The best way to water gardenia is to use rainwater. When watering, you can add vinegar or citric acid to increase the soil acidity. The water temperature should be close to the room temperature. Winter should be carried out at noon, spring and summer can be carried out in the morning, when the temperature is high, you can spray water to the same area, but you should pay attention to ventilation after spraying water, and loosen the soil properly the next day after watering.

What water to pour

First of all, it is necessary to make clear what water to pour. Rainwater is the best, and tap water is not used for rainwater. When watering, you can add a little vinegar, or citric acid, which can enhance the acidity of the soil. When watering, the water temperature should also be strictly controlled. The water temperature is close to the room temperature. Do not use very cold water or hot water. When using, put it for a period of time to make the temperature close to the room temperature for reuse.

Exclusive formula

Citric acid: add 0.5g citric acid to a litre of water.

Vinegar: 3 ml vinegar per litre of water.

Orange peel: use fresh orange peel to soak in water. It can be used with slight yellow water.

Rice washing water: it is used at home after rice washing water is fermented. But don't use rice washing water often, just once a month.

Who can have more, but not more acid solution? I don't know if we can use mineral water bottle to measure water, use bottle cap to measure acid solution, a coke bottle cap can hold 4 grams of solution, just compare them.

When to water

Water at noon in winter. The water is best exposed to the sun. The water temperature is suitable. In spring and summer, water in the morning, and then bask in the sun.

Watering method

In spring and summer, water in the morning normally. When the temperature is high, spray water on the leaves after the sun sets, that is, when we go home from work. When spraying, notice that the flow of the sprinkler is bigger, do not spray, and do not spray on the open flowers.

From April to September, water should be dry and wet. Do not water every day to avoid yellowing of plants and yellow leaves. In July and August, the weather is dry, the water evaporates quickly, and the soil is easy to dry. According to the soil conditions, you can water it every day.

Loosen the soil properly on the second day after watering according to the soil conditions. If watering for several days, the soil is still wet and ventilated. Pay attention to the proportion of soil when changing basins in the next year.

Precautions

For the situation that the clay is difficult to be poured through, you can use a flower spray to water it slowly, or use a bottle to pour it for 1-2 minutes until the water seeps out naturally. Or soak the plant in a basin and let the water run in naturally. However, it is not recommended to use soaking basin method for a long time, which will lead to the rise of salt and alkali in the anoxic basin of plants, and flowers are prone to waterlogging and the whole plant will die.
