Caring Tips:-

1. Light and Location: Place your Gardenia in indirect, bright light. It prefers sunlight in the morning and shade in the afternoon.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use room-temperature, distilled water to prevent mineral buildup.
3. Soil: Use well-draining, acidic soil rich in organic matter. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and pine bark works well.
4. Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, acidic fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 2-4 weeks. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
5. Pruning: Trim dead or yellowing leaves and spent flowers to encourage new growth. Prune after the blooming season.
