How should we fertilize Gardenia in summer? This is a skill that many flower friends don't understand. Let's first understand the growth habits of Gardenia. It is a plant that absorbs large amounts of fertilizer and water. Among all the plants planted in our family, it can definitely absorb fertilizer and water in the top three. Therefore, it is also its growth season and flowering season in summer. We don't stop fertilizing it.

We keep fertilizing it all summer, so what kind of fertilizer should we choose? In summer, compound fertilizer is generally not selected for family potted gardenia. It is recommended to choose plant nutrient solution. What is the advantage of plant nutrient solution over ordinary solid fertilizer? Plant nutrient solution is a kind of liquid fertilizer, which absorbs quickly. It does not need solid fertilizer to be absorbed by it after it is converted into liquid fertilizer, which eliminates this process. It not only contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also contains a large number of elements and trace elements, which can not only meet the growth of gardenia, but also enhance the ability of disease resistance, and the effect is very good.

Before fertilization, we should try our best to clean up the weeds when we see them, so as to avoid the overgrowth of these weeds and the capture of nutrients after fertilization. Pour clean water according to the dilution ratio of plant nutrient solution, and we can pour it directly into the flowerpot. If the flowerpot is large, we can pour it through, and if the flowerpot is small, we can pour less. When fertilizing water, we should pour it slowly to make it more saturated with the soil. If we pour it too fast, it will all flow away at once. We should pour it slowly to let the soil absorb it slowly.

In the growing season of gardenia, we should apply plant nutrient solution to Gardenia every other week, that is, 7 days, to meet its rapid growth needs, which is very important for gardenia. Gardenia in summer, we should remember to apply fertilizer and water frequently, and we can't let it lack water.
