Planting instructions

It is recommended to plant your gardenia in a container to properly protect it from winter damage
Select a container with drainage holes
Water well to thoroughly hydrate the plant
Fill the container with soil to within 4" of the top
Remove the shipping pot and prepare the root ball for planting by gently disturbing the surface roots and pruning damaged roots
Dig a hole in the soil and insert the lower part of the root ball
Once positioned in the pot, begin filling it with soil
Firm the soil around the plant with your fingers; tamp the soil to remove any air pockets
Water well and adjust the plant as necessary so that it is upright

Continuing care

Maintain a consistent watering schedule during the first year; infrequent, long soakings that fully saturate the soil are best
As a rule of thumb, you should not allow the soil or the original root ball to completely dry out
During the first summer, you may need to water as often as every few days in times of drought or intense heat
If the soil is dry 2-3 inches below the surface, it is time to water
Be sure the area around plant has adequate drainage; if you plant in a container, choose one with drainage holes
Yellow leaves indicate the plant is under stress, usually from over- or under-watering
Apply a 2-4" layer of mulch around plants to promote moisture retention, maintain even soil temperatures and discourage weed growth
Remove spent flowers as blooms fade
Prune any dead or unsightly growth as needed to maintain an attractive appearance
Branches than have become overlapped or damaged can be removed at any time

Feeding instructions

Feed your plant once every 2-3 weeks during the growing season with water-soluble fertilizer for acid-loving plants
Discontinue feeding by September 1st to allow plant to harden off for winter dormancy

Winterizing instructions

In mild zones (8-10), gardenias can be planted in the ground
If freezing weather is expected, protect the roots by mounding a 6-8" layer of mulch around the base of the plant
Potted gardenias should be moved into a protected area on exceptionally cold nights
In colder zones (3-7), gardenias should be grown in containers and moved indoors before the first frost or before nighttime temperatures drop below 45 degrees F
Select a room that is bright with a southern-facing window
Boost the humidity around your plant by filling a shallow tray with gravel and water
Keep the water level slightly below the gravel so that the pot is not submerged in water
As the water evaporates, it will create a more humid environment, so that your plant won't dry out while indoors
Watering should be reduced significantly while the plant is indoors
Do not overwater or allow your plant to sit in water
Remove any unsightly or dead growth as needed over the winter
In the spring, when temperatures begin to rise, ease the plant back into a full watering schedule and move it back outdoors for summer

Happy With Purchase

I am impressed with the quality of this plant! It arrived in perfect condition and is doing very well. I was worried when it came as the box was in pretty rough shape thankfully the plant was not damaged.

Healthy

Seems very healthy and may be too soon for an actual opinion. She is certainly green and healthy. I put in a colorful planter and she is growing. No signs of blooms yet but very green and growing so I have high hopes!

Time will tell

Our weather hasn't been the greatest so time will tell how this plant will do once it gets warmer. The packaging was a bit crushed but the plant still looked okay.

Really pleased with this plant !

In the past I have purchased many plants on line from other suppliers which not only died within weeks , they were in bad shape as received . This plant was healthy upon receipt and is still thriving now. I would definitely purchase other plants from this supplier.
