When is the best time to plant gardenias?

Gardenia planting usually takes place in early spring, around the end of March and the beginning of April.

1. Land selection and land preparation: It is advisable to choose sunny slopes and deep sandy loam soil for planting. It can be planted in the corner of the field or interplanted with legumes.

Before planting, the land is fully reclaimed, remove the miscellaneous trees and trees, dig holes according to the plant row spacing of 4 4 feet, the width of the hole is 1 foot square, the depth of the foot, each hole is applied with soil miscellaneous fertilizer, green manure or human and animal manure water is used as base fertilizer, and the soil fertilizer is evenly planted after planting.

2. Planting: Planting should be carried out on cloudy days in March and April, after the seedlings are unearthed, they should be planted in time, do not be exposed to the wind and sun, if the transportation is farther, it is advisable to use yellow mud slurry roots, spray new high-fat film moisturizing. Plant one plant in each hole, cover the soil, compact, and drench water.

3. Field management: After planting, weeding and topdressing in spring and summer every year, human and animal manure, manure, compost, cake fertilizer, etc. can be applied. Before flowering in summer, it is better to apply fertilizer with more phosphorus and potassium content, and fertilization is generally carried out after weeding and loosening the soil.

Spraying flowers at the right time can promote strong buds, hypertrophic petals, bright flower color, rich floral fragrance, and prolonged flowering period.

Gardenia seeds can be sown in spring or autumn, generally in the spring, spring sowing is sown before and after the Qingming Festival, and the sowing time in autumn is relatively clear, generally carried out in August and September.

Domestic gardenias, to master its physiological characteristics, in order to make the leaves, flowers, fruits are beautiful, improve the ornamental value.

1. Acid-loving soil: soil, water and fertilizer contain alkali, which makes the plant unable to absorb iron, and affects the formation of chlorophyll, so that the branches wither, the leaves are scorched, and even die. Use fertile, loose, well-drained acidic soil, such as mixing pine sawdust into the soil, the effect is also very good.

2 like shade: avoid scorching sun exposure, but often some people mistakenly think that gardenias require full shade, so as to cause mistakes in cultivation, in fact, pay attention to cultivating its cool environment at the same time, to maintain 60 light all day, in order to meet the needs of its growth.

3. Moisture-loving: If the air humidity is lower than 70, it will directly affect the differentiation of flower buds and the growth of flower buds, but too much humidity will cause root rot and branch withering, and leaf yellow falling off. In addition to normal watering, the foliage and nearby ground should be sprayed with water frequently to increase the air humidity.

4 Fertilizer: It is advisable to apply ripe soybean cakes, sesame sauce residues, peanut bran and other fertilizers, which can be acidic after fermentation and rotting, but must be applied with thin fertilizer, avoid thick fertilizer, raw fertilizer, and do not apply fertilizer during hibernation. If it has been planted for less than three years, it is important not to apply human feces.

Excessive nitrogen fertilization will result in thick branches, large leaves, and thick green, but no flowering. When phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are deficient, there will also be no flowering or flower buds wilting and falling off.

5 Temperature-loving: the growing period is 18 to 22, the overwintering period is 5 to 10, and below 10 is susceptible to freezing.

6. Timely pruning: Gardenia has strong germination power, easy to overlap branches, dense and unventilated, and nutrients are scattered. When the shape is positive, three main branches should be selected according to the shape of the tree, and other branches that have sprouted from the root tiller should be pruned at any time.

After flowering, the branches should be truncated in time to promote the germination of new branches under the cutting. When the new branches have grown three knots, the topping is carried out to avoid blind growth.

7. Prevent yellowing. There are four: Iron deficiency.

The soil contains too much limestone, alkali, phosphorus, manganese, etc., which will affect the absorption of iron by plants, affect the formation of chlorophyll, make the young leaf veins lose green, spread the whole leaf, and can be applied 1 500 ferrous sulfate water or alum water every 10 days. Magnesium deficiency. Acidic red loam soil and potassium and ammonium are prone to magnesium deficiency, so that the veins of the lower leaves of the plant lose green and yellow, and can be sprayed with 1 to 2 magnesium sulfate solution, but excessive application of magnesium will cause calcium deficiency, and the development of xylem in roots and stems will be stunted.

The potting soil is too wet or too dry. Summer exposure.

Gardenias have a certain ornamental value, so many people choose to raise a pot or two of gardenias at home. So when will the gardenia be transplanted, and do you know the transplanting method and maintenance after transplanting? Let's explain it in detail below.

1. Transplanting time.

Gardenia transplanting is best from March to May, when the climate is warmer, gardenia grows more vigorously, and the survival rate of gardenia after transplanting is higher. It is not advisable to transplant gardenias in the fall, as the gardenias have almost stopped growing in the autumn and transplanting may cause them to die.

Second, transplanting methods.

1.Soil selection.

Choose some loose and fertile soil to ensure that it has good air permeability and drainage.

2.Prune the root system.

Pour out the topsoil in the old pot, and then gently remove the gardenia plant, after taking it out, mainly observe whether the roots are damaged, and prune them in time if they are found to be damaged.

3.Carry out transplanting.

Place the gardenias in a new pot, compact the soil layer and water it to keep the soil moist. Place the transplanted gardenias in a ventilated area and wait for them to acclimatize to the new environment.

3. Post-maintenance.

1.Moisture management.

If you find that the top layer of soil has begun to dry out, it means that you need to water, and you should water thoroughly every time, and you can add some trim foliar fertilizer when watering, so that the soil can be kept moist and replenished with nutrients.

2.Lighting management.

The whole gardenia should not be exposed to sunlight as it can burn the leaves. Usually just put it in a cool place and keep it ventilated.

Its seeds can be sown in the spring or autumn. In the spring, it is generally planted before and after the rain, and in the autumn, it is around the autumn equinox. It can be planted almost all over the country, but its climate and environment are too different, so the specific time should be combined with the local climate and temperature conditions.

1. Choose seeds: When planting, you should choose mature and full, good varieties and relatively high-quality seeds. You can prepare an appropriate amount of water to brush and select, put the seeds in, the high-quality seeds will sink, and the floating ones will not be used as much as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for the seedlings to survive in the later stage.

In addition, it is best to soak it in water before planting and carry out germination treatment.

2. Soil requirements: choose the edge of the field, the mountain, and the corner of the ground when planting, pay attention to the convenience of watering, and the light should be sufficient, so that the seeds can grow well.

3. Carry out sowing: open a sowing furrow of six to seven inches in planting, and the depth of the furrow is about one inch. Mix the seeds evenly with fire ash, then sprinkle them in the sowing furrow and cover them with fine soil.

4. Post-planting maintenance: After the seeds are planted, they should be watered regularly and weeded. Especially at the seedling stage, it is necessary to do a good job of weeding and not to hurt the root system. In addition, it is necessary to fertilize in moderation to supplement nutrients.

Gardenia seeds are sown in spring and autumn, if they are sown in spring before and after Qingming, and in autumn they are sown around the autumn equinox. Before sowing gardenia seeds, soak them for seven or eight hours with a clean water chain, and then take out the soaked gardenia seeds, dry the water on their surface, and then sow them, and generally transplant seedlings 20 days after sowing.

Gardenia sowing time.

Gardenia varietyThere are many varieties of gardenias, the more common ones are water gardenia, yellow gardenia, oval gardenia, narrow-leaved gardenia, spotted leaf gardenia, small-leaved gardenia and other varieties.

Seeding timeGardenia seeds are sown in spring and autumn, in spring they are generally sown around Qingming Festival, and in autumn they are sown around the autumn equinox.

Potted gardenia sowing time.

Potted gardenia seeds can be sown in spring or autumn, and it is generally more suitable for spring with a high germination rate.

Gardenia sowing temperature.

Gardenia seeds germinate best at temperatures of around 20, and this is the most suitable time to sow seeds.

Gardenia sowing method.

Gardenia is sown by opening a small furrow to a depth of about five centimeters, and filling the furrow directly with soil after sowing. In order to moisturize, it is best to put a layer of grass curtain, so that the seedlings will be more neat.

Gardenia seeds germinate.

Gardenia rapid germination method: Before sowing gardenia seeds, soak them in clean water for seven or eight hours, then take out the soaked gardenia seeds and dry the water on their surface before sowing them.

Gardenia seedlings are sown.

Under normal circumstances, the seeds of gardenia can emerge about 20 days after sowing, and they can be transplanted and planted after they emerge.

1. Gardenia can be sown in spring, or in autumn, generally the most suitable time is around August to September every year, but in order to effectively promote germination, choose seeds with full particles as much as possible, and then plant them in a sunny place, and the depth of planting is guaranteed to be about one centimeter.

2. When choosing to plant, be sure to choose some seeds with pure color and full texture, and soak the dug seeds in hot water before sowing, which can effectively promote germination, and the seeds should also be placed in the case of good ventilation.

3. When choosing to plant, choose more fertile soil as much as possible, and then plant, about the depth of sowing is about one inch, which can effectively promote germination, can effectively bring good effects, and is very appreciative at a glance.

4. The flower language of gardenia is eternal love and agreement, and it is a beautiful sustenance. The gist is that this flower begins to give birth to buds in winter, and will not bloom until near the summer solstice, the longer the budding period, the longer the Qingfen, and the leaves of the gardenia tree are also green and not withered in the wind, frost, snow and rain all year round. So, although it seems to bloom inadvertently, it has also experienced long-term efforts and persistence, perhaps the growth habits of gardenia are more in line with this flower language, not only the hope of love, but also the plain, long-lasting, warm and refined appearance, which contains the essence of beautiful, tenacious and mellow life.
