最愛梔子花!六月初買到一小棵梔子花樹,上麵有十幾個含苞待放的花骨朵,好喜歡!栽在前院大門前,每天勤澆水,細觀察,盼著花開的日子。可惜啊!眼看著一個一個的花骨朵掉下來,心疼得不得了!剩下六朵的時候,開始有三朵有了要綻放的跡象了。好高興啊!趕緊加了些酸肥。這不,我的梔子花終於開了!花朵好大,花香醉人,滿心歡喜。請欣賞我的梔子花,還有最近幾天在院子裏照的其他花花。

To propagate a gardenia (figure A):

figure A
1. Take a cutting from the shrub, choosing a stem that is neither new or old growth but a semi-hardwood cutting from the midsection of a stem.
2. Using sterile, sharp shears, cut just above a leaf axil (figure B). Note: A quick way to sterilize your cutting shears is to dip the blades in rubbing alcohol.

3.Remove the leaves along the base of the stem.
4. Make a diagonal cut at the base of the stem.
5. Dip the cutting in rooting hormone (figure C).

6. Make a small hole in the potting soil, and plant the cutting. Remember to use a soil that drains well.
7. Gently tamp the soil around the stem, and water thoroughly.
8. To create a humid environment for the plant, stake toothpicks, chopsticks, or even pencils around the base of the plant and place a piece of plastic over the top (figure D).
