How do I care for it if I keep it outside?

1 Answer

Answer :

Depends on where you live but Gardenias are a bit tempermental especially if you want to keep it as a houseplant.  Gardenias are tropical meaning that their roots cannot freeze or the plant will die.  The soil should be kept moist but not wet and after a month, you should give it a weak solution of a high phosphorous fettilizer once a week.  Make sure the soil is moist before you fertilize to avoid burning the roots. I am a retired horticulturist that specialized in tropical houseplants for over 36 years.
