(1) Cuttings time
The first half of the year is in April and the second half of the year is in August-September. These two periods are the best season for cuttings of Gardenia and the best time for the Gardenia to reproduce.
(2) Gardenia temperature
Generally all are between 15 a 35 ℃, mild climate, suitable for cuttings growth. Generally cuttings can be rooted and sprouted in 30-40 days.
(3) land preparation
Select the land, to choose the land that is more convenient for watering, to ensure that there is a source of watering.
(3) Land preparation

3. Land preparation and slotting
Draw troughs one shovel wide and 30-40 cm deep at row spacing.
4. Apply sufficient base fertilizer
Fill the trough with soil and fertilizer by mixing 100 kg of chemical fertilizer and 100 kg of phosphorus fertilizer per mu (if you have automatic irrigation equipment, you can use more efficient and fast water-soluble fertilizer).
5. Transplanting time
