The ideal temperature requirement for this species is between 15 ° C and 25 ° C, and in winter the average temperature of 12-16 ° C is ideal for it, it does not tolerate lower temperature so far. During the winter, the most ideal place for him is in a bright, not too hot, but not too cold room. At 10-15°C, the plant can spend the winter passive period in complete peace. Gardenia jasminoides are among the plants that like acidic media, as are the popular Azaleas. If possible, irrigate with rainwater, try to collect natural water, but if we do not have the opportunity to do so, cool the boiled water back. Try to keep the soil slightly moist, but do not over-water the Gardenia. The composition of the soil should have good water permeability and acidity, such as Kanuma with activated carbon. It likes high humidity and is also good for regular full lime-free spraying when kept indoors. The gardenia is pruned after flowering. Remove the withered flowers if no fruit is developing. The best time to wire branches and twigs is May and June, when the plant is more flexible than in other months.
