Unlocking Gardenia Success: The Kitchen Secret to Blooming Brilliance

Gardenias thrive in acidic soil with a pH range of 5.0 to 6.5. If your gardenias are struggling due to alkaline soil, you can use vinegar to lower the pH level. Dilute one cup of vinegar in a gallon of water and apply the solution to the soil around the base of the plants. Vinegar not only helps maintain the optimal pH level but also prevents fungal infections, acts as a natural weed killer, deters pests, and enhances nutrient absorption for healthier growth and vibrant blooms.
