Gardenias are not the easiest to grow and a lot of people often discard it after flowering. However, they are well worth making an extra effort for! The placement of a Gardenia is key to help them thrive. Select a brightly lit position, but not in the direct sunlight, with a constant temperature above 16C (60F). Avoid positions near to cold draughts and radiators. Water frequently between spring and autumn using tepid rainwater if possible and allow the pot to drain well each time. In winter, reduce the amount of watering but do not let the compost dry out completely. Feed regularly between March and September when they are in active growth. Gardenia appreciates a humid atmosphere so place it on a tray filled with pebbles and water. As the water evaporates it will increase humidity around the plant. Please note: Some houseplants are toxic to pets if ingested, please seek advice from a veterinary professional if you believe it has been consumed. Ensure you take a sample of the plant with you. The size of the plant will differ depending on when in the year it is purchased – visuals are an indication only.
