water in time. We should also pay attention to the water used, especially in the north, because the water is generally alkaline, so it can be mixed with some other substances for regulation, such as citric acid and so on.

3. Apply fertilizer properly.

It likes to fertilize itself and needs more nutrients to form flower buds. Generally speaking, we need to use fat water once a week. In the flowering stage, potassium dihydrogen phosphate needs to be used once or twice. However, more than 35 degrees can no longer fertilize

4. Enough light

If you want to form a flower bud, you need to sun it more. For a long time in the dark place, there will be very few flower buds. If you are indoors, you can get it to the outside.

5. Trim in time

In particular, topping can promote branch germination and flower bud formation. Moreover, pruning of diseased branches and dead branches.
