Wild gardenia

Answer 1

Wild gardenia was an evergreen shrub belonging to the rubiaceous gardenia. In China, wild gardenia was produced in Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hubei, and Yunnan. It was also cultivated in Hebei, Shaanxi, and Gansu. It was also wild or cultivated in Japan, North Korea, India, and Nepal. It mostly grows in wilderness, hills, valleys, hillsides, shrubs or forests by streams at an altitude of 10 - 1500 meters.

Wild gardenia fruits were oval, nearly spherical, yellow or orange-red in color, and the seeds were mostly round and slightly angular. The flowering period is from March to July, and the fruiting period is from May to February of the following year.

Wild gardenia had many uses. Its flowers were large, beautiful, and fragrant, often used as hedges or bonsai for viewing; its flowers could be extracted into aromatic extract, which could be used as a blending agent for a variety of floral cosmetics and soap essence; its dried and ripe fruit was commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, which could be used to treat fever, irritability, liver fire, red eyes, headache, and sores on the mouth and tongue. Its leaves, flowers, and roots could also be used as medicine.

From the perspective of making bonsai, wild gardenia had thick and strong branches and developed roots. It was a high-quality material for making bonsai, and most of the materials came from digging wild stakes. Spring was the best season for digging. When digging, try to keep the original soil intact. If you can't carry more original soil, you should bring more roots, especially velvet roots and lateral roots. At the same time, cut off excess branches. After digging and cutting, treat the wound. Pay attention to moisture preservation during transportation. If the pile material is not fresh, trim the rotten root system. You can plant it on the ground first or use a large wooden box to plant it. The plant material should be moist river sand. It can be dipped in root-taking powder to speed up the pot. Experienced people will build a small arched shed and cover it with plastic bags to keep it warm and moist. Don't rush to remove the bag after sprouting. You can first make the plastic bag look like a sore and gradually expand the hole.

In terms of maintenance, wild gardenia preferred a slightly cool environment. In the morning and evening of summer, it could accept scattered light and weak light. At noon, it needed to be shielded from strong light to avoid burning the leaves. In other mild seasons, it could see light all day. Receiving more light before flowering was beneficial to flower bud differentiation. In winter, light helped to enhance nutrient accumulation and cold resistance. If you want to control the growth of the bonsai, you can spray medicine or foliage fertilizer.

In terms of commercial tea drinks, the wild gardenia milk tea product launched by Overlord Tea Concubine won the love of tea lovers with its unique clear tea fragrance and fresh taste. There was also wild gardenia and perfume light lemon tea. The former was gardenia green tea, which had a sweet and fresh tea soup and a tender and gentle gardenia fragrance. The latter was mixed with perfume lemon and alcohol. The tea soup was filled with gardenia fragrance and the sweet and sour taste was just right.

Wild gardenia could also be sold as Chinese herbal medicine. There were 500 grams, 250 grams, and 100 grams of wild gardenia fruit on the market, and the price was between 18.80 and 60.80 yuan.
