Instructions
Top Tip
Gardenias thrive in humid environments. To maintain humidity, consider misting the leaves or placing a humidifier nearby.
How to Water
Water Gardenias deeply and consistently, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Avoid overwatering, as they are sensitive to root rot. During dry spells, water more frequently but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
How to Plant
Plant Gardenias in well-draining, acidic soil with a slightly acidic pH. Choose a location with partial to full sun and dig a hole about twice the size of the root ball. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
