Is it true when growing Gardenias?

That they grow better when you put coffee grounds around them?





I heard this many, many years ago and just planted two gardenia bushes and want them really grow beautifully!





Thanks and God bless ;0)

Sure anything acidic. Coffee grounds, tea bags, wood ash, epsom salts (very cheap effective fertilizer for acid lovers) Also rusty nails spoked in the ground , gardenias like copperas (expensive fertilizer) and rusty metal is a good substitute. Don't forget the Miraclegro.








They set their next buds after blooming and going to seed, that's when you prune. They'll start in water and by laying a branch on the ground and weighting it down (brick).





Love the scent. My girls are packed with buds.





enjoy
Reply:I have come across advice for using coffee powder as fertilizer for acid-loving plants.I am not sure whether Gardenias are acid loving. However, at home it was usual for us to use strained tea leaves and coffee powder as home made fertilizers for domestic flower plants.
