Gardenia Plant
"We put the "OH!" in Flowers!"

        Gardenia jasminoides or Cape Jasmine with origins to China has glossy deep green leaves. The blooms are white and have that wonderful famous jasmine fragrance.

     Just a word of warning, the gardenia is one of the most desired house plants, however they are very temperamental, loving a sunny,  high humidity environment. They also like cooler nights. Below we have provided you with some valuable care tips.

     Even though these plants are heavily budded, we've added additional flowers making your gardenia exploding with blooms!

Care instructions for my gardenia

LIGHT: Bright indirect light (near any window).

TEMPERATURE: 50 to 82F. Can tolerate 32 without damage.

WATER: Water thoroughly, allowing water to stand in tray, but don't allow roots to continually stand in water. Keep in mind that over watering is a common mistake that can permanently damage your plant.

 HUMIDITY: High (60% or more) Your Italian terracotta will help maintain a proper humidity level by allowing evaporation to take place through the pores of the pot. It is also a good idea to keep water in the tray below the pot. A cool sunroom, bathroom, laundry room, or any other high humidity area in your house would be a good location

SAVING THE PLANTS FOR OUTSIDE: Your Gardenia can be placed outside in the spring in a well lit but shady location. It can remain outside well into  the autumn season until the temperature starts approaching 40 degrees where it must be brought inside.

GETTING MY GARDENIA TO RE-BLOOM: Gardenias need cool nights (50-55 degrees) for the formation of flower buds. Spring and autumn are the perfect time to achieve this.

COMMON PROBLEMS: The most common problem encountered is bud drop. Flower buds abort and drop off just before they open. Common causes include low humidity, over watering, under watering, insufficient light and high temperatures (night temperatures between 50 and 55 ° F are necessary for the formation of flower buds).
