We just repotted our gardenia. How, naturally, can I get it to bloom?

It has buds on it, and will not bloom. What would be a natural way to facilitate blooms on a plant?





I don´t want to use chemicals on it-is there anything you use to get yours to bloom?

It depends entirely on the amount of damage done to the roots while repotting and ofcourse how mature the buds are.As a RULE repotting is a DESPERATE step one takes when plants are about to flower,ie either the plant is seriously infected or the planting medium is contiminated by acid or any other harmful chemicals etc.Be ready to compormise the joy of seing beautiful blooms this year as the plants general cycle is disturbed and will take time to recover from the repotting shock but youll have your plant back healthier so don't fret.Happy Gardening.
Reply:Iwill take time to get over the shock of repotting, just water and fertilize as normal and it will come around within a month. I do recommend Miracle-Grow. T4
