Gardenia does not bloom and only grows leaves. It may be that the water and fertilizer are not right, and the nitrogen fertilizer is too much and the plant is too leggy. In winter, too high indoor temperatures promote early germination and make it difficult to form flower buds. If there is insufficient light, it will be difficult for the plants to bloom. Not pruning for a long time is also one of the reasons, consuming too much nutrients. If there is no ventilation for a long time, the plants may be infected with diseases and insect pests, which will affect the growth of flowers.

1. Incorrect water and fertilizer

Normal growth and smooth flowering of gardenias are inseparable from the application of water and fertilizer. If only leaves grow but no flowers bloom, it may be because there is something wrong in this aspect. It may be that too much nitrogen fertilizer makes the plants too leggy, but there is a lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, so it is naturally difficult for flowers to grow. Fertilizer can be applied normally before and after the flowering period, reducing nitrogen and increasing phosphorus and potassium.

2. The temperature is too high

During winter maintenance, if the indoor temperature is too high, it will germinate early, which will make it difficult to form flower buds, make it difficult to grow flower buds, and not bloom. If the indoor temperature is too high, you can put it on the balcony.

3. Incorrect light

Flowering has a lot to do with the supplement of sunlight. If there is insufficient light, it will be difficult for the plants to bloom. Appropriate sunlight can be given according to seasonal changes. In summer, pay attention to shade and avoid sunlight. In winter, supplement sunlight and expose to full sunlight.

4. No pruning

Not pruning for a long time is also one of the reasons. The branches grow long and messy, consuming too much nutrients, which makes it impossible to concentrate nutrients to promote flowering. You can prune regularly to remove some of the branches.

5. Pests and diseases

If there is no ventilation for a long time, the plants may be infected with pests and diseases, which may also affect the growth of flowers. Ventilation can be used for prevention at ordinary times. If pests and diseases are found, spray pesticides in time.
