I'm so confused about the gardenia. I live near the equator, several of my neighbours have gardenia bushes outside in their house in full, full tropical all day sun and they're thriving and loaded with blooms, but so much of the advice I find on the internet say they're delicate and can't take direct sun and need X temperature to set buds which, we would never get that cold. I bought a little gardenia and kept it next to the window for months with barely any growth. Maybe a month ago I took it outside to see if it would like it better and now she's getting blasted with sunlight and loving it.

Nice video. Good info, nicely presented. I like your specificity on the temperature and humidity. Gardenia-s need acidic soil. What is your preference on the NPK numbers? I just bought a nice Gardenia and placed in a nice pot with Dr. Earth-s organic fertilizer for acidic plants. I planted it about a week ago. The PH readings are still in the high 6/low 7 range. What is your favorite way to increase the Gardenia-s acidity? I-ve heard used coffee grounds and blood meal are good choices. Do you have a preference? Thanks in advance.

i purchased my first grdenia and i noticed that the pot had three gardeias in one pot. I decided to repot the gardenia, however I did the unthinkable out of ignorance. I exposed its roots completely and washed them with water, as I wanted to separate them from the roots of the other Gardenias. sure enough, two dies and one has been struggling for 2 months now: (
I still have hope, though I know that I have only a short time-window to work with.
I have now only a few leaves left, green, but sick.
please help me.

I absolutely loved your video. I have killed more gardenias than I can count but I keep on trying. Hopefully with your information this next time will be a success. Can you please share information about when and how to prune a gardenia? The one I bought this spring surprisingly is still alive but it-s getting very leggy, I just brought it in from being outdoors But all the information I received says to prune it after flowering but I feel that I should do it now. Would you please do a video to respond to this? Thank you

Can you please do a video on pruning, repotting, soil acidity, propagation for gardenias. I love these plants but they keep dying and I feel really bad. I live in the UK and we don-t have the best of weathers. My grandmother had one in her garden (in Srilanka, and it was about 2m in height with a thick trunk. The blossoms were so fragrant, it smelt heavenly mixed in the evening salty sea breeze. I would love to successfully grow one indoors in loving memory of my late grandmother.

Danielle, you haven't been honest with us.
I don't believe you actually maintain 60F at night in your house and then warm it up each time to 65F. Do you have a separate gardenia room with Air Conditioning controlling the temperature to these levels daily? I didn't think so. Better go ask the people who provided you with the specimen shown in the video what kind of a plant regulator can be used to prevent bud drop. I've heard triacontanol can be used but never tried it.

I keep trying in southern California's hot arid climate and alkali soil. No matter how much I try to swing its makeup the other way and how much amendments I add, my once beautiful gardenia plant I bring home dies. I guess it's from a childhood memory of my mother ( she passed a few years ago ) and aunts wearing gardenias in their hair on memorial day. In fact a, l the women in that part of Texas did in memory of those who served and didn't return.

Great video. I have just gotten a gardenia like yours in the video and I have been checking the water every two days and having fine luck. My hubby insists it's dry every day and waters it. :( Now I have large buds ready to bloom but falling off and dead leaves and yellowing leaves. What do I do? :-( Thank you for any assist. It is an in the house plant and will be as we are in the Pacific North West and lots of gray and cold dreary weather.

Well, I think I was setup for failure from the get go. I got one as a gift in the middle of a freezing day, and of course I didn-t cover it to get it to the car. I would have never imagine that a plant would be that delicate to carry around for a few minutes in the cold. I don-t know why people come up with this type of gift ideas for me -
I have tones of plants that are mostly healthy and pest free, and now I got this. Great -

When I first received my Gardenia 4 years ago from my brother at my husband's funeral it was the size of the one you are showing. I have since transplanted it twice and it is about 3 1/2' wide and 3' tall. Covered in blooms. I keep it indoors over Winter and move outdoors when the weather warms. It is extremely healthy has never had any problems. I live in southern Oklahoma. My question is can I plant it outdoors?

Hi, I am a newbie to gardening and someone at Nations mississauga sold me a gardenia when I asked for a jasmine plant. So turns out now I have a gardenia. I re potted it and have it indoors. But the plant does not have any buds. How long before I can expect buds on it? Also could you please suggest a fertilizer that that I could buy in store. Thanks in advance.

I brought home a nice healthy gardenia but it's since developed chlorosis. I've added an iron supplement and have been trying to lower the ph of the soil, too, since it's a bit higher than what is recommended for a gardenia but I haven't seen any progress after about a week. Is my little buddy doomed or can we still recover?

Hi, could you please help me with the size of the pot I can repot my plant? I bought it last summer and I feel it's ready to be repotted. But at the garden centre I was told I can only go 1 size up. So if I had 13cm depth pot, I can only go 15cm. I bought it, but now I look at the think it might be too small?

I love gardenias and just bought one without knowing how difficult it is to take care of - I didn-t know any of this especially checking the bottom before buying and I just checked and it has what seems like spider webs all over the bottom so I don-t know what I can do in this case

Hi, my gardenia blooms have turned from white, to yellow, and are now brown. Where should I prune them? Should I just remove the brown bloom, or should I remove any more?
Also, can a new bloom grow back from this spot? Or will a new bloom grow from another spot?

I've had mine for a week and the flowers are turning yellow and brown round the edges. What could need adjusting? I water it about every 3 days, and use a humidifier. It's at a windowsill facing north so it gets afternoon sun. It's summer here in London UK, zone 9

I bought my first Gardenia plant a couple of days ago. I love the fragrance. You directions are easy to follow. I live in zone 3. My plant will not be outside. She is loaded with buds. I am excited to see them open. You have eased my anxiety. Thank you!

I seem to be the queen of water and going to try the finger test first! I laughed when I saw these in the PNW toward the end of summer. no way we get warm enough at night long enough for them to bloom. so they were all on clearance for $1. so trying again.
