Gardenia skrb

Sjajna tamno zeleno lišće i mirisni mliječno bijelih cvjetova gardenije biljke čine ga neodoljivim biljka rasti. Obično se prodaje u cvatu ili pupoljak, opojni miris potiče nas da ga mora imati, ali biljka gardenija može biti izbirljiv i izazov rasti u zatvorenom prostoru. U stvari, neki ga tretirati kao jednokratnu Postrojenja i bacite ga poslije cvjetanja.

Gardenia cvijet

Gardenia (Cape jasmina) zahtijeva slobodno dobro iscrpljen, kiseli (ph4.5-6.2) tla, zatvoreni sunce svijetli 6-8 sati i pjegav hlad (ujutro sunce) kada se na otvorenom u ljeto. Ona preferira visoke vlažnosti i vlažan no ne mokar tlo. Feed je sa 1 / 2 snage kiseline gnojivo svakih 2-4 tjedna, od ožujka do listopada.
Za zimu care: Pružite cool sjajna lokacija, vlaga i držati podalje od grijanja ventila. Ne oploditi i vode manje dopuštajući vrhu 1-2 inča do suha prije zalijevanja opet.

Blooming: Gardenias zahtijevaju čak i 62-63 F temperatura i visoka vlažnost tijekom pupoljak formacija. Da bi se povećala vlažnost postrojenja mjesto u vodi šljunak pladanj ili blizu ovlaživač zraka. Kada se formiraju pupoljci, pružiti dosljedne cool noći (58-60F) i toplih dana (70-75F). 10-15 stupnja temperaturne razlike je potreban da bi se držati pupoljci od pada off (Bud eksplozija). Otvoren cvijeće treba trajati 3-8 dan i modricu lako kad dotakne.

Orezati nakon cvatnje ciklus je završio, odnosno kada biljka aktivno raste i potreba trim. Ne orezati tijekom zime.
Propagacija: Uzeti 3-4 palac polu-drvenastog tip rezanja od ne-cvjetnice pucati u rano proljeće. Ukloni niže lišće, umočiti u zakorjenjivanje hormona i umetnuti u vlažan treset rezanje, Vermikulit mix. Trebalo bi korijen u 4-6 tjedana.

Rješavanje problema
Gardenias privući veliki broj insekata: lisne uši, blijed bugova, vaga, grinje i crveni pauk thrips. Oni su također osjetljivi na trulež korijena, Bud kap i žuto lišće.

Na jugu i zapadu obalnih područja (zona 7b), polu-tropski gardenias se uzgajaju na otvorenom kao zimzeleno grmlje. Varieties mogu razlikovati u veličini, rasta i cvjetanja navika sezone. 'Misterija' Kalifornija ljubimac dobiva do 8 'visok i proizvodi veliki bračni cvijeće.

    Blooming zahtjevi
    HI-pravedan postaviti tvoj položaj pa to ljubav. Imam Gardenia PLANT IN FLORIDA, ali nije cvatnje, iako je bujna zelena i zdrava. Moja mama ima isti problem s njezinim u Massachusettsu. Što možemo učiniti kako bi poboljšali blještavost U NAŠOJ inače zdrave LOOKING BILJE?

    Gardenia obično cvjetaju jednom godišnje u proljeće do ljeta. Što im je potrebno nekoliko uvjeta za postavljanje cvijeća pupoljci. Cijeli sunce 4-6 sati, visoka vlažnost, kul noći (58-60) i toplih dana (70-75). Cvjetni pupoljci oblik pri temperaturi od 62-63 degreesF u kojem trenutku biljka treba imati visoku vlažnost zraka, pa čak i vlage. Ako je tlo je dopušteno isušivanje ili je previše vlažno, ona će odustati od svojih pupoljci. Fluktuacija na temperaturama kao što je previše toplo, hladno nacrta također će uzrokovati pad pupoljak. Oni su pomalo nervozna. Feed biljka s kiselinom gnojivom (Miracid) od ožujak-listopada kada biljka aktivno raste. Ako se na otvorenom tijekom ljeta ga držati u sjeni parcijalna. Orezati nakon cvatnje biljke (proljeće) kasnije obrezivanje mogu eliminirati sljedeće godine cvijeće. Florida klime bi trebao biti velik za vaše gardenije, dok je misu zahtijevat će malo više truda za održavanje vlage to zahtijeva.

      Uzgoj savjeti
      Izrežite ga natrag tijekom cool sezone i početi se hraniti s trunkom Muracid na galon vode svaki tjedan. Učinite to za 4 mjesec nemojte ga hraniti opet za 8 mjeseci samo vodu. Tijekom hranjenja vrijeme koje će biti postavljen korijenu i postali jači. Za vrijeme hranjenja ne to će se odmarati. Gardenias potrebe za odmor da ostane zdrava i proizvoditi blooms.

    Hladna štete
    Imam pitanje ne komentar. Sam zasadio 3 gardenija grmlja okolo moj prozor uvali prošle god. i mislim da su gotovo mrtvi zbog iznimno hladnom vremenu, imali smo ove zime. Postoji li način mogu spasiti mog Gardenia's? Nisam ih ni vidio cvatu.

    Čekati da vidite koliko hladno štete koje imate. Ako ste se osušio grane izgledaju kao da ne postoji znak života, tamnoljubičasta i provjeriti za novi rast, kada je vrijeme postaje sve toplije. To je najbolje je da pričekate dok proljeće orezati bilo hladno štetu. Oni se kao sjajna, topla i vlažna s uvjetima i iscrpljen, kiselina tlu. Ako i kada ne postoje znakovi života (novo lišće) vodu i oploditi (muracid) u proljeće za poticanje rasta. Gardenias su mraz natječaj i ovisno o različitim Hardy u zonama 9-11.

    Ja živim u Grčkoj i ima samo kupio moj prvi gardenije. Koliko često am JA podrška to vodu i ja bi trebao dati gnojiva sada?

    Ako je biljka u zatvorenom u kontejner, držati tvoj gardenija malo vlažan, ali ne i mokrim (ne dopustite da stoje u vodi) i nemojte ga pustiti venuti. Vi svibanj morati provjeriti svaki dan za zalijevanje, pogotovo kad je vrijeme vruće. Voda pri vrhu palac u tlu je suha. Vi svibanj morati manje često vode u hladnjak zimskih mjeseci. Također dati puno vlage. To Feed s uravnoteženom kiseline gnojivo (Muracid) jednom mjesečno od ožujka do listopada kada biljka aktivno raste. Slijedite upute proizvođača.

    Imam problema sa žutim lišćem. Što trebam učiniti kako bi se biljka?

    Yellowing ostavlja na vašem gardenija može biti znak overwatering, underwatering, previsok pH (iznad 6,5) ili nedostatka željeza. Iron kloroza (interveinal sijeva od lišća) može biti uzrokovan visokim pH nivo. Feed biljka s 1 / 2 gnojiva kiseline snage ili ga dodaj na kelirani željeza u tlu i sprej na listovima. Možete koristiti i čaj voda jednom mjesečno za održavanje niske razine pH (kisele tlo).

    Imam formalni vrt vodoskok s oko 18 bijelih i 18 pup gardenias engleski boxwoods koje su zasađene u lipnju ove godine. Gardenias su vrlo puni sa bujnom zeleno lišće i cvjetali cijelo ljeto. U ovom trenutku vanjski listovi i dalje raste i zdrave zelene ipak duboko u grmlje postoje yellowing lišće, ali se ne otpadanje. Bilo koji sugestija od problema ili lijek ili je ovo normalno?

    Bok Janice
    Neki yellowing lišće može biti normalna ako su niže, starije lišće i ostavlja prema unutrašnjosti postrojenja. Ako su novi listovi yellowing na gardenije, onda bi moglo biti nutrient deficiency (kloroza). Također provjerite pažljivo za insekte zaraze kao što je razmjera i pauk grinja

    Ako imate blijed greške te će ga vidjeti. Još jedan kukac koji napada gardenija i proizvodi ljepljive ostatak je skala koja se ne svibanj biti lako otkriti. Malo bolje pogledate na undersides stabljike i listova za kvrga koja se može isključiti struganje sa prstima. Povećalo stvarno pomaže. Oni su iza sebe ostaviti jasne ljepljivih ostataka na površini lista. Tretman će ovisiti o tome gdje se tvoj biljka raste (u kući ili izvan nje). Možete koristiti malation za liječenje za razmjera, ako je naveden na etiketi. Ona će ubiti insekata u fazi robot, ali ne u ljusci fazi. Svibanj vam je potrebno nekoliko aplikacija. Ne prskajte u zatvorenom prostoru te korištenje mjera opreza prilikom prskanja.

    Ponovo staviti u saksiju gardenije

    Imao sam unutarnji gardenija za sada 2 godine i sam ne siguran ako je potrebno ponovno potting biljke je oko stopalo visok i vrlo zdrava molim savjet

    Ponovo staviti u saksiju svoje gardenija kad korijeni napuni lončić. Te htijenje vidjeti korijenje na tlu površine, kao i izlazak iz dna drenažne rupe. Oni zapravo procvasti kada se malo bolje pot-bound. Da biste omogućili za nove snažan rast, ponovo staviti u saksiju u kontejner 1 inch veća u proljeće. To je vjerojatno spreman za sljedeću veličinu pota.

    Sušenje i kovrčanje lišća

    Prijatelj mi je dao transplantirati zatvoreni gardenija biljka s onim što izgleda kao dvije biljke u jednoj posudi. To je bio zdrav u potrazi za protekle 4 mjeseci, ali nedavno je jedan od tvornice listovi su počeli sušenja i kovrčanje. Mogao jedan od biljaka se korijen vezan i trebam ga povući i pokušati ga presaditi odvojeno?

    Sušenja i kovrčanje lišća može biti posljedica stresa na korijena uzrokovane neravne zalijevanje ili niskom vlagom. Gardenias ne vole da imaju svoje korijene narušeni. Razdvajaju dvije biljke će izazvati mnogo traume već oporezovana korijenski sustav, zato ja ne bih preporučiti ga dijeli. Ako mislite da je korijen biljke dužan, u kojoj korijeni pojavljuju iznad tla i izlaze iz dna odliv rupa, onda ga ponovo staviti u saksiju u 1-2 "veći kontejner prije nego što počinje na proljeće staviti na novi rast. Gardenias cvijet najbolje kad ih se malo lonac obvezuju. Trim suhe stabljike, a ne odvojena biljka.

    Imam gardenija koja mi je dana, to je bio događaj nije tako dobro jer sam bio vlasništvo tvrdo vrijeme redovito zalijevanje. Tako jednom kad sam počeo raditi da, to razlistanih se prilično dobro i stvarno je dobio zeleno. Nisam promijeniti ciklus zalijevanja, ali zbog nekog razloga sve lišće uvenuo i počeli rotor, a onda ... .. kad sam otišao na dodir lista, je pala off! Svi listovi otpale, osim za neke novi rast na kraju. Mislio sam da bi moglo biti pot, tako da sam u zadnje vrijeme ga repotted - to je događaj malo bolje, ali još uvijek nema lišća na granama, samo novi rast na krajevima. Više novi rast počela nicati se na dnu - ali ono što sam izvjedljiv je trebao isključiti orezati grane koje nemaju ostavlja na njih? Čak i ako postoji novi rast na krajevima? To samo izgleda tako gol bez lišća! To nije procvjetao na sve jer sam ga dobio za Božić. Pomoć?

    Neravne vlaga i niske vlage gardenija će uzrokovati pad njihove lišća i vrhove. Orezati isključivanje bilo kojeg mrtvog grane ili one koje nemaju lišće na njima. Budući da ste novi rast koji dolaze iz baze biljke, također smanjiti "gol" stabljika koja će stimulirati strana izbojci i stvaraju potpunijeg izgleda biljka. Osiguravamo svijetle filtrirane svjetlosti, uniformu vlagu (stavite ga na pladanj šljunčana) i oploditi s 1 / 2 gnojiva kiseline snage (svaka 2 tjedna ožujak-rujan) da ga ide.

    Yellow pupoljci
    Imam Gardenia stabla za oko mjesec dana, FULL, pupova. CVIJEĆE NA PRVI SU LIJEPE I sada su se ne OpenBSD. Vrhovi su žute i ne OpenBSD, to je na otvorenom i dobiva jutarnjeg sunca. ŠTO I'MI radiš krivo ... ... ugoditi pomoć. It's My FARVOTE CVIJET, i volim ih u cijeloj kući HVALA

    Gardenias su vrlo temperamentni kada je u cvatu, oni će pad njihove vrhove ili ne otvoriti čak i kada te pogled na njih krivi način. Promjena u lokaciji kao što je premještanje bilja, bilo kolebanja temperature hladne i tople, niska vlažnost zraka, nad i pod navodnjavanje (potrebna čak i kada je vlaga u cvatu), a nisu dovoljno svjetla sve može uzrokovati cvijeće za prekid ili zaustaviti otvaranje.

    Spider grinje

    Imam zatvoreni gardenije. To je novi listovi i pupoljci tvore. No, stari listovi se okreću žute i otpadanje. Također ima neki maleni insekti koji se formiraju web (poput pauka). Kako ih se riješiti? Ja sam u NJ području. Hvala

    Gardenias osjetljivi su na grinje pauka koji zvuči kao ono što ste opisali. Yellowing listovi također može biti uzrokovana nedostatkom hranjivih tvari, kao i starost. Proljeće je dobro vrijeme za početak hranjenja vaše biljke sa "acid" gnojiva (Miracid). Slijedite upute proizvođača. Dodatni vode čaja svaka 2 tjedna će vam pomoći zadržati tlu kiseline.

    Hi Michelle,
    To zvuči poput paukove grinje. Operite biljka s vodom za uklanjanje insekata. Povećana vlažnost ljeti će ga držati pod kontrolom.

    Hi Sara
    Spider grinje će napasti kada gardenias zatvorenom prostoru. Prva stvar-biljka izolirati od svih drugih i ići na pauk grinja za liječenje više savjeta. Imajte na umu da gardenias su osjetljive na inseticidal sapuna, tako da ćete morati koristiti alternativni tretman kao što miticide.

    Kako održavati temperaturu razlika potrebna za succeessful cvatnje mojih gardenija u zatvorenom prostoru? ona čuva dobivanje pupoljci koji otpadaju, a to ostavlja nisu bujne zelene anymore. to je neki greške u programu malen siv na to što bih bio težak za upravljanje s nekim Castilla sapuna u vodi sprayed na tome, ali čini se da biljka može biti osjetljiva na to?
    hvala

    Gardenias su vrlo teško držati u zatvorenom prostoru. Temperaturne razlike je potreban da bi se biljka postaviti pupoljci-taj 'zašto se uzgajaju ih u stakleniku, gdje temperatura može biti kontrolirana. Obično, temperature će dovoljno kap po noćenju, te zagrijati tijekom dana kako bi pupoljci. Oni su temperamentni i osjetljiv na mnoge insekte. Im 'ne siguran što su greške u sivo-bi mogla biti lisnih uši ili paukove grinje. Pročitao sam da je korištenje insekticidno sapun može uzrokovati osjetljivost na gardenije biljke. Look into piretrina sprejevi označen za gardenije. Vaša biljka pokazuje znakove stresa i da će odustati od svojih pupoljci bilo koje vrijeme promjena u okolišu, visoka temp, niska vlažnost zraka, vruće ili hladno nacrte i to puno ili nije dovoljno vode. Budite oprezni da je ne overwater ili pustiti da se osuši izvan držati tlo ravnomjerno vlažno.

    Hi Francine
    To je tvrd biljka rasti u kosu klime. Ne samo da je potrebna vlažnost zraka, ali neki od lista i pupoljak kap može biti zbog fluktuacije temperatura i promjene u okolišu. Anytime je naglasio biljka, ona će odgovoriti ako stavite svoje pupoljci i listovi. Držite biljke ravnomjerno vlažna te ga oploditi s pola snage gnojivom kiseline 2-3 tjedna nakon što je učinjeno biljka u cvatu. Možete sprej magla postrojenja za povećanje vlažnosti.

Kao što sam gledajući u gardenija se čini da je to jako uznemiruje biljka. Je li to slučaj ili je to kao vijest gdje smo se samo sluh loša vijest i nije jako puno dobrih priča. Hoće li ova biljka raste u našim suhim i toplim uvjetima na otvorenom, ili bi trebao biti biljka u saksiji paluba koje treba poduzeti u naše hladne zime?

Gardenia je polu-tropska biljka i ne treba čak i vlagu, kao i kiselost tla.

    Upravo sam primio drvo gardenija, kod mog muža pogreb. Volio bih to zadržati ovu stablo živi, u sjećanje na njega. To je u lonac upravo sada. Ja živim u Sjevernoj Gruziji. Može se stablo zasađeno u zemlji? Da li to treba da se dovede unutar tijekom zimskih mjeseci? Ili bi bilo bolje samo da ga ponovo staviti u saksiju i držati ga u lonac i izvadite ga na trijem tijekom ljeta, tako da ga vrati unutar tijekom hladnih mjeseci. Ako sam to tvornice u zemlju, to će trebati djelomični hladu ili pun sunca?

    HI Đumbir
    Žalostan za svoj gubitak.
    Otpornost ovisi o vrsti gardenije. Većina ih je u zonama Hardy 9-11, a neke od sorti hladnjaci su dobri u zoni 8. Vi ste u zoni 8a što bi to marginalno Hardy u vašem području. Provjerite susjedstvu da li itko raste gardenije vani. Oni mogu toerate ispod točke smrzavanja za samo kratko vrijeme. Plant je vani u dobro iscrpljen, plodno tlo u djelomična hladu, uz sati sunca, posebice ljeti. Da bi se na sigurnoj strani, dovedite ga u zatvorenom prostoru za zimu ili držati u zatvorenim trijemom.

    Imao sam gardenije, koji je radi prilično dobro iznutra i ostavio prijatelj odgovornost za to zalijevanje u mojoj odsutnosti, za oko 2 tjedna. On kaže kako je on to učinio, ali na moj povratak stablo je bila potpuno crna, sve grane bile suhe i mrtve. Ja pruned sve odvaja ostavljajući samo od matične biljke i am navodnjavanje kada je zemlja suha i su ga napustili gdje će samo dobiti sunce ujutro. (Ja sam u New Yorku.) Međutim, nakon tjedan dana ne mogu vidjeti bilo koje poboljšanje, vrlo sam zabrinut da je cijela biljka je mrtav. Stem je crnkasta smeđe boje i ima svijetlo smeđe flaking. Što preporučate? I love this biljka tako skupo!

    Hi Ina
    Žao nam je čuti o vašoj gardenije. To zvuči kao da je izvan spremanja. Držite zalijevanja kada se tlo suši i ima li život, trebala bi poslati neki novi listovi. Čak i onda će se boriti, biljka će morati učiniti puno raste preživjeti nadolazeće zimske sezone.

    Imam zatvoreni gardenija da sam repotted 4 puta. Ja repotted jer biljka je korijen povezan. Svaki put nakon repotting blooms se ponovno pojavila. Gardenia je u lonac koji teži oko £ 100 i opet i izgleda kao da treba repotted mada ja ne mogu ići bilo koji veći (pot). Moje pitanje je: Da li postoji način da se "Split" biljka bez harming. Ja živim u Pennsylvaniji, tako stavljajući ga na otvorenom, nije dobra ideja. Ne želim izgubiti biljka.

    Hi Darlene
    Dijele se obično ne preporučuje jer oni ne vole da imaju svoje korijene uznemirila i svibanj ne presaditi preživjeti šok. Bilo bi izazvati više štete nego koristi. Ako želite probati, to učiniti u proljeće prije nego što počne novi rast ili nakon što je učinjeno u cvatu. Drugi način je vrh haljina root vezana gardenija u proljeće. Uklanjanje ili trljati se daleko od top 1-2 inča potting tla, a zatim ga zamijeniti sa svježom potting tla koja uključuje slow-release gnojiva. Gardenia procvasti najbolje kad ih se malo lonac vezan.

    Članak iznad o gardenija će vam dati neke savjete na zimu briga. Donesite svoje biljka unutra kad se temperatura ispod 50F. Nema potrebe da ponovo staviti u saksiju ili promjenu tla. Oni stvarno ne vole svoje korijene uznemireni. Možete ponovo staviti u saksiju nakon što je učinjeno u cvatu. Svakako da joj puno vlage zimi. Sretno

    Upravo sam kupio 5 srednjih Gardenia Grmlje za mjesto u mom ispred krajolika kreveta kroz jučer i danas. Ja živim u Upstate Južna Karolina, tako da ja ne živim u hardier zona za Gardenia rast. Moja briga je da sam ih stavi u položaj da se dobije puna sunca tijekom najtoplijeg dijela dana. Ja nisam tako zabrinut o tome u ovom lijepom vremenu jesen, ali bojim se za slijedeće ljeto. Hoće li se oni u potpunosti izumrijeti iduće godine? Ovo ljeto smo AHD nekoliko 90 + stupanj dana. Mislim da moje najbolje kladiti bi bilo napraviti malo više istraživanja prije nego što ih snagging gore u vrtić. JA stvarno dont 'imati bilo koji drugi prostor da ih postrojenja, kao što su Azaleas ispunjavanje strane moje kuće. Bilo koji savijeti / ideja da se najbolje brinuti se za njih?

    HI Tina
    Gardenia može tolerirati pun sunca, ali kao što ste spomenuli on svibanj biti problem u najtopliji vrijeme ljeta. Najbolje što možete učiniti je čekati i vidjeti. Vrijeme jesen će pomoći uspostaviti biljke. Mulch biljke sa 2-3 "drva čips da bi korijenje vlažnom i cool. Budite sigurni da oploditi s Azalea hrane jednom mjesečno tijekom vegetacije i pobrinite se dobiva dovoljno vode tijekom toplog sezone. Stablo dati neke pjegav hladu ljeto bi bilo lijepo. Sretno s vašim gardenije. Nadam se da rastu dobro.

  • Mary Williams

    Ja živim u središnjem Connecticut. Ovaj prošlosti može sam kupio Corsage gardenija "stablo" (oko 4 metara visok. Kada sam počeo da se pupoljak kap i yellowing lišće pada, hranio sam ga tekućina kelirani mješavina željeza oko sredine kolovoza. Odgovorio je lijepo i ima puno pupova jednom opet. Međutim, lišće žuti su počeli da se opet i sada Bojim se da će izgubiti pupoljci. Koliko često mogu ga hraniti sa kelirani željeza? To je na svojoj palubi do prošlog tjedna, kada sam ga donio kući. To je puno svjetla i ja sam ga hranio miracid dva puta u posljednjih mjesec dana. To je moj apsolutni omiljeni cvijet, a ja bih mrzim to izgubiti. Bilo koji pomoć bi bilo mnogo poštovati.

    Bok Marija
    Možete hraniti kelirani željezo 2-3 puta godišnje. Jedan od problema svibanj biti hladan temperaturu. Gardenias potrebna temperatura od 62-63F, kada su pupoljci tvore ili pupoljcima htijenje kap. Ako temperatura ide ispod 55F biljka ne može iskoristiti željezo i listovi postaju chlorotic (žuta). Uvjerite se da je na toplo mjesto s visokom vlagom, a zatim primijeniti željeza. Također provjerite za insekte, oni također mogu uzrokovati yellowing lišća.

    Upravo sam kupio jučer gardenija veitchii, poticaj kupiti. Ne znam ništa o rastu gardenias. Jedino što sam narasla je ruže. Ovo gardenija ide u lonac, koliko velik lonac ne treba? Imam jednu koja je oko 10 gal da sam mislio na to stavljanjem u, ali će to biti veliki za početak? To je vjerojatno nešto manje od 12 "visok i širok upravo sada. Također koliko duboko to treba biti posađeno? Da li je potrebno ništa drugo nego potting tla, ja koristiti vlage gro kontrolu čudo. Ja nemam bez zemlje sadnja ruža miješati da ima mnogo različitih vrsta komposta stvari u njemu (composted šišmiš đubrivo, pileći gnoj, lucerna obrok, crv kućišta i puno drugih stvari previše, organskih), bi ga povrijediti ga dodati neke od da u? Ja živim u Bay Area of CA i temp ovdje je prilično cool u ovo doba godine. To prosjeci highs u sredinom 60-lows u sredinom 40-ih. Je li to temp u redu za to biti vani sad? To čini se vruće u ljetnim za highs, 90-100's. Hoće li to učiniti u redu ujutro popodne hlad i direktno sunce? To može biti premještena u hladu dobili više ako je potrebno, pogotovo u ljetnim mjesecima. Može li se pruned dolje da bi to prilično mala, ako je potrebno, ili da će ga ozlijediti? Hvala za sve informacije koje su vam mogu dati!

    Hi Cathie
    Ne bih presaditi gardenina u ovom trenutku jer oni ne vole svoje korijene da mu se smeta osobito kada se počinju formirati cvijet pupoljci. Gardenia set cvijet pupoljci u jesen. Ponovo staviti u saksiju nakon što je učinjeno cvatnje biljka i biljka na istoj razini tla da je to raste. Možete miješati u nekim komposta na zemlju miješaju, samo pobrinite da dobro odvode. Imajte na umu da kada koristite kontrolu vlage u tlu biljka će trebati manje zalijevanja. Popodnevnom suncu u ljetnim svibanj biti previše, ja bi ga premjestili na shadier mjesto u to vrijeme. Čišćenje treba biti učinjeno nakon cvatu. Gardenia je Hardy u zoni 8-11

    Lisne uši
    Ja živim u Houstonu, Texas. Imam Gardenia zasadili ispred moje kuće. Oni imaju puno cvijeća, ali ostavlja izgledati imaju sloj crne puder na njega. Od ranije komentar, mislim da bi moglo biti lisne uši. Što mogu koristiti za liječenje lisne uši?

    Hi Haley
    Gardenia u cvatu je teško tretirati kao i bilo koji sprej svibanj isto tako oštetiti cvjetove. Možete probati žutim ljepljivim zamkama privući lisne uši ili ih ručno cijeđenje između prstiju kako bi smanjili populaciju. Tvrdi prskanja vode, može ih srušiti. Nima i buhača / alkohol sprej su na snazi. Look into piretrina sprejevi označen za gardenije. Insekticidni sapun može uzrokovati osjetljivost na gardenija biljke, tako da se ne preporuča.

  • Kathryn

    Enjoyed reading all the questions and comments! I have an outside gardenia that lives in a pot facing the east morning sun. When temps get below freezing, I move it to the garage until the temps come back up. Here it is late November, temps in 40's & 50's day, low 30's and 20's nights – my gardenia is full of huge buds! Zašto?

    Hi Kathryn
    Congratulations!! Apparently, your hardy gardenia liked the humidity and cooler temperatures( 10-15 degree temperature differential) it received to set bud.

  • Sharon

    Ja živim u Kaliforniji, moja gardenija biljka u loncu od na mom trijemu, listovi su lijepo zeleno, no oni su Droopy. Imam ga zali, ali to ostaje samo Droopy, ni cvijeće još. Što je pogrešno?
    Hvala

    Bok Sharon
    Wilting problemi svibanj biti uzrokovan bilo previše vode ili premalo vode. Ako je tlo mokro i gardenija još uvenuo, onda svibanj biti overwatered što može uzrokovati truljenje korijena. Budite sigurni da lonac dobro drenira a biljka ne stoji u vodi. Ako je to slučaj underwatering, biljka treba oporaviti se u roku od nekoliko sati nakon zalijevanja.

    Rasadničarstvo gardenije

    Bok! Dobio sam gardenija iz Home Depot nekoliko dana prije (ja živim u South Florida), a ja ga posadi na mjesto koje dobiva pola dana sunca, Klin za sjeckanje, vode, kao i pravo gnojiva, ali neke od svojih listovi imaju okrenut žuta i to pupoljci ne otvaraju. Također, ona počinje venuti, a zatim se vraća snagu ponovo svakih nekoliko sati ili tako! Čitala sam negdje drugdje, jer da je to iz Home Depot, već možda imaju tonu gnojiva u njemu. Ima li istine u tome? Zaustavio sam zalijevanje ga prije nekoliko dana samo u slučaju, jer sam mislio JA svibanj imati ga zali previše.

    Hi Christina
    Ona prolazi kroz transplantaciju šok. Nema potrebe za oploditi upravo sada, gardenije, ne volim svoje korijene poremećen i treba acclimate u novu sredinu. Neka biljka isušivanje malo između navodnjavanje kako bi se izbjeglo overwatering. Budući da korijeni su narušeni, listovi su wilting i yellowing. Oštećeno korijenje ne može slati do dovoljno vode da listovi kada sunce udari njih, tako im uzrokovalo da venuti. Gardenija oporavi kad ima manje stresa na biljke. Yellowing lišće također će se pojaviti kao biljka pokušava smanjiti količinu ostavlja ga mora održavati. Treba vremena za oporavak.

    Lisne uši
    Ja sam drvo gardenija, to je bio događaj prilično dobro vani, jer sam ga dobio iznutra sam primijetio nešto svakodnevno, moj najnoviji problem je bila bijela koža na pupoljcima i lišćem je shinyy i ljepljiva. I cut the bud & took the nursery ( the spray they gave didn't work), my second visit he told me to clean the leafs with alcohol ( and that I think killing my plant now), I still have those white skins (not like before but still some) and now most of the leafs dried & turned dark brown. Bilo koji sugestija? what can I do about white skins? and what can I do about dry brown leafs? (it doesn't turn yellow, just dark dry brown). Thank any info you can give me.

    Hi Ann
    Sounds like you have aphids. The white skins are cast skins of aphids. You don't mention what kind of sprays you used. Gardenias are sensitive to insecticidal soap. A hard spray with the hose will help elliminate most but not all. Look into pyrethrin sprays labeled for gardenia. Neem and a pyrethrum/alcohol spray are also effective. Several treatments are needed in order to be effective.

  • Ann

    Leaf kap

    I lost most of the leafs of my gardenia tree & I trimmed some ( everyday I have dry brown leaves) even green leaves are just dry, I don't know what's going on, still living for now but not much leaves left & I still have that aphids ( gonna look for pyrethrin spray). thank you, any ideas about dry leaves ( not yellow) just dry (some are dark brown or black) and some green ( but dry).

    HI Ann
    In addition to the insect problem, a gardenia will drop healthy leaves when the soil and/or air moisture is too dry (low humidity). Exposure to drafts such as heating vents and air conditioning will also cause leaves to drop. Leaves that turn dark brown/black can be caused by keeping the plant too cool ( below 50 degrees). You may need to increase the humidity indoors.

  • Ann

    Thanks for your quick respond, my gardenia tree is front of the window & next to the heating vent ( even I closed the vent) it might be to dry & too cold ( for being right front of the window). I am going to move the plant from there to another place tomorrow morning. I have one more question though, I want to buy a humidifier ( for the gardenia, for the increase the humidity), which one should I get? warm or cool moisture humidifier? Puno ti hvala.

    I don't know much about humidifiers, I would think the warm air one would work in the near vicinity of the plant. You can also use a pebble tray-which is a large saucer with a layer of pebbles and a layer of water just below the pebbles. Place the plant on top of the pebbles. The evaporating moisture will benefit your plant. Grouping several plant together also helps increase humidity.

  • Jennifer

    Imam gardenija grm koje sam zasadio prošlog proljeća te se razvio lijepo izvana. I'm concerned about it now since winter has started. I live in zone 7 and it has gotten down into the 20s some nights. I've noticed the bush has turned very brown even though I've been covering it with a sheet on the coldest nights. Will it get new growth in the spring and will it bloom? Do I need to prune the old growth back in early spring? Do gardenias usually survive winter in zone 7? I would appreciate some advice on this. It was doing so well before I would hate to see it die. Hvala!

    Hi Jennifer
    Gardenias are marginally hardy in zone 7B-with protection or a cold-hardy variety “Kleims hardy”, otherwise most are hardy in zones 9-11. It sounds like yours have been exposed to cold temperatures and that is why the leaves are tunring brown/black. It will not tolerate temperatures below 40F. If your plant is in the ground, cover it with a blanket and add a couple inches of mulch around the base of the plant to help protect the roots. If it survives the winter, you may have to prune away the dead stems in the spring.

  • Jennifer

    Thank you for answering my question above. I thought of one more thing to ask about my gardenia. If it does show signs of growth in the spring, can I transplant it into a large pot so I can move it inside during the next winter? I just wondered if moving it from the ground into a pot would kill it even more or would be ok to do. Hvala.

    Hi Jennifer
    Gardenias do not like their roots disturbed, so it won't be happy for a while but leaving it outdoors for the winter will eventually kill it. Transplant your gardenia in late winter when it is dormant. Before transplanting, cut back some of the top growth up to 1/3 to give the roots less to feed and make the plant more manageable. Once planted water in well and give it a root starter to help stimulate new root growth.

  • Suzanne

    I have a Gardenia that is wilting , has some brown spotted leaves, and some leaves are crips and almost dead. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Suzanne
    There are some leaf spot fungal diseases that will cause brown spots on the leaves. I suspect that it started with a watering problem. If the soil is wet and the plant is wilted then you have a root rot problem. Remove any spotted leaves as it can spread and avoid wetting the foliage. Its best to water thoroughly and less often. Let the plant dry slightly before watering again.

    Chlorosis on gardenia

    I live in South Florida and have a gardenia planted next to my east facing patio. Admittedly, I have not taken the best care of it over the years. Despite my neglect, it has somehow thrived, until recently. Over the past several months the leaves have started to turn yellow with the veins remaining green. I have tried fertilizing regularly with Miracid, but the problem persists and may even be worsening. I recently read that using distilled water, rather than tap water, may be better for gardenias. I have not yet tried that, but wanted to know if there is something else I should be doing.

    Hi Elena
    I'm assuming that your gardenia is planted in the ground. I would suggest that you test the soil ph, to make sure it is low enough(acid) to make iron available to the plant.
    Here are some other ideas, gardenias that are growing under cold conditions (below 60F) for extended periods can also become chlorotic (iron)because the cold temperatures reduce nutrient absorption. They don't take up as much iron causing chlorosis. Chlorosis is prevalent on the new growth . It can also be a sign of root disease caused by keeping the soil too wet.
    For a quick fix add chelated iron to the soil or spray it on the leaves. If you don't see any results in 2 weeks, try again. Another option is to apply ammonium sulfate or iron sulfate around the dripline of the soil. Follow the manufactureres label and avoid spraying any concrete, stucco etc as it will stain the surface. If that doesn't work then there may be a problem with the roots being unable to absorb the iron and you may have to improve the soil the gardenia is growing in.

  • Sooty mold
    I am at my mothers in Naples, Florida where her gardenia has a covering of black “soot” underneath leaves, on top of the leaves as well as on some of the branches. I was told to use detergent soapy water and “clean off” each leaf. Is there anything else I can do? We have not seen any aphids or bug activity.

    Hi Elaine
    Insects such as scale and whitefly also produce honeydew which sooty mold grows on. The problem with sooty mold is that it blocks light from entering the leaves which inhibits photosynthesis (food production) which can cause yellowing leaves and leaf drop. Scale and Whitefly seem to be a favorite pest of Gardenia. For scale look closely on the stems and leaves for bumps that can be scraped off. If you brush against the shrub and little white flies emerge then you have white fly . Once you get rid of the bug, you'll get rid of sooty mold. Easier said than done. If you have an insect problem, you can spray the plant with Orthene (acephate) Malathion or use a systemic (disulfoton) that is absorbed by the roots and renders the plant poisonous. Read the manufacturers label for safe usage.
    If your gardenia is underneath a tree that is dripping honeydew from an insect infestation, then you'll have to control the insect in the tree. Sooty mold should wash away with winter rain or can be wiped off with soapy water. for more info. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn74108.html

    I received a potted gardenia in bloom with many buds for Valentina's. I put it in bathroom by large glass block window in large shower. Temp normal, cooler at night. I live in Melbourne, FL. It continues to bloom however the flowers turn yellow within a day or two. Leaves are green and shiny. I water when dry. I don't take a shower in that particular bathroom often What am I doing wrong and why do flowers turn yellow in such a short time. It's my favorite flower. My mom use to pin a flower on our slip strap as young girls for our perfume.

    Hi Eve
    Gardenia blooms in optimal condtitions will last for 3-8 days. If the plant is slightly stressed, the flowers are the first to show any symptoms. Perhaps it gets too warm with glass block window. Indirect light is better when in bloom. Flowers will fade faster is the air is too dry. It may need more humidity.

    Hello, I am considering purchasing a few dwarf gardenias , but have some concerns about size. Is it true that the dwarf versions only get to be about 2 ft. tall?

    Chris hi
    I don't know about this gardenia cultivar but if the tag is labeled to grow up to 2ft., then I would think that it should be true. Perhaps someone out there knows more about this cultivar.

    I purchased a beautiful dwarf variegated Gardenia with double flowers, from 'X' nursery. True to its word, the Gardenia hasn't exceeded 2′.
    It's Gardenia 'radicans' variegata. A gorgeous plant.

    It's Gardenia 'radicans' variegata. A gorgeous plant.

    Gardenias prefer being potbound. Tight roots promote flowering, but also, the smaller the pot, the smaller the plant. I'm not saying to keep a plant confined indefinately, but smaller areas slows growth.

    Less fertilizer is another option. Althuogh, fertilizing gardinas with an acidic fertlizer is required, use half-strenght, once a month, during growing season. Halt in fall and winter.

    Someone asked why buds drop prematurely. Overwatering is the number 1 reason this happens.
    Less water and cool temps should do the trick..the problem is, the average household isn't kept chilly. Although a few of my friends turn the heat way down at night, even in our cold area. If a person can deal with eight hours at 60-65F degrees, and soil is left to dry, buds should open, turning into beautiful blooms.

    My wife has 2 Gardenia Bushes and she would like to cut some of the blooms to put in the house. How do you do this without hurting the plant?

    HI Dan
    Gardenia flowers are usually cut with a few inches of stem attached. Avoid touching the flower, it will bruise and brown easily.

  • Alice

    My husband gave me his late Mother's gardenia tree about 3 years ago. I planted it at my home and it was doing great. About 7-8 months ago after our wedding we moved it to our new home. We were careful about having it in the “same sun” at the new location. Since moving it the leaves have become yellow and it's rather sick looking. Of course this has a lot of sentimental value and I don't want to lose this tree. Bilo koji sugestija bi bilo poštovati. Pomoć, molim!
    Hvala.

    Hi Alice
    Your gardenia may be adjusting to the new environment. There are several reason why the leaves can turn yellow. Some yellowing leaves are normal, others may be because of lack of nutrients. First, check for insects such as scale .

  • Missy

    Its Missy again with another question… Its now starting to get warmer here in Northeast Conn. I have been putting my tree out when its 50 degrees and warmer to get some sun. Although now all my leaves have dried up and fell off!! It looked like there were new green buds for new leaves but they seem to have been drying up too. The soil is very moist and I try to spritz it down often. How do I make it come back? Do I trim it, do a half soil change? The stems of the tree are still alive and have green in them… help!!

    HI Missy,
    Be careful of how much sun exposure your gardenia is getting. Too much sun will easily scorch the leaves. In addition, make sure the gardenia gets a chance to dry out slightly between watering. They like moist soil but if it is too wet it causes root damage.

  • Allie

    Insect Problem
    Bok,
    I bought an indoor gardenia last year. It has started blooming again this March.
    I have seen small bugs in the pot, sticky residue on the leaves, spider web like webs on some of the leaves, and some of the new leaves look like they have been chewed.
    Please help me save this beautiful plant. Hvala.

    Hi Allie
    You may have a number of things going on. Sticky residue is a clue for scale or mealy bugs. I'm not sure what is chewing on the leaves. You may also have fungus gnats in the soil if you kept the soil too moist.

    Dried leaves and drop
    Hello again, Its spring here and I have put my gardenia tree outside on those nice warm days but I am sure to not give it too much sun. Since I have brought it out from the winter all of its leaves have dried up and fell off . In the beginning of the winter I treated it for spider mites with Ivory soap and water and that seemed to do the trick. The stems have green to them I have fed it a week and a half ago and still no new growth. Is this a result from the mites? Any hints? or what should I do??

    Hi Missy
    It's possible that your gardenia tree is suffering from several problems aside from the insects, leaf drop can be due to a drastic change in temperatures (too cold) and light as well as keeping the soil too dry or too wet. They are tempremental. Keep the plant in filtered light until it shows new growth and slowy acclimate it outdoors to filtered light.

  • Judy Ellis

    Just got gifted with lush gardenia plant for Mothers Day. Tag says “Grown in Canada”. There are no blooms on it. Can I plant it outside in this 9A grow zone or is it strickly an indoor variety? I've got a couple spots in mind that are sunny til noonish then house shades it. Also have screened porch on same side, but I'm not to good about remembering to water stuff regularly. Thanks for your help.

    Yes, you can plant your gardenia outdoors. It should survive the winters in zone 9A. Plant it in a protected area. The am till noon sun sounds great.

    The drying and curling leaves on a gardenia indicate uneven watering and/or low humidity.

    Hardiness issue
    Hi, I bought a gardenia tree and I planted it outside.I was told that it was an outside plant and now I find out that it might not survive the winter outside in Canada.When I purchased this plant I was looking for something thatwould come back th following year without any problems.
    I am very upset it is a beautifull flower and would hate to lose it… help please…

    HI Tinka
    Gardenia is a tropical plant and will not tolerate freezing temperatures. The only way it will survive you winter is if you bring it indoors. I would complain to whoever sold you the plant giving you the wrong information.

  • Amy

    I just received a gardenia plant as a gift. I bought a ceramic pot and transplanted it and added some Miracle Grow moisture control potting soil. I also added some Miracle Grow “stick” fertilizer. I have the plant in partial sun most of the day. I had it in full sun and noticed some of the leaves were turning yellow so I moved it to partial sun and the leaves look great. My only problem is “mold” growing on the top of the soil?? Što se događa? I did removed a “layer” of mold last night but it came back today. What should I do??

    I bought new gardenia few weeks ago with no experience in gardening and newely developed hobby.I am not sure what that yellow powder is on leaves.it is flowering and has new leaves.

    Not sure what the yellow powder is. Could it be under a blooming tree or shrub that is dropping pollen? If the powder is a light gray/white color then it could be powdery mildew .

    i live north of Ocala, fla. my gardenia is about 6 ft. tall and roughly 6 ft. diameter. it is blooming nicely. do i need to pull off old flowers as they turn yellow or let them stay on plant? if i need to pull them, do i take flower and pod or just the flower. hvala.

    Usually the flower will fall off on its own. You can pinch off both the flower and pod. The pod (if pollinated) can produce seeds.

    Gardenia growing tips
    I started one from a cutting 21 years ago and it still looks and does very well. I don't have any special secrets but this seems to work for me: I live in New jersey.
    I put it outside on my front porch from May 1st to October 1st and only feed it during that time. My porch gets afternoon sun.I feed it every 4-6 days with a pinch of Muracid to a gallon of water and let it run through.
    Before i bring it in for the winter I spray it with an all purpose bug spray and cover it with a cleaner bag for the night. Then I trim it.
    Once inside I put it in the brightest room in the house-my diningroom and water it less often and do not feed it. It sets bud over the winter and blooms on the porch over the summer. I get about 50-60 blooms.
    I repot it in the spring every few years when roots are coming out of the bottom.

    Thanks for the info Lynn. I'm sure it will be useful to our readers.

    Transplant time
    After reading the many informative posts on your website, I now see that my outdoor gardenia plant, which I planted in full sun, needs to be moved where it can be in partial sun. I live in Seattle, in Zone 8b. However, I see that you strongly recommend not disturbing their roots. Is there a good time to move a gardenia? It is now July, and I planted it about six weeks ago.

    The best time would be when the gardenia is dormant-in the fall or late winter.

    i live in northern va and have just bought a gardenia jasminoides 'aimee'. It is about 3 feet tall and is potted. As adviced by the nursery i fed it Miracid, however its leaves started getting yellow. i would like to know how to take care of this beautiful plant. The zone of this area is 7b.

    HI Seth
    Some leaf yellowing is normal. Miracid is a good fertilzer for Gardenia. It may take a week to notice the difference. Are the older leaves turning yellow or the new leaves? You can plant your gardenia outdoors as it it hardy in zone 7b.in afternoon shade. Plant it in rich, well-drained slightly acid soil. Once planted, water well and place 2-3″ of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the base.

    Drying and curling leaves
    Bok. I live in Atlanta. I replanted my gardenia last spring. but after i did. the green color of the leaves seems to fadded, it is not losong the green color, very dry leaves and curling at the end. što učiniti?

    Hi Naomi
    The drying and curling leaves on a gardenia indicate uneven watering and/or low humidity.

    One more variation on the endless yellowing leaves issue: This spring, I planted some Radicans dwarf gardenias in a relatively low-lying bed that has tended to stay damp. Recognizing that, I planted them fairly high, did the best I could to prepare the hole for good drainage (underlying soil is clay), and tried not to irrigate too heavily. Half of the plants seem to be doing well, while the others are thin and have many yellow leaves. Contrary to what I would have expected, the plants doing better are in the section of the bed I think is the dampest. How likely is it the the yellow leaves on the others are due to being UNDER watered? The surface of the soil does dry out between waterings. Any other thoughts? We've had our soil tested and it is acidic. Site is mostly sunny, zone 8. Hvala.

    Hi Pat
    I'm asuming that you checked for insects and nutrition problems. It is possible that the yellow leaves are due to not enough soil moisture. Gardenias like slightly moist soil. Try placing 2 inches of mulch around the root zone of the plant. This will help keep the soil moist longer.

    Winterover gardenia indoors
    I purchased a blooming gardenia in April, repotted it and put it in a sunny spot outside. I live in Missouri. It's grown considerably! I only had one bud on it, then we had a rain storm and the bud knocked off (no more buds). Now day temps are only in the mid 60's with nights in the 40's. I have doubts that it will survive the winter indoors because windows are east/west exposure. Do you think I could just put it in the basement and let it go dormant for the winter and revive again in the spring? I've never had success with indoor gardenias over the winter. HELP please?

    Hi Sylvia
    I have never tired it but as a last resort, I think its worth a try. Other tropical plants can be wintered over the same way. Just make sure that the soil doesn't dry out completely-water it lightly once a month.

    Perhaps someone else out there has had some experience with this method.

    Leaf kap
    I brought my gardenia inside for the winter…and it was fine at first, but now ALL of the leaves are dropping off. Što to znači?

    Hi Megan
    Lower light and dryer air can cause your gardenia to drop its leaves. Provide bright filtered light, uniform moisture and humidity (place it on a pebble tray)
    Are the leaves turning yellow before dropping ?

  • Yellow gardenia
    We have a whole bed of Gardenias that has been established for approximately 30 years. We live in Georgia (2 hours north of Atlanta) and have enjoyed the pretty white flowers every year. Today (Nov. 26, 2009) I noticed some orange colored blooms on them. There aren't as many orange blooms as white ones in the summer but they are there none the less. At first I thought maybe there was another plant (like a weed) that had invaded the bed; but, the blooms are squarely on the Gardenias. Would you give me a 'heads-up' as to why they are there? We have never noticed them in the 30 years of the bed's life. Thank You in advance for your answer email.
    S poštovanjem,
    Robert Fricks

    Hi Robert
    There are a few rare cultivars of gardenia that produce fragrant orange flowers such as Gardenia Kula var. gradiflora, gardenia tubifera kula (gardenia pfordii), gardenia gjellerupii. The color changes from ivory, to yellow, then turn orange as the flower matures. They are slow growers. As to why you have yellow and white growing together. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps you had the rare cultivar among the white gardenia and the orange gardenia finally started to bloom. No wonder they are so expensive.
    If you have both colors on one stem???? Perhaps you're growing a new sport or chimera.

    Dried out soil on gardenia
    bok. i have a small indoor gardenia (about 10″ tall) that i've had for a few months. i went away for a couple weeks and left 2 water globes in the pot to feed it. on my return a week ago, i found that only one of the globes was drained and the other had been blocked from draining by soil. needless to say, the pot was dry and as were all the leaves. i watered it immediately, and haven't seen a change. i haven't pruned it yet, but i'm just wondering if it's gone to that big garden in the sky.
    hvala

    Hi Devon
    Sorry to say, your gardenia has gone to the “big garden in the sky”. (I like that phrase). Once the soil dries out completely it is very difficult to rehydrate and by then the roots are dead.

    I have (had) a lovely gardenia florida on my back verandah potted in premium mix. It was going very well until just now. Yesterday I noticed a couple of leaves on the deck but did not take any notice. This morning I noticed alot of leaves and when I touched the branches a whole lot more came off! I ended up cutting it right back and will wait to see what happens. It has been well watered and fertilsed. I would just love to know what I did wrong!!

    Hi Rossop
    Is it possible that your gardenia was exposed to sudden cold temperatures? If so, it would drop its leaves very quickly. ps. Do not fertilize the plant from Sept. to March.

    Curl grub
    Thanks alot but I found out the cause of the stress to my gardenia. It was curl grubs. I am growing a new one in new potting mix. I was told to water with confidor every 2 months. Any other tips?

    Hi Rossop
    Hvala za info. Curly grubs are the larval form of a beetle (Chafer,Christmas, scarab, garden beetle) that feeds on the roots of plants. They are all lumped together because they belong to a large beetle family(Coleoptera). You will get specific grubs, depending on where you live. Curly grub seems to be prevalent in Australia and Southern states (USA). Treatment is the same as for Japanese beetles. Merit and Milky spore are some products that will help control the insect. Note: Milky spore needs to be applied in early spring before the grubs hatch.

    Black crispy leaves
    Please help my Gardenia, I am in Toronto, Since I migrate it indoor in Winter last Oct., It's began to dry the leaves as picture,fall after I touched it,the leaves look crisp. I checked the soil, still humidity, Please help!!!
    This is take from last summer
    I don't know how I can keep it until this spring and bring it outdoors.

    Gardenia picture here

    Hi Dudu
    Thanks for the photo, it looks like your gardenia may need more humidity and perhaps is experiencing uneven moisture such as forgetting to water the plant thereby allowing the soil dry out. Keep the soil moist but not wet. Make sure that the plant does not sit in water. Being a tropical plant, gardenia also needs lots of humidity, a pebble tray would help provide extra moisture in the surrounding air to keep the leaves from drying out. Make sure that the plant is away from cold drafts as that can also cause the leaves to turn black and drop.

    • Soluble salt
      Hvala za tvoj savjet.
      I was told by the gardener guy that may cause by Salt built in the soil, and suggest me to put it in bathtub and completely show through the plant. It's so sad to me for the Plant tree was brought for my wife's birthday gift last year. Because the flowers are so wild in my hometown(south-east of China). Now I don't know how to take care of it.
      Should I bathe it? It's getting worse now. How am I going to watering and fertilize? I used to water once a week.
      By the way, will the tea help it built acid condition? Can I mix some tea with the soil if I am going to re-pot it?
      Mnogobrojan hvala

      Hi Dudu
      Soluble salt build up can also be a problem.
      Excess soluble salts is an accumulation of soil salts (mineral deposits) from fertilizers and or dry soil. New growth will blacken and the leaf tips and margins of leaves will turn brown. You may or may not have white/yellowing crusting on the surface of the soil. This happens when you don't water properly.
      To correct this problem, leach out the excess soil salts by watering your plant thoroughly to get all the roots wet. Pour water until it flows out of the bottom of the pot and then do it again. Excess salts will wash out with the draining water. Make sure water drains from the bottom each time you water.
      Because the plant is hardly growing during the winter, it does not need any fertilizer. Fertilize your plant from March to Oct..
      Using tea compost can be a benefit to the plant and the tannins in the tea may slightly raise the soil ph. I water my acid loving plants with leftover tea and coffee and they seem to grow well but keep in mind that your gardenia may still need supplemental nutrients which it will get from a balanced fertilizer.
      If you can place your gardenia outside in the summer so that it can enjoy warm humid weather. Nadam se da ovo pomaže.

    Scale
    My gardenia is lush and growing quickly,but today I noticed what looks like light green scales on a few of the branches. It looks like it just started, but, I would like to take care of this problem before it damages or kills my plant. Are the scales dangerous to my gardenia and if so, how do I get rid of them.
    Thank you in advance,

    Hi Dee
    It's good to nip the problem in the bud, before the scale get out of control. See scale for treatment recommendations. Don't use insecticidal soap on gardenia as they have a tendency to be sensitive to soap sprays causing phytotoxicity(yellow/brown spotting and burned tips. An ultra fine horticultural oil will also work on scale. You may need several treatments to control the problem.
