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.
Just purchased a 10" Gardenia and searched for how to care for it, as I haven't been successful before. Glad I found you. Great video and a ton of information and science.
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!!
My Gardenia Bush and one of the Standards looks really good now that I finally got my PH right. I live in zone 6, and I have kept them on my patio, moving them under the eaves of my balcony when it rained - until I got an outdoor umbrella. I keep the umbrella open to provide them with indirect light, and they seem to do really well with it. When I first got them from Home Depot, they were not in good shape. The soil was the wrong PH and I kept getting yellow leaves, which would then die and fall off. Once I got the PH right, the leaves are doing great. I have them in a large enough pot that all I have to do is water them well (with well draining soil) and then let them be until the soil starts to get dry. If I let them dry out too much, the leaves will dry out and start to die. The temperatures were definitely above 62 degrees on my patio this summer, but they did bloom. I'm guessing that's because they had cooler temps in the spring, outdoors at Home Depot. So cooler temps for the buds to form, but then they were fine on the patio for the summer. I think they will probably form buds in the spring if I put them outdoors when the temps are closer to what you are talking about. The Gardenias we have are hardy to 10 degrees F but I thought I would keep them in pots and bring them indoors for winter because I am not convinced the temps won't get colder than this, and I worry it would kill them. I don't get a ton of sun in my apartment, so I will be giving them supplemental light over the winter and pray they do ok. Although you say these plants do better indoors, I'm actually more nervous about having to overwinter them inside, as I don't know how well they will do once I have them in a lower light environment, and in cooler temps than they have been in all summer.
Thank you thank you thank you! This is the best instruction and explanation on taking care of gardenia! Every point is right on the spot! subscribed right away
I love gardenias and haven't even tried growing them for a long time because they kept dying. Thank you for giving me these tips! I'm going to try again!
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?
This is my 9th time getting one, the last one I got lasted the longest since I had it inside the house longer, I thought she was ready to live outside and it started getting sick and nothing I did worked to get her healthy. So i´m gonna treat it as an indoor plant like you said, I just can´t live without their frangrance!
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 am in zone 6 and I had my gardenia outdoors under an umbrella with only morning sun all summer with no problems. I had a water fountain nearby and did not give them any extra humidity and they did great.. I accidentally gave two of them direct sun for a few days, and then even though I moved them back under the umbrella, both of them proceeded to dry up more and more until they both look dead. The third Standard looked amazing until after I brought it indoors, and even though I have been misting them every day, and not overwatering, the standard and the bush that both looked amazing, suddenly started looking drab, and leaves began to turn partly brown and dried up. The bush now looks almost dead, except for one set of leaves on the bottom of one branch and a few leaves at the top. The Standard now looks drab, and the leaves are starting to dry out even though it has been kept moist most of the time - not wet. I don't understand what is happening. The standard looked GREAT all summer, and now it's drying up and the leaves look dull! I have not treated it differently than when it was outdoors. I give it light all day, not in the direct sun , but indirect, with supplemental light for at least 12 hours because I don't get sunlight all day in my house due to a balcony causing premature shade. I am so frustrated because the bush and the standard looked amazing all summer. The bush started showing problems not long before it was time to take them indoors. The standard looked great until after I took it in, but they both started drying out just like the ones that got too much sun. Can someone PLEASE tell me how and when to water them? I can't tell by sticking my finger in the soil whether it's dry enough to water. I read that Gardenias like to stay moist but not waterlogged, not wet. I try to water them when the soil looks like it's getting dry, where it doesn't feel wet , but dryer than "moist",.... I don't trust my water- moisture=PH meter anymore because it said the soil was wet when it clearly was not. I am at my wits end trying to figure out where I went wrong when at least the bush and one standard looked amazing most of the summer and then suddenly bam, they start to dry up.
I have no experience with gardenias, but I saved two trees from a nursery. Someone on TH-cam said they water them every other day. And they like acid, chelated iron, and Epsom salt. My leaves were all yellow, so they've been turning a dark green again. Good luck!
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 received a gardenia as a gift and unfortunately, it's had some issues. Most of the leaves are dead, and the blooms are gone. But the roots look good, the branches are green, and it still has a few leaves. I'm hoping I can save it.
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.
Hlw, Don't you need to prune a gardania. Just trim them and after trimming use fungicide both in soil and plant.This plant is so sensitive. Never prune it to hard coz that will develop 'die back'. 😊
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
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.
I live in zone 6, was successful to keep 1 out of 2 through the winter. Last summer both plants bloomed only 2 or 3 flowers during summer. Is that normal?
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.
Same here, I grew up in the Philippines and Gardenia are pretty common there we call it Rosal. They grow about 5-6ft tall under direct sunlight (35-37°c) then I moved here in Europe and they're considered indoor plants and are sensitive to direct light. I also noticed that the gardenias here produce smaller flowers.
@@Uhtredrag1080 Not at all. I barely even take care of it, just make sure it's watered and fed and it's just chugging along doing its thing. I just pruned it maybe 6 weeks ago and last week it presented me with a nice bloom, I didn't even realise it was already budding haha. In the spot where I have it now it gets full midday sun.
Thank you for all of your advice, can you please share a link or the name again of the fertilizer you suggested? I just bought my first gardenia home today! Thanks again.
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 😒
Can you show us a video of you pruning that gardenia and how it looks like that? Is it a young gardenia or you pruned it like that (this question is so all over the place sorry)
So I have a question. I ordered a bush online and it came here looking healthy. There are no flowers, which is fine but all the leaves look green and I don't see any pests. I have it sitting in a South facing window and I have been misting them every morning. I've been watering a little inconsistently because it seems like I need to water daily. I noticed it's leaves are turning yellow. The leaves have yellow veins and spotted green colours. Its a little root bound so I was wondering what soil you use to transplant it? I was really hoping not to change anything but it seems like I might have to.
I got my Gardenia a year ago on sale from Walmart. It had aphids or something when I bought it. I kept spraying it with Neem Oil. It survived a year but now the leaves are wilting drooping lately and am not sure why or what is causing it to do that….
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?
Hello, I bought a Gardenia in pot for in door here in Germany and I keep it next to the window and it gets 2/3 hours sun in the sunny days but it is very unhappy and have a lot of problems. first the leaves where drying and falling so I made sure that the soil is always moist. Now some leaves below (not the ones that get the sun) is turning orange. I think it needs iron so I bought iron and gave it to it. after that the new bud where white but it did not open and started to get black and it died. I really do not know what to do but I think it is dying 😰
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.
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?
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 bought a beautiful big gardenia plant and I replanted it in bigger pot . It's in outside but not in direct sun light ,after a week all buds droop down then next day it perked up. Now most of the leaves turn yellow. How do save my gardenia
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 had bud drop on mine but it’s outdoors I figured out it was to hot and dry I’ve since been giving it more water and it’s full of healthy buds 🙂 I’d have it inside if it wasn’t for my kitties gardenia is toxic for them 😕
Elizabeth Marks-Graham I just took my gardenia in. I live in NJ. I had no idea gardenia is toxic to cats. I put in the office with the door closed but they are curious because it was outside
omg this is the most dramatic plant ever.. funny the guy who sold it to me gave me all these tips for the other stuff I bought which is flourishing, but not a word about this one that I've been fighting to keep alive for months and hasn't even blossomed once 😂😂
Hi I have Gardenia at home its indoor but the buds and the flowers its falling down which is so sad I am pretty sad I don’t know what to do for it? Please anyone can give me any advice 🥺☹️😞😞
What do you mean, when your finger comes out "dry with no soil on it"? Dirt will stick to your finger whether it's dusty dry or wet. And if it's so dry that the soil no longer clings at all, then that means the entire pot is dry, yet the gardenia likes to be moist "at all times" . These instructions are so confusing. Everyone says it differently, and I am so confused about when to water it that I think I caused mine to dry up. I can't for the life of me figure out any other reason they are drying up on me. I waited till the soil was dry like you and others have said, to the point where the soil doesn't stay on your finger, but my plants are drying up. SMH So frustrating. I finally thought I had it figured out with the standard and the bush looking good for so long, and now the bush looks almost dead, and the standard is getting the same symptoms. It took a long time for me to get the acidity right, and I thought I finally had it figured out. SMH Now they are dying. Surprised you said nothing about the PH of the soil.
Did you try a grow light? And if so how did it work for you? I just bought a gardenia today and have a grow light above it. I was curious as to your experience.
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.

they're sensitive to frost or cold temperature and drafts. if your place is free from cold winds and frost, then yes
Please clone it and plant the clone 🌱

Do we prune off spent blooms and exactly how or just leave them? No one seems to offer this information on gardenias.
Yes u prune off dead flowers or your plant will waste energy making seeds.

How will I know when to repot my gardenia I just purchased? And how much larger should the pot be?
I was advised to use Azalea/Camillia fertilizer at half strength. I found some at 10-8-6. How do I make it half strength?
I live in zone 6, was successful to keep 1 out of 2 through the winter. Last summer both plants bloomed only 2 or 3 flowers during summer. Is that normal?
Thank you for the info. How do you keep your Gardenia house plant from out growing it’s pot? Do you eventually need to plant it in the garden?

Thanks! I've killed one but with all those beautiful blooms I think I'll try again!
Yes! Totally worth another try! She is a bit of a diva - but so worth the extra effort!
Hi, why does a gardenia plant wither ?! Not enough watering?
Hi Daniel, what kind of media do you use to repot gardenia plant?
I got my Gardenia a year ago on sale from Walmart. It had aphids or something when I bought it. I kept spraying it with Neem Oil. It survived a year but now the leaves are wilting drooping lately and am not sure why or what is causing it to do that….
In photography we like "North light" - it's bright, but soft and indirect. Being near north windows that are bright might be good.

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.

when using a humidifier does it matter if it is cool or warm mist?
So you can't put it in a vase of water with sugar in it? I got that from another video
I just got a 6” gardenia yesterday. When watered, all the water just comes out. Now the leaves are drooping. What could be the issue? Thanks
Can please you share a link for a good soil to use for the Gardenia? Thank you!!
Did you found out what soil? It's warm here.
So I didn't know we weren't suppose to soak the roots it was in water for 3 days now 😬 how do i fix a root rot ?
Can I ask how you test the PH for your potted gardenia? I have a PH meter but it isn't working
Thanks, wish me luck
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 bought a beautiful big gardenia plant and I replanted it in bigger pot . It's in outside but not in direct sun light ,after a week all buds droop down then next day it perked up. Now most of the leaves turn yellow. How do save my gardenia
Dose this flower have fruits?
No
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 just got myself a gardenia last week, it was doing great but the last 3 days the leaves started wilting and it keeps getting worse. Any advice?
Hi, I just get one big plant but the pot looks small, can I re-pot it ?
I had bud drop on mine but it’s outdoors I figured out it was to hot and dry I’ve since been giving it more water and it’s full of healthy buds 🙂
I’d have it inside if it wasn’t for my kitties gardenia is toxic for them 😕
Elizabeth Marks-Graham I just took my gardenia in. I live in NJ. I had no idea gardenia is toxic to cats. I put in the office with the door closed but they are curious because it was outside
How is your gardenia doing, do you still have her?
Can’t imagine living in a house at a temperature of 60-62 degrees in winter
omg this is the most dramatic plant ever.. funny the guy who sold it to me gave me all these tips for the other stuff I bought which is flourishing, but not a word about this one that I've been fighting to keep alive for months and hasn't even blossomed once 😂😂
My Gardenia has set tons of buds but they won't bloom?!
what if the bud doesn't bloom

I loved when you said ' You went Full crazy plant lady' that is a must sometimes..lol🩷
Excellent
Nice gardenia
what soil mix do you use?
Your gardenia is yellow,i didnt see this colour of gardenia.....👍
Sheba Sh as blooms age they yellow. Fresh blooms are white.
What does 'growing season' mean? I hear that all the time. But no one clearly defines what that means.
Thank you😊
شكرا لك
Hi I have Gardenia at home its indoor but the buds and the flowers its falling down which is so sad I am pretty sad I don’t know what to do for it? Please anyone can give me any advice 🥺☹️😞😞
why your gardenias are yellow? mine are white.
What do you mean, when your finger comes out "dry with no soil on it"? Dirt will stick to your finger whether it's dusty dry or wet. And if it's so dry that the soil
no longer clings at all, then that means the entire pot is dry, yet the gardenia likes to be moist "at all times" . These instructions are so confusing. Everyone says
it differently, and I am so confused about when to water it that I think I caused mine to dry up. I can't for the life of me figure out any other reason they are drying
up on me. I waited till the soil was dry like you and others have said, to the point where the soil doesn't stay on your finger, but my plants are drying up. SMH So frustrating.
I finally thought I had it figured out with the standard and the bush looking good for so long, and now the bush looks almost dead, and the standard is getting the same symptoms.
It took a long time for me to get the acidity right, and I thought I finally had it figured out. SMH Now they are dying. Surprised you said nothing about the PH of the soil.
Pretty sure you won't see mealybug by looking at the underside of the leaves
Only thing keeping me is that fact it attracts so many pests.
Can you use a grow light to make sure it gets enough light?
Did you try a grow light? And if so how did it work for you? I just bought a gardenia today and have a grow light above it. I was curious as to your experience.
@@terihubert4549 Hey Teri, did the grow light work for you?
62 degrees at night? That’s crazy lol
Please help me
