Gardenia Jasminoides - flori intens parfumate

Gardenia jasminoides is a shrubby plant in the Rubiaceae family, native to East Asia. It is prized for its white, highly fragrant flowers, which are shaped like roses. The flowers can vary in size, but are generally large and full, with multiple layers of delicate petals.

Gardenia Jasminoides is also known as Cape Gardenia or Common Gardenia.

Gardenia Jasminoides care requires attention to ensure abundant flowering and plant health:

• Light: Prefers bright places, but protected from strong sun. Filtered light is ideal.

• Soil: The soil should be well-drained, acidic (pH between 5 and 6.5), rich in organic matter. Use special soil mixtures for acidophilic plants.

• Watering: Gardenias require consistently moist soil, but not soggy. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly before watering again. Water with a low lime content is preferred to avoid yellowing of the leaves.

• Humidity: This plant loves high humidity. To increase humidity, you can use a humidifier, place the plant on a tray of wet gravel, or spray the leaves regularly.

• Temperature: Ideally, the temperature should be between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius during the day and slightly cooler at night. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius.

• Fertilization: Fertilize gardenia once a month with a fertilizer for acidophilic plants or flowering plants, from spring to fall, to support growth and flowering.

• Pruning: Prune after the plant has bloomed to remove faded flowers and encourage new growth. It is important not to cut new shoots, where next year's flowers will form.

Gardenia jasminoides is often used in perfumery and skin care products due to the highly fragrant essential oil extracted from the flowers.

Symbolically, gardenia is often associated with purity , love , and grace , making it a popular choice for wedding bouquets and other special events.
