Hey Safiye. I fed this beauty with some iron and it turned straight up bottle gree. I even recorded the transformation. Would loved if you could have a look at it. Also, I loved your name. So unique that it stands out. 💚 Happy Gardening
Hi Vanessa. Thanks for the comment. I know, our experiences are the best teacher. We must spend time with our plant and understand it's needs and requirements. They certainly bloom with love and affection. Happy Gardening 😊❤️
Thank you for your tips! Your Gardenia plant is BEAUTIFUL and very very healthy! I can't wait to watch more videos. Our August Beauty started blooming and really taking off the past two days! Our first Gardenia! Im really interested in learning more. My best friend told me to mix some coffee grounds in the soil. I love to grow hibiscus plants here too.. bright & peach colors. We live in San Antonio, Texas, United States. REALLY hot and humid here. I believe it is going to be a hot summer for all everywhere. Blessings of safety, love and good/better health to you & your family.
Hey Heather. I am glad that your beauty started blooming. Isn't that the best feeling? Your friend is right, as gardenia (rose, hibiscus, jasmine) enjoy acidic soil so so ahead and add some coffee grounds. These acidic soil loving plants have similar care requirements so you can get some hibiscus too. Just remember to spray the plant with some insecticide to keep the pests away. I have made several videos on the gardenia if you would like to watch them too. Happy Gardening 😊
I have the variegated one. It took forever for bud to bloom. Now its blooming. I got 3 flowers and there are 2-3 on the way. Its the first time its blooming. I have kept it outside in the rain.
Wow, that's awesome. Gardenia blooms are the most satisfying thing ever, for a gardener. Please sure that the soil is not getting alot of rain water as rain water is more on the alkaline side and rain water also leeches the minerals. Let the plant enjoy the humidity and sun 😊 my plant has also produced 4-5 buds and they will bloom in a month I guess 🌱
Thank you for your videos it’s soo informative. However, sometimes I can’t find your video very strange ? For example the Calamondin I have to keep going to my history to watch it. I was wondering if you can make a video of the fertilizer you used for the Calamondin.
Thank you for the lovely comment. It definitely motivates me to make more videos. I add home made tea for plants to maintain the acidity of the soil. I also add alot of used tea leaves (after washing them thoroughly) i add vermicompost. That is the key to get more fruits. Keep it in a sunny spot for ample of sunlight. 😊😊 I think there is some issue with the channel. I will fix it soon
also how do I fertelize it? do I remove the top soil and add compost/fertelizers? or just add it? or do i remove the pant from the pot, remove some soil or not, then add the fertelizer in the bottom directly for the roots?
You don't have to remove the top soil, only till the top soil lightly and add the compost or whichever fertilizer you want to give and water it. Never miss watering after giving fertilizer.
Thank you for this informations I have 2 Gardenia tree one of them don’t bloom and the leaves are all yellow there is not alots of green left and the plants are out side...imagine in side this winter oufff!!!!! My question is do y take out the yellow leafs to help the plant? Please if you can help me with this thank you so much 😊
Hi. I think by "yellow leaves" you mean chlorosis. Have your leaves turned Neon green and you can see the veins? If that's the case then you need to give your plant some chelated iron and within a week your plant will have lush green leaves. If the leaves are yellow then they are just turning old and they will shed automatically. I hope it helped. I am making a video on treating chlorosis so please stay tuned ❤️
I’m seeing somewhere else to check the soil Ph levels and make sure it’s within 5.0-6.0, and to add lime or sulfur to make the solid more alkaline or acidic as needed. My gardenias’ leaves are yellowing, too, and I will check the pH levels on my plants as well.
what about placing one of those glass watering globes into the soil so that just incase you forget to water, its got that extra little bit of water that it can always take from?? Mine sits on a plant rack on the side of my house so it gets morning sun and SOME afternoon light and then thats it. It seems to be doing ok.
@DIYWithDara thanks for the comment ❤️ i have never tried the water globe technique. I am too scared to over water it as they arr highly sensitive. I make surw that i feed it properly and it gets a lot of sunlight. Happy gardening 🤗
Hi friend Looks like your Gardenia might appreciate some iron. My experience with the neon yellow leafing has been from iron deficiency. Solid lemon yellow usually means chlorosis. Not sure if this is the case for your little beauty but you might consider the idea. Thank you for sharing. Your Gardenias are gorgeous 😊
Hi Amy ❤️ Thank you for the tip. I often struggle with this problem. Would you recommend something to handle the neon leaves and chlorosis. I am somehow never able to keep mine happy.. I'd be Grateful if you could share some hacks. Thank you ❤️🌱
@@Living_with_nature omg, I'd love too!!! Fertilizer for acid loving shrubs/flowers and iron supplements. Its super easy. I purchase a bag of each at the garden section from the hardware store. I mix a 50/50 mix in a pot, stir it up and fold it into their soil. I call it their "oatmeal" lol Then water the soil once to twice a week (depending on the temperature of their environment) and mist the leaves daily!! I have a misting bottle I keep by my gardenias and mist them on the way out the door, every morning. For a few dollars, I purchased a "PH reader" thermometer. It slides into the soil and will help you keep track of their ph levels. If soil is to alkaline, they'll have iron deficiency and chlorosis accrues. Once you get the hang of it, maintaining is easy!!
@@Living_with_nature I have 4 different species of Gardenias and they're my babies. I have pictures of products and tools that I use to keep my buds poppin even though the winter.

@@amyrios4910 I would love to see you beautiful gardenias too. There is a lot that we can learn within this small community. I have always struggled with gardenias, would certainly try the hacks you mentioned to keep mine happy🌱😊
Hi. I would like to mention that Gardenia is a heavy feeder. You must give it all the macro n micro nutrients that it requires. You can make compost at home, or compost tea. Or use npk /dap, bone meal /postash
Hey. I suggest that in Dubai, gardenia should be kept in semi shaded area, Where they recieve partial sunlight of 3-4 hours and bright light. Please do not expose it to extreme heat. Keep it with the other plants and keep a pebble tray or a container of water to maintain humidity (use a humidifier if you have one). Gardenias enjoy humidity and warmth so ensure that you are giving both to the plant. Happy gardening. Stay connected 🌱
@@mariadefatima6469 hello Fatima. I am from India, and in some parts are extremely hot. So for plants a humidifier is advised so that the excessive heat doesn't dry them out.
My gardenias stem was broken, we attached a stick and ducttape it all together...do u have ideas to keep it alive bcz it has many flowers and some are blooming
So it depends, if the branch is entirely broken then there is a little possibility that it will survive, but if the brach is only bruised and is partly connected to the plant then most likely it will continue growing.
Mine are growing leaves well but not blooming at all i fertilize it every 2-3 weeks npk , they are getting good sunlight and watering regularly but idk whats the blooming issue
2-3 times a week is too much. Also NPK promotes leaf growth and maintains plant health. For blooms add potash and DAP. Fertilize only once in 2-3 weeks
Thank you for comment. I added 70% garden soil and 30% sand, to make the potting mix porous and well draining. But you must add vermicompost regularly every 20 days as gardenia is a heavy feeder. Happy gardening 😊
my august beauty is dying, she was doing great all summer until august when i skipped watering it one day and all her leaves turned yellow and fell off...what did i do!?! she's completely bare now except for a few little leaves growing on the branches...should i keep her?
Please dont give up on her. She maybe be suffering from under watering shock. But she might recover. Also if she bears new leaves then after a few weeks (not during the winter though) try pruning though, that will produce new branches n she will be bushy again. I really hope that she gets well soon
I have fair amount of sunlight in my balcony like for 3hours. Not direct one as I live in 3rd floor. It has been 18 days that I have brought it after some days it lose it's buds. Now it's growing new leaves not new buds. Should I try artificial light? I haven't used any fertilizer yet. Just using rice water
Consider gardenia as very high maintenance plant. As she is queen Elizabeth herself.. It doesn't require too much care but it doesn't like change one bit.. So now that she was producing buds, and it's location changed, from nursery to your house so the bud drop is normal. Also please note that you are not watering it neither more nor less. Because any unusual activity will make her drop its buds.for more questions please contact me on my Instagram suhasini_lives_plantbased ❤️ I'll be able to help you more with this
Hello how do you deadhead the gardenia? Do you remove just the flower? Do you cut the stem? Do you remove the flower and the flower crown? Please help thanku
@@LouiseGayo hello Louise. Thanks alot for reaching out to me. I remove the spent flower along with the crown. I have personally never trimmed my plant as it isn't very big or bushy. I might do it after the flowering season. You can spray with the neem oil mix or any insecticide /fungicide once a month.
@@Living_with_nature Above pH 7.8 some acid loving plants cannot take up iron from soils even though there's plenty of them in soils. That's why plants get chlorosis, try test your soil pH
@@Kusumavijaya hey got a ph meter, tested my soil, fed it with Chelated Iron and shot its recovery. Check out my latest video and share your thoughts 😊😊
Atleast 3-4 days. Fresh flowers are milky white. After 2 days the flower will start turning slightly yellow, it will still remain fresh and smell amazing.
How long does it take for buds to bloom? I bought my first plant and I really don’t want it to die so I’m now confused about fertilizers just like you are😓.
Hello Saif. I have made a few latest videos on Gardenias, please watch them.they will help you immensely. Also gardenias set their buds in early spring and also in the fall and they take up nearly one - two months before they start blooming
@@saifalkaabi9121 gardenia are easy to care for, once you understand their requirements. It's just that they have a long list of things to be taken for. After years of patience, I finally understood her. Hope you will too❤️❤️
Living with Nature I’m doing my best and I read about it everyday to get to know what ratio of fertilizers it need and I keep searching for acidic soil in the local shops and so on, it’ll be a good experience even if it didn’t success I’ll get another one.
@@saifalkaabi9121 I cannot agree more. I have made almost 10 videos on gardenias and my latest one talks about how to keep the soil acidic. So please check out the latest video.
A really nice video... I have a problem with my plant is tht its not flowering... Growth is really very good. Bushy one.. It gets enough sunlight.. I keep soil moist do not overwater too. Add Epsom salt, vermicompost. Then WHT Cud b the problem.. Can you help me in this..? Thanks in advance..
@aashishamadani thank you. Gardenias are heavy feeders and for all flowering plants a good amount of phosphorus is required. Take a tea spoon of phosphorus and sprinkle it into the pot. Do this every month. You can use bone meal if you want l. Bone meal is super rich in phosphorus and helps plants bloom. Do that to all your plants and they will be happy and blooming.
@@mloml41 thank you for the comment. I bought a plant from the nursery. Honestly i am not aware if gardenia can be grown through seeds. The most common and popular propagation is done through cuttings. Which is fairly easy and successful. Happy gardening ❤️😊
Dear Dionne, your gardenia has chlorosis. You see in the video also some leaves are lighter. Give your plant some iron rich fertilizer and it will be lush green in a few days. I have a video on how to treat chlorosis, you can check it out
@@Living_with_nature I dont think chlorosis is the issue as theres no yellow... it's turning a lighter green and curling. Any suggestions for that? I have currently placed near an eastern window beside my azaleas
Gardenia needs hot and humid environment for growing in a healthy way. It also needs a lot of regular fertilizing. Place your plant in a bright place where it gets 4 hours of morning sun and gets shade in the afternoon but recieves bright in direct light. I have made lots of videos on gardenias, on how to maintain acidic soil, how to fertilize so please watch those videos for more details.
Hey Chatt, if your plant is in a pot then please place the gardenia in a semi shaded place where it receives bright indirect light. If it's growing in the soil in your garden then make sure that you water it thoroughly every morning, so that the plant isn't thirsty during the day when the sun is at its brightest. Gardenias love sun and moisture, so it will survive the summer happily if looked after well.
Gardenia stops blooming due to various reasons. Lack of nutrition, sunlight, irregular watering etc. Please ensure that your plant recieves good amount of sunlight. Do not move your plant too often. Feed it every month. And keep the soil moist but don't over water
@@shalalahcabz4038 every month giver her fertilizer organic or chemical depending on your choice. I have made lots of videos on gardenias. Please check those for more details. 😊
Living with Nature My granddaughter and I made some tea with purple hibiscus, called Rose of Sharon. Do you know it? Also, I didn’t have any lemon, so we used lemon grass. The tea tastes wonderful. It tastes more like lemon though. We had fun. I let her clean the flowers. Then we decided to make jasmine tea, and Then after some research, we made the gardenia tea. The gardenia tea is the best tasting of all three. I have a red double hibiscus, it is just beginning to bloom. (I live in North Florida) Anyway, thank you for your inspiration. Maybe you can try some gardenia tea for your self :)
@@Mrs.Crawford2014 thanks a ton Kimberli for sharing this. I have lots of lemongrass lying in the kitchen 😊 I have tried hibiscus and jasmine but never with gardenias, they are just so pretty that it never occurred to me. Big thanks for the inspiration ❤️❤️ Stay safe
@@shobhajujare6858 gardenia likes bright light, (4-5 hours of morning sun, don't give it afternoon sun if you live in a very hot area) keep the plant in a semi shaded place where it recieves bright light. It will do good
Dear Dhinakar Ji, Gardenia buds take a long time to open. By the end the buds become quite large and you can see the with white color of the flower and then they open. Please be patient and it will award you with beautiful flowers 🌸
Gardenia kafi sensitive plant hai. Khas kar garmi me zada heat aur dry weather ki wajah se. Ap gardenia ko partial sunlight me, thoda shade me rakho. Aur paas me kisi bartan me Paani bhar ke rakh do, taki humidity aur moisture bana rahe plant ke pass. Ap pebble tray bhi rakh rakte ho.
Hello Mam my gardenia plant turning yellow and leaves are burning, lots of leaves coming but turning yellow and burning I really love this plant pls tell me some solution 😞😞😞
Oh!!! That doesn't sound good. I think the plant is recieving excessive sunlight. Try placing it in a semi shaded area where it recieves indirect bright light or morning light. Try not to over water. Water only when the top inch is dry.
Gardenias are one of the most fragrant flowers and are widely used in the perfume industry.. They have a very heavy scent and they quickly fill up the entire space
Hello. Gardenias can be tough sometimes. Make sure you spray the plant with some fungicide or neem oil mixture. Give it sunlight and don't let the soil dry out. Keep it moist but also don't over water.. I hope that solves the problem. You can connect with me on Instagram and share pictures and I'll you more with it. Suhasini_lives_plantbased that's my handle

Thank you for your videos it’s soo informative. However, sometimes I can’t find your video very strange ? For example the Calamondin I have to keep going to my history to watch it. I was wondering if you can make a video of the fertilizer you used for the Calamondin
@@suparnadebnath1535 i use npk 20 20 20, once a month. Half tea spoon in one litre water. Always plant the plants in bigger pots ao that the roots can develop fully
@@sals85 thank you for the lovely comment. It definitely motivates new youtubers like me. I add homemade tea (for plants) to the plant. I have a video on the tea, please check it out. I also add used tea leaves (washed completely, there shouldn't be any milk). The leaves decomposes and work as fertilizer. Add 2 to 3 handful of vermicompost on the the pot. Make sure that you plant the Calamondin into a large pot or directly into soil. And place it into a sunny spot.
Hi mam. My plant leaves are turning yellow and falling down.pls help😭. At the time of purchase, it came in a big pot. Near the roots, there is a small pot with lot of open holes. I thought it is obstructing the root growth. So I removed it from plant.can we keep banana peels, orange peels directly in soil? Will it cause fungus?
Oh, gardenias are normally grown in nurseries and green houses and those small net cups are put there. Due to the disturbance around the root area the plant is in a shock and dropping leaves. Also do not directly put banana and orange peels in the soil. Either boil the banana peels in water and give it to the soil or soak the banana peels in water for 2 days and give that water. Fresh peels will cause fungus. Let the plant come out of shock,this will take a few days (1-2 weeks). If you have Epsom salt, then try giving a pinch of Epsom salt mixed in water to the plant.
Hey Hey, I fed her with some chelated Iron and she is lush green now 💪💚. I shot her recovery video, please have a look, it would mean so much to me 😊Happy Gardening and stay safe 🌱
Hi Suzzane. I check the spoil and when it is dry I water it. If there is still moisture in the soil then I wait for a day or so. Gardenias don't like to sit in the water so just make sure that the first 1 inch of soil is dry before you water it again. A small tip, always water the plant fully, the water should drain out fully. So that all the roots absorb the water fully.🌱
Sorry, but this Gardenia has a nutrient issue. In my experience using only organic fertilizers, won't solve it. Make sure to use a slow release chemical fertilzer, like Osmocote. Gardenias do much more better, with a constant flow of nutients.
Hey Flor. Yes it had chlorosis and I treated it and it turned deep dark green again. I have in fact shared a video about the transformation. th-cam.com/video/hxa5vflc6bQ/w-d-xo.html I hope you will watch it and share your feedback.
Such a gorgeous plant, it could use some iron. I personally use Desert Energy Iron and I think Grow Fast has a product called Iron.

Consider gardenia as very high maintenance plant. As she is queen Elizabeth herself.. It doesn't require too much care but it doesn't like change one bit.. So now that she was producing buds, and it's location changed, from nursery to your house so the bud drop is normal. Also please note that you are not watering it neither more nor less. Because any unusual activity will make her drop its buds.for more questions please contact me on my Instagram suhasini_lives_plantbased ❤️ I'll be able to help you more with this
Hello how do you deadhead the gardenia? Do you remove just the flower? Do you cut the stem? Do you remove the flower and the flower crown? Please help thanku
Also, when do I spray it with neem oil? Every 7 days or every 7th day of the month? Thank you so much!!!!
@@LouiseGayo hello Louise. Thanks alot for reaching out to me. I remove the spent flower along with the crown. I have personally never trimmed my plant as it isn't very big or bushy. I might do it after the flowering season. You can spray with the neem oil mix or any insecticide /fungicide once a month.
Thanks
You are always welcome
Beautiful! Needs a little iron.
Thank you. I'm desperately searching for some chelated iron. Can you suggest some hacks? 💚 Would appreciate it alot 😊
@@Living_with_nature Above pH 7.8 some acid loving plants cannot take up iron from soils even though there's plenty of them in soils. That's why plants get chlorosis, try test your soil pH
@@Kusumavijaya hey, thanks alot. I'm getting a ph meter to save this Beaty ❤️
Hey Stanford, I treated the gardenia and shot its amazing recovery in my latest video. Do check it out and share your thoughts 😊
@@Kusumavijaya hey got a ph meter, tested my soil, fed it with Chelated Iron and shot its recovery. Check out my latest video and share your thoughts 😊😊
After the blooms turn yellow what should I do to get more blooms thanks !
Yes, you can remove the blooms.
Although wait till the flower turns really shriveled up. As gardenias lasts for a few days
How many days the flower will stand in that plant?
Atleast 3-4 days. Fresh flowers are milky white. After 2 days the flower will start turning slightly yellow, it will still remain fresh and smell amazing.
just planted 5 or 6 out front 1 has bloomed and couple getting ready
Wow. It's one of the best moments. Even mine are ready to bloom😘😘
How long does it take for buds to bloom? I bought my first plant and I really don’t want it to die so I’m now confused about fertilizers just like you are😓.
Hello Saif. I have made a few latest videos on Gardenias, please watch them.they will help you immensely. Also gardenias set their buds in early spring and also in the fall and they take up nearly one - two months before they start blooming
Living with Nature thank you so muuchhh 🌹
@@saifalkaabi9121 gardenia are easy to care for, once you understand their requirements. It's just that they have a long list of things to be taken for. After years of patience, I finally understood her. Hope you will too❤️❤️
Living with Nature I’m doing my best and I read about it everyday to get to know what ratio of fertilizers it need and I keep searching for acidic soil in the local shops and so on, it’ll be a good experience even if it didn’t success I’ll get another one.
@@saifalkaabi9121 I cannot agree more. I have made almost 10 videos on gardenias and my latest one talks about how to keep the soil acidic. So please check out the latest video.
Could you please tell me the name of the compost you use?
Hi Melinda, I used organic compost, which is available at any local nursery. Any organic matter would do the job
A really nice video... I have a problem with my plant is tht its not flowering... Growth is really very good. Bushy one.. It gets enough sunlight.. I keep soil moist do not overwater too. Add Epsom salt, vermicompost. Then WHT Cud b the problem.. Can you help me in this..? Thanks in advance..
@aashishamadani thank you. Gardenias are heavy feeders and for all flowering plants a good amount of phosphorus is required. Take a tea spoon of phosphorus and sprinkle it into the pot. Do this every month. You can use bone meal if you want l. Bone meal is super rich in phosphorus and helps plants bloom. Do that to all your plants and they will be happy and blooming.
Did you plant from seed? If so it can take a couple of seasons to flower three at most
@@mloml41 thank you for the comment. I bought a plant from the nursery. Honestly i am not aware if gardenia can be grown through seeds. The most common and popular propagation is done through cuttings. Which is fairly easy and successful. Happy gardening ❤️😊
Can u suggest a perfect soil mix for gardenia
GARDEN SOIL 50% + 25% SAND +25% COMPOST.
Keep fertilizing every month or 45days with a rich fertilizer.
@@Living_with_nature have u tried using cinder instead of sand ?
Wow are you growing your gardenia inside?
Yes, indoors. Next to a very sunny spot
Part of my gardenia is dark green but the other one looks light and wrinkled... not sure what to do
Dear Dionne, your gardenia has chlorosis. You see in the video also some leaves are lighter. Give your plant some iron rich fertilizer and it will be lush green in a few days. I have a video on how to treat chlorosis, you can check it out
@@Living_with_nature I dont think chlorosis is the issue as theres no yellow... it's turning a lighter green and curling. Any suggestions for that? I have currently placed near an eastern window beside my azaleas
Beautiful boht pyara information please stay in touch 😁
Sb you dn
Shukriya! Muje bohot khushi hai ki apko mera video pasand aya 😊
Videos aate rehte hai, ap dekhte rahiyega
My variegated gardenia is not producing flowers, not even buds, plz suggest 🙏🙏🙏
Gardenia needs hot and humid environment for growing in a healthy way. It also needs a lot of regular fertilizing. Place your plant in a bright place where it gets 4 hours of morning sun and gets shade in the afternoon but recieves bright in direct light. I have made lots of videos on gardenias, on how to maintain acidic soil, how to fertilize so please watch those videos for more details.
@@Living_with_nature I have given a lots of cow dung , is it okay🙄
@@bishalkumar_ if you have put decomposed cow dung then it should work well. You can give vermicompost or mustard cake fertilizer
The leaves of my gardenia is getting dry because of the heat of the sun, can it survive? What will I do?
Hey Chatt, if your plant is in a pot then please place the gardenia in a semi shaded place where it receives bright indirect light. If it's growing in the soil in your garden then make sure that you water it thoroughly every morning, so that the plant isn't thirsty during the day when the sun is at its brightest. Gardenias love sun and moisture, so it will survive the summer happily if looked after well.
@@Living_with_nature thank you so much for your advise😊
@@chattreyes247 my pleasure. I'm so glad that you liked the video
What brand of potash do you use
I just brought it from amazon. Nothing special.
Приветик. Спасибо за видео. У вашей гардении хлороз. Чтобы его вылечить поменяйте грунт на более кислый. Кислый грунт помогает усваивать железо.
My Gardenia plant is not produce even leaves. Please help me in this matter. I will be highly obliged to you for this help. Thanks.
Fertilize you gardenia every month with organic fertilizer and provide enough sunshine, the plant will be healthy
Why does my gardenia don't bloom and the leaves are falling.. what should i do? Any help?
Gardenia stops blooming due to various reasons. Lack of nutrition, sunlight, irregular watering etc.
Please ensure that your plant recieves good amount of sunlight. Do not move your plant too often. Feed it every month. And keep the soil moist but don't over water
@@Living_with_nature i put with other plants and shes near the window for sunlight. Do i need to put fertilizer?
@@shalalahcabz4038 every month giver her fertilizer organic or chemical depending on your choice.
I have made lots of videos on gardenias. Please check those for more details. 😊
Can you make tea with gardenias?
Hey Kimberli, I haven't personally tried that but gardenia aren't toxic so I guess Tea can be made.
Living with Nature My granddaughter and I made some tea with purple hibiscus, called Rose of Sharon. Do you know it? Also, I didn’t have any lemon, so we used lemon grass. The tea tastes wonderful. It tastes more like lemon though. We had fun. I let her clean the flowers.
Then we decided to make jasmine tea, and Then after some research, we made the gardenia tea. The gardenia tea is the best tasting of all three.
I have a red double hibiscus, it is just beginning to bloom. (I live in North Florida)
Anyway, thank you for your inspiration. Maybe you can try some gardenia tea for your self :)
@@Mrs.Crawford2014 thanks a ton Kimberli for sharing this. I have lots of lemongrass lying in the kitchen 😊 I have tried hibiscus and jasmine but never with gardenias, they are just so pretty that it never occurred to me. Big thanks for the inspiration ❤️❤️ Stay safe
Gardenia are great plants. Can we be friends??
Welcome to the Family 💚
How do I fix underwatering?
I suppose you can water it moderately. But be mindful that water only when u see that the top soil is dry
Mam acidic soil shall I give coffee powder, if yes how to give pl suggest
Take 1 litre water, mix 1. 5tea spoon of coffee powder. Give this water to your plants
@@Living_with_nature Thku mam, shall I put in full sunlight or little shaded
@@shobhajujare6858 gardenia likes bright light, (4-5 hours of morning sun, don't give it afternoon sun if you live in a very hot area) keep the plant in a semi shaded place where it recieves bright light. It will do good
@@Living_with_nature very helpful advise. Thku mam
I have buds in my gardenia...but it is not at all opening... it's been 2 weeks since I bought it with a budd
Dear Dhinakar Ji, Gardenia buds take a long time to open. By the end the buds become quite large and you can see the with white color of the flower and then they open. Please be patient and it will award you with beautiful flowers 🌸

Mam hamara Gardenia Ka plant chal Nahi raha .plz tell
Gardenia kafi sensitive plant hai. Khas kar garmi me zada heat aur dry weather ki wajah se. Ap gardenia ko partial sunlight me, thoda shade me rakho. Aur paas me kisi bartan me Paani bhar ke rakh do, taki humidity aur moisture bana rahe plant ke pass. Ap pebble tray bhi rakh rakte ho.
Hello Mam my gardenia plant turning yellow and leaves are burning, lots of leaves coming but turning yellow and burning I really love this plant pls tell me some solution 😞😞😞
Oh!!! That doesn't sound good. I think the plant is recieving excessive sunlight. Try placing it in a semi shaded area where it recieves indirect bright light or morning light. Try not to over water. Water only when the top inch is dry.
Thx for reply
@@shaliniupadhyay7886 you are most welcome. I hope your gardenia gets healthy soon
Madam, I aspire that wholesome thoughts occur to
you so as to get the most of your gardenia
flowers while they remain on twigs.
☺️ thank you.flowers look prettiest on the plants so it's best that they spend the maximum time on the plant
is that flower smell fragrant?
Gardenias are one of the most fragrant flowers and are widely used in the perfume industry.. They have a very heavy scent and they quickly fill up the entire space
This flower another name asian Jasmin / Mogra?
Thx
@@spring_ideas hello. This is gardenia or cape jasmine. It belongs to the jasmine family but it is very different from the mogra flower.
@@Living_with_nature ok thank you but flowers smell like mogra ? Because i love mogra smell
Thanks
@@spring_ideas the gardenias smells 10 times more than mogras. The smell is extremely good and heavy
How many colours r there
Gardenia comes in shades of off white and yellow.
From which country you belongs to ?
India
Buds of my gardenia are falling off inspite of taking so much care.
Hello. Gardenias can be tough sometimes. Make sure you spray the plant with some fungicide or neem oil mixture. Give it sunlight and don't let the soil dry out. Keep it moist but also don't over water.. I hope that solves the problem. You can connect with me on Instagram and share pictures and I'll you more with it. Suhasini_lives_plantbased that's my handle

Thank you for your videos it’s soo informative. However, sometimes I can’t find your video very strange ? For example the Calamondin I have to keep going to my history to watch it.
I was wondering if you can make a video of the fertilizer you used for the Calamondin
@@suparnadebnath1535 i use npk 20 20 20, once a month. Half tea spoon in one litre water. Always plant the plants in bigger pots ao that the roots can develop fully
@@sals85 thank you for the lovely comment. It definitely motivates new youtubers like me. I add homemade tea (for plants) to the plant. I have a video on the tea, please check it out. I also add used tea leaves (washed completely, there shouldn't be any milk). The leaves decomposes and work as fertilizer. Add 2 to 3 handful of vermicompost on the the pot. Make sure that you plant the Calamondin into a large pot or directly into soil. And place it into a sunny spot.
Hi mam. My plant leaves are turning yellow and falling down.pls help😭. At the time of purchase, it came in a big pot. Near the roots, there is a small pot with lot of open holes. I thought it is obstructing the root growth. So I removed it from plant.can we keep banana peels, orange peels directly in soil? Will it cause fungus?
Oh, gardenias are normally grown in nurseries and green houses and those small net cups are put there.
Due to the disturbance around the root area the plant is in a shock and dropping leaves.
Also do not directly put banana and orange peels in the soil. Either boil the banana peels in water and give it to the soil or soak the banana peels in water for 2 days and give that water. Fresh peels will cause fungus.
Let the plant come out of shock,this will take a few days (1-2 weeks). If you have Epsom salt, then try giving a pinch of Epsom salt mixed in water to the plant.
Your gardenia needs some iron. See the yellowing with the dark veins?
Hey Hey, I fed her with some chelated Iron and she is lush green now 💪💚. I shot her recovery video, please have a look, it would mean so much to me 😊Happy Gardening and stay safe 🌱
Such a difficult plant to work with
Lol!!! I swear! I have a love - hate relationship with this one 🥲
please show your finger when you shud water
Hi Suzzane. I check the spoil and when it is dry I water it. If there is still moisture in the soil then I wait for a day or so. Gardenias don't like to sit in the water so just make sure that the first 1 inch of soil is dry before you water it again. A small tip, always water the plant fully, the water should drain out fully. So that all the roots absorb the water fully.🌱
Sorry, but this Gardenia has a nutrient issue. In my experience using only organic fertilizers, won't solve it. Make sure to use a slow release chemical fertilzer, like Osmocote. Gardenias do much more better, with a constant flow of nutients.
Hey, I did :-) transformed this beauty in lush bottle green. This video is from it's chlorosis days which are thankfully behind us.
This plant has chlorosis. It needs iron.
Hey Flor. Yes it had chlorosis and I treated it and it turned deep dark green again. I have in fact shared a video about the transformation. th-cam.com/video/hxa5vflc6bQ/w-d-xo.html
