Gardenia
(III)
The
gardenia requires fertilizers that are rich in phosphorus and potassium
and those that confer acid to the bottom. The best formulas are 20-20-20,
15-15-15 or12-12-17-2.
If the
fertilizer comes as granules, we can apply it once a month (as you
can see in the photo). You should always ensure that the granules
remain a reasonable distance away from the plant's stem.
You should
bear in mind, that when fertilizer comes as granules, you should always
water the plant more frequently as the water helps to dissolve the
fertilizer.
If the
fertilier comes in a liquid format, you should always give the correct
dosis as indicated on the usage instructions.
You should
apply granulated fertilizers once a month and liquid fertilizers every
15 or 20 days.
Now add
the white rubble, which we will not only use to decorate the plant
but also to keep the surface loose, thus improve the circulation of
the water in the pot.
Leave a
circle around the base of the gardenia.
With the
red rubble we mark out the circle.
The rubble
totally changes the appearance of the plant.
