Why don’t gardenias bloom

Why it doesn’t bloom?

The reasons why the flowering flower does not bloom or blooms sparingly are as follows.

During the growth period of gardenia, too much water and fertilizer will cause the plant to grow elongated and affect the formation of flower buds, resulting in no or very few flowers. Applying too much nitrogen fertilizer will also affect flower bud formation.

When gardenias grow, they don’t like strong light, but they cannot live without it. Too much or too little light will affect the flowering of the flower.

Gardenias prefer slightly acidic soil. The soil in the northern region has a relatively high salt content and is relatively alkaline, which is not suitable for the growth of gardenias. It will cause the plants to turn yellow and affect their flowering.

As gardenias grow, their branches will grow very long and messy, and diseased and dead branches will appear, consuming a lot of nutrients that gardenias need for growth. And if the branches are too tight, the leaves of the gardenia will not be able to carry out photosynthesis, which is not conducive to the growth of the gardenia, which will also cause the gardenia to not bloom.

Last point, when gardenias encounter serious diseases and insect pests, the flower buds of gardenias will be damaged or even fall off.

These are all reasons why gardenias will not bloom.

In winter, gardenias should be maintained in a warm place indoors with better lighting to avoid gardenias from not blooming due to lighting problems. . In addition, before planting gardenias, you can acidify the soil to change the pH of the soil, which is beneficial to the growth of gardenias.

After the gardenia flowers fade, the branches should be shortened in time to promote the germination of new branches.

In addition, except for the strong light at noon from July to August, which requires shade and the dormant period in winter, gardenias generally need to be placed in the sun for maintenance so that they can bloom and luxuriantly bloom.
