Gardenia potted flowers are re cut after failure, and occasionally the old leaves slowly turn yellow

Gardenias are more difficult to raise, it's true, buy a home accidentally drop the leaves, the better ones below the leaves are all gone, only a few pieces are left, almost up and down all the down, it looks dead It's still alive, it looks alive but it's dead. For a gardenia that has lost all its leaves underneath, can we re-cut it to make it sprout and grow leaves? The answer is no!

The growth rate of gardenias has a lot to do with the variety, planting location, planting time, the growth rate of ground planting will be relatively fast, a year can grow taller, the growth rate of potted plants will be worse, especially the gardenia that has been bought for a short time, basically stop growing, and it is difficult to see a piece of new leaves. This is because the newly purchased gardenia has not adapted to the home environment on the one hand, and on the other hand, the root system is damaged, and the most important point is that in order for it to grow full of buds and maintain a good shape, the merchant may use some drugs to control the growth of the gardenia. In this case, re-pruning the gardenia is equivalent to giving a knife to a seriously ill person, and the chance of re-sprouting and growing is very low.

If the gardenia wants to repair the original wound and adapt to the current environment, it needs to carry out photosynthesis normally, the branches and leaves on it are cut off, and the photosynthesis is almost stopped, and the root system has not resumed growth, how can it have the strength to recover? Maybe some flower friends say, "The leaves on it have fallen off, isn't it impossible to photosynthesize?" "Wrong, the leaves have no stems and as long as they are alive, they can also photosynthesize, so that new leaves will slowly germinate and gradually return to growth.

So the gardenia is bare and has no leaves underneath, so it can't be cut at all? It's not like this, if the temperature is right and the gardenia grows well, it can also be cut, how to cut it exactly? My opinion is as follows:

The premise of gardenia re-pruning is that it can grow normally, new shoots and new leaves grow, and no longer yellow leaves and leaves.

Every spring and autumn, that is, the peak season for gardenias, we can cut the branches of gardenias one by one. For example, if your gardenia has three branches, cut one branch short, leave the other two branches, and then cut the other two branches when the leaves of the shortened branch grow and are more lush. The advantage of this is that it has little effect on the growth of the gardenia, and the remaining branches will continue to photosynthesize to feed the new branches to sprout and grow.

When pruning, pay attention to the bud points on the branches, leaving no less than three healthy bud points, and the bud points are preferably facing outward. If there are too few or undesirable bud spots left, the branch germination will be slow after re-pruning.

To sum it up::Do not re-prune newly purchased gardenias, do not re-prune in winter and summer, do not re-prune if the growth is not good, and it is best to re-prune in batches to minimize the risk. So, if you have a newly bought gardenia at home, and the lower leaves are gone, first find a way to raise the upper leaves and let it grow normally.

Wait until the spring when the growth is good, and then consider whether to cut or not. If you cut it drastically now, it is likely that only a pot full of bald piles will remain, and you will never see green leaves and flowers blooming again.

That's because there is a lack of nutrients, and you need to cultivate more so that there will be no problems.

If there is too little watering during the planting of gardenias, the soil will be dry for a long time, and the roots will not absorb enough water** Leaf growth, after the water of the old leaves evaporates, there will be signs of yellowing, and the new leaves will also curl at this time.

It is very likely that the plant is deficient in nutrients, so nitrogen and potassium fertilizers should be supplemented in time to promote the growth of plant rhizomes, moderate watering, keep the soil moist and place it in a ventilated place.

Yes, the cut leaves can reduce transpiration and also ensure the nutrition of the dried flowers.

The leaves can light and act to put his branches into the water.

Depot the flowers, put them in a ventilated and cool shade, and dry the soil ball before putting them back into the pot.

1. Gardenia should not be watered too much during the planting process, and the water in the pot or the potting soil is too wet, which will cause the young leaves to be dull and dull, grow slowly, and the old leaves are yellow-green and gradually wither.

2. Too much light or too much light will cause the leaves of the plant to turn yellow. If you are exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, yellow spots will appear on the leaf surface, but if you put it in a shady environment for a long time, the leaves will fall off because you can't get enough sunlight, so you should make up the light in time.

3. Improper fertilization.

During the planting process of gardenia, the fertilization concentration will cause the plant to turn yellow, the tip of the new leaf will be yellowish-brown, the leaf surface will be uneven and dull, and the old leaves will gradually wither and fall off. At this time, fertilizer needs to be replenished in time.

At present, based on the symptoms alone, it is initially believed that there are the following reasons:

1. Too much watering, the soil is too wet, and the roots are not breathing well. It is recommended to reduce the frequency of watering and reduce the amount of watering.

2. If the soil lacks fertilizer and other elements, especially iron, it is recommended to supplement iron appropriately, and generally choose to water or spray ferrous sulfate solution to improve.

How to raise gardenias?

Understanding its habits is key. Gardenia, also known as gardenia, is an evergreen shrub belonging to the gentian order and Rubiaceae. Prefers warm and sunny environments, hardy, and afraid of standing water. It is required to be a loose and fertile acidic sandy soil, so it is necessary to meet its growing conditions first from the environment.

Gardenia is native to the southern region of China, likes warm climate, and grows vigorously in the humid and hot environment of the south. At the turn of spring and summer, when the flowers bloom, they can exude a rich fragrance, giving people a quiet and fresh experience.

Gardenias are often propagated by cuttings and strips, making them easier to cultivate. In the south, as long as it is kept moist, while in the north, it is necessary to consider the humid and hot environment and control the growth environment, otherwise the survival rate will be low! Water frequently during flowering and midsummer to keep it hydrated.

There is little demand for fertilizer, and it is enough to fertilize once a month.
