This was a great video, lots of information to help me grow my Gardenia in Texas. I bought two from Lowe and they are now 9 months old and made it through the texas crazy winter ups and downs season. I left mine outside my back patio and almost forgot about them but they are thriving.
Wow great. In Texas you don't have to worry too much prune the center branches if it gets too cluttered you want air to freely move around the plant and water and fertilize
Thank you for the video! I got my first gardenia for mothers day and its struggling a little bit. You were very informative and I'm heading out right now to properly tend to it. Thanks again!!
Thank you for this informative tutorial! My husband bought me a gardenia bush and a gardenia tree for mother's day this year. You are so confident with how you handle yours and I am so anxious! 🙂 I have both inside in a sunny location and hope I don't end up killing them!
Thank you so much for this video! I’m in Philly, just purchased my first house and gardenia plant - it has that powdery residue with holes. I think something is eating it. I will be spraying it with a little dish detergent and water solution. Wish me luck and thank you again!!!
Believe me when I say I rarely give comment but this time I will-- Because you don't have any idea how helpful, practical, and straight forward this tutorial video is to me and my wife. We just planted Gardenia, Cananga odorata, Magnolia x alba, Murraya paniculata. Yet, we lack the knowledge to make them grow bigger and healthier. Thus, we searched a lot of videos but mostly are theoretical without any actual practice, but yours are what we've been looking for these past few weeks! Please do make more tutorial videos on how to maintain any other plants (Preferably those fragrant plants). Warm hugs from Indonesia.
Blessings to you, very informative, best Gardena video on the net,Thank you for your time and knowledge. I had no idea they weren't to be babied so much, I will always treat it kindly but be more hands on with her.
Greatest video on gardenias. Just blindly purchased the smaller versions (3 Jubilation and 3 Scent-Amazing) from Home Depot. I have each in a container that's out in the direct hot hot west sun from about 2pm-7pm in zone 8a/b on the patio. Hope they survive. Your detailed instructions were greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you
I’m so happy that I found your video. I just bought a august beauty gardenia and I’m not sure where I should plant it. Some have said it does well in all day sun (I’m in NC)but I’m afraid to kill it. I’m new at this, LOL …After watching your video I’ll be putting it in a large pot. Thanks again… new subscriber ✨
I have four gardenias. I purchased them from Home Depot years ago. I love them in my zone 7a garden. They do well outdoors over the winter except this past winter. We received 10 inches of snow therefore I had to cut back the plant. But it always grows back well. Great information! New friend.
Wow for your first video it’s an exceptional job! Ur a natural! Thanks for all the tips. Can’t wait to incorporate on my own gardenia. Hoping this one won’t die. (Killed my first 2 or 3) now going about it the smart way- education first 👆
This UA-cam has been a life saver for me so many good people share their knowledge so I decided to do it to to contribute to goodness of humanity lol good luck with the plant Gardenias are beautiful plants
Well my friend, if your Gardenia shows yellow leaves, jagged edges or black holes, than the cause of this issue generally is a lack of nutrients. Make sure you're using a quality slow release chemical fertilzer, like Osmocote 14/14/14, that comes with all micros. Once they are well feeded, gardênias rarely develop yellow leaves.
Gardenias actually develop yellow leaves not long before they flower. Also the PH is super important, because if it's not at the right acidity , it can't absorb the nutrients. I am having to use one with chelated minerals in it now because the place I got it from did not maintain the acidity in the potting soil. I hope this helps it, because it doesn't seem to be working at the moment, (it might have root rot too!) and I can't get the soil to stay at the right PH, even using aluminum sulfate - it corrected it, but a week later the PH was back to 7!
Love your video, lots of good info, I just purchased my first gardenia Amiee from home depot, I love itsbeauty and fragrance, l wanted to buy it a few years ago, but scare that its hard to take care, but finally I bought , I live in zone 5 Toronto, I am so glad that I saw this video, I learned a lot, thank you so much! 😊 I have a question, how do you take the big plant out to change the soil? What sean do you re soil it?
Thank you for this great video. I was nervous about caring for my newly acquired gardenia plant. Your plants are beautiful. I will definitely try to grow mine as beautiful as yours. I live in Miami so I know that I have the tropical weather for it 😃
Thank you for the advice & great video, it's giving me big hopes. This is the second time I'm trying, with a bigger tree. Last year my little tree did well outside, but once I brought it in for the winter, the leaves started to fall down & died. Your gardenia trees are inspirational❤
I will prune my Gardenia before I take it indoor, as you suggested. How often do you water once you bring it inside in the Fall? Do you also use a humidifier in the room?
Reza, I took my tree in last week as the weather is getting cold at night in Toronto. The tree has grown a lot and lots of buds for the past month. Every branch I want to prune has a flower bud. Do I wait until the flower is spent, then prune? So far so good, nothing is dropping and I water on Wed & Sun.
@@Miko62642 that is great u doing good job yes that is what I would do, might as well enjoy the scent that is why we love this plant keep en eye out for white powdery stuff on leaves during the winter
When I moved here, the property had six huge gardenias (10x15)but I just thought they were wild bushes out there until they bloomed... now four years later, they look like they are all dying and full of black leaves and not very many flowers this year... I hope I can save them. Would you suggest I cut them all way down? I have never touched them. I thought they were all natural. :(
Your Gardenias look amazing! Nitrogen deficiency is what I was told by a professional, that when the leaf is all yellow like that it's nitrogen deficiency. They say that if it has green veins and the rest yellow, it's iron deficiency. But I am having a heck of a time trying to keep my soil acidic.. I bought them at Home Depot and the soil was already neutral and it had a couple all yellow leaves - but after I brought it home, it got even more all yellow leaves! I have treated the PH issue, but it's not staying stable... which is the biggest reason probably for the iron deficiency, because it can't take up enough iron if the PH isn't right, unless you use a chelated iron.. Well I bought a acid type plant food that has chelated nutrients and I fed the plants... and then they developed even more yellow leaves! Anyway without going into everything, it may have root issues. I hope not, and I gave it the chelated mineral plant food because it CAN absorb that even with the soil at the wrong PH. BUT the plant food I gave it does not have magnesium, and that can also turn the leaves yellow. I still have a lot of research to do.. but can you tell me how you managed to keep the soil at the right PH when you had to repot it? Because it seems most potting soil, even those that claim they are for acid loving plants, are a neutral PH aroudn 7 which is not good for Gardenias. I would really like to hear what you do for it when you repot so that the soil PH stays between 5.5 and 6,. or if you are not correcting the PH, what you are doing that your Gardenias look so healthy and have so few yellow leaves. Also... can you specify how you know how much water to give them when you do water them? I have it in a soil that seems well draining enough, but now I am considering repotting in an alleged cactus mix, but if you put too much water even a well draining soil (the cactus blend) seems to still get soggy (I tested it in my sink) So how do you water it? How do you know when you have given it enough water? Are you using rain water? Or just relying on the acidic plant foods with chelated minerals to make sure it can absorb the iron and other nutrients it needs? Any insight you can give is realy appreciated.
I buy and care for plant to enjoy and relief stress. Make it easy for yourself . Remove yellow leaves All The Time Prune so the plant allows more air flow through it you want to he able to see the other side while looking through the plant Water with regular tap water Water every 4 days if indoor If outdoor water more frequently if no rain Only water when the soil is nearly dry to touch Fertilize with miracle grow once every 3 month if indoor
I think the all yellow leaves were because it rained after I watered, and they got too wet and it flushed nitrogen out of the soil. The tree form gardenias are struggling (they also got spider mites and sadly I sprayed with insecticidal soap and they did not like that. If I knew I could just spray the mites off with water I woukd have just done that but I disn’t know). But the gardenia bush I have looks great , so I suspect its just been the unfortunate overwatering and the wrong PH. Using the acid loving miracle grow with chelated minerals seems to be helping the bush, while I wait for the sulfur I added to correct the PH of the soil
@@rezasaba1602 I water when the top inch or two is dry and my bush gardenia is happy with that. I amnot pruning it as it has very good air flow. I figured out what the problems were, so hopefully the topiary ones will recover and the bush will stay nice
Wow! You have beautiful gardenia’s! Such good information and the most helpful I’ve seen. I subbed because of this. How long does it take usually for those cuttings to get roots?
Yes the do remove bottom leaves leave few leaves on top of the cutting place in water and wait until roots appear then plant in miracle grow potting soil thanx for watching
Jon Thanx for watching Not sure which clip you watched am not good at Youtubing as you can tell LOL However any question you have that I can answer am all ears
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. If the leaves drop and the branch seems to be drying out, do we trim it back? If so, do we trim it all the way back to the main stalk?
I purchased a gardenia a year ago. I live in zone 7B high desert but I take the plant inside during the winter time. It loses its leaves a lot and we are now in the 90's, its outside in its pot, but half of it is bare. Never has flowered, I feed it coffee grounds and seaweed extract. Can you help?
Hi high desert Maybe the soil is not well balanced , not knowing the condition of the soil and how much water you give it what 9 suggest is getting a bag of Miracle Grow Potting soil and either replace the soil or compliment the existing soil with New soil also make sure the soil is not too compacted around the plant should be fluffy and do like i do with all plants once In a while add some coffee grounds not all the time Good luck and let us know how the plant is doing in the future
Hi I just purchased my first Gardenia. I’m in zone 8a. I noticed you have your plants in sun do they get shade in the afternoon? How much sun do you recommend for them? Thank you for your tips your plant is beautiful 😍
Sun and shade, make sure it gets water, if the leaves begin to wilt then its time for water better not let them get to that point water every other day till you get the rhythm Thanx for watching
Adriana thanx for watching , I just know it as Gardenia Tree it has white flowers as you see I used a Well compost soil mixed some sandy soil make sure the soil drains well . No Clay Silty soil as they dont drain well To be safe use Miracle grow planting soil type or equivalent brand
Hi I just purchased my gardenia, I live in Yonkers and the buds are falling off. After the buds fall am I supposed to leave it alone or cut where they fell off? I think what's happening is that the temperature is fluctuating a lot, one day it's in the 70s and today is in the 40s.
Thank you for the video. How can I revive my gardenia? I am in zone 8--Georgia. I'm so tired of buying them and then they just died out on me. I have been purchasing from Home Depot
Gardenias need care , in form of watering in timely intervals , and feeding with regular fertilizer , I use miracle grow . There are different variety of Gardenias . the ones I have seen for sale at Home Depot are short and have lots of flower on them . If you have not done so , when you buy a Gardenias from a store , I suggest repotting it in a bigger pot , with good potting soil , prune the branches so AIR can get in and around the plant , you don't want the plants branches and leaves too bunched up Watch my other video regarding the pruning and Spraying . Prune the center branches so you can see through the plant . Water once every 4 days half gallon per 10 gallon pot. make sure your pot has a drain hole at the bottom .
Hi I just purchased my first Gardenia I’m in zone 8a I noticed that you have your plants out in the sun so they stay in the sun all day or do they get shade. How many hours of sun do you recommend for them?
No Generaly the dried up socket after the flower is wilted will fall off if you pick them off I dont see any issues for the tree since the flower is dead as a general rule anything that is not Green on the plant I would remove
Hi, I have three gardenias but the flower before opening fall. At the end of it is black, at first I thought is a king of fungus so buy Garden Phos but after time the same issue continues. Will you know why? Thank you in advance! Note: I prune my plants at the beginning of spring.
I have experienced the same, make sure the plants are getting water every 4 to 5 days, if you see leaves or buds wilting (hanging down) it could be a lack of water, give them plant food, Miracle Grow once every couple of months. also, poke the soil around the plant to make sure air and water, and food can get down into the soil (aerating)
Yes, bring them in the house . The Gardenias DO NOT stand any sort of FROST. just regular light from a window will do , water as needed , plant will flower and stay green during the winter indoor condition
Based on Google Zone 7A is coastal from Georgia to Long Island NY If it is a young plant you should water during the summer twice a week keep checking the leaves if they wilted water a bit more I guess being close to ocean you are in sandy soil which is good. Once a every 3 to 4 weeks give it some plant food miracle grow. Good luck thanx for watching
Make sure to water every 4 days or so like Half gallon ifvits inside plant in the pot , dropping is usualy associated with thirst Also fertilize with miracle grow once every 3 months
Mines buds are turning brown. It looks bad. I dont know what to do to fix them. I just bought them a month ago. They are not potted. They are in ground. I am in zone 9.
@@audreymai2773 you can buy Potting soil from garden center near you , or just make sure the soil is not clay type and or too compacted Loose soil Dont over water once every 3 days is enough in summer
Sparks Dish soap and water and soak them good take emm outside if you can then and Spary with insecticides IT'S AN oily liquid you mix with water and spary Hope is not too late
1 make sure the plant gets enough water 2 make sure the plant is pruned properly to many leaves an branches bunched up does not allow for air flow and nutrients to get to the buds 3 fertilize with miracle grow once per month 4 remove all yellow leaves or damaged leaves Good luck
I use Miracle grow tivos available in United States They add Iron due to yellow leaves I belive When I get Yellow leaves I just remove them Fertilize once every month dont do too much
It depends if you have it in a large pot poke the the soil to about 6 inches deep to get air into the soil Aearate it, if the Roots are very compact and massive like mine was I changed the soil broke up the roots and put new soil I think every 4 years replacing the soil would be ok if the plant is not doing well
My first guess is Too.much Water , 2nd Fertilizer Arevyoubgettingvlotsbofvrain ? Are you or have you fertilized this summer I fertilize outdoor plants at least twice in spring and summer 2 to 3 months apart also depends on your type of soil Many factors Bugs can cause havoc as well
Pay attention to watering dont let plant dry out the soil should be moist , some sites advise lack of Iron causes the yellowing of leaves . On hot summer days water everyday and make sure the soil drains well
Add 1 tablespoon of WHITE vinegar to 1 gallon of water. That should do the trick! For years I would buy a gardenia and have the same thing happen. The water just needs to be a bit more acidic. I learned this on google. My gardenia tree has been doing great. Very few yellow leaves and like this guy says I just pull them off.
I’m afraid it’s the size of your plant Reza! If roots are uneasy you’ll begin to see awkward things such as deformation or constant yellowing. It also prefers partal shade no direct sunlight. As for the powdery substance I think you referred to mildew. It happens if your plant is exposed to constant wet days or you probably wash it sometimes! Allowing air flow in like you mentioned is number one fix for it not happening again but again.. the main reason it happens is too much humidity for mildew is a fungal plant disease. You can throw a plastic bag if branches can not be helped so they wouldn’t catch raindrops (flowers by the way should never be touched by water at all it will cause them to brown easily and turn ugly) then as soon as rain stops uncover and allow air to dry it. Pruning to allow air flow in is a good idea! I’m actually amazed how you still had it going all those years with all the picking and cutting you seem to enjoy practising on the sweet Gardenia! It’s so forgiving.😄 It realises you mean well! It is dificult for Gardenia to survive a wet environment but not impossible so .. Bravooo!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@hana.the.writer5074firstly Thanx for the info . Crowding of roots could be an issue I will pay attention to it . My plants are even bigger now a year later Yellowing of leaves is just a way for us to take care of the plant I guess. lol The white powder stuff is definitely some sort of plant parasite which I have taken care of it with both Soap and water mist and Insecticide. This plant Loves direct sun light. It lives on Sun and Water lol This plant keeps ya on your toes . I recently infused honey with the flower petals of my plant and itvis delicious
I've noticed that gardenias are super sensitive to changing position, repotting etc. Maybe it's best to get one in winter when its dormant and then when you find the right spot for it, try to make it its permanent spot rather than moving the plant around. Goodluck.
Not sure what you mean by Zone 9 and a half ? Zone 9 is the southern part of United States Such as Florida all the way to Southern California Very good climate to grow Gardenias all year round outdoor
@@rezasaba1602 Yes Gardenia is my favorite go to also Hibiscus. And after watching I figured that yes Florida (being zone 9 n half) mid way is ideal. Thank you for your tips and instruction.
Make sure when you water you dont water the blood and or flower I notice it makes them wilt and brown also rain water foes the same Also fertilise every 3 weeks or so with Miracle Grow
Yes it needs attention Specially when u have to bring them inside for winter they are very heavy However the scent of the flowers make up for the pain lol
The yellow leaves are a nutrient deficiency: ua-cam.com/video/cwZGzk6RHaY/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared Great video, I'm struggling right now to take care of a potted Gardenia, hopefully your video will help 😂
The video photographer is awesome in this clip

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. If the leaves drop and the branch seems to be drying out, do we trim it back? If so, do we trim it all the way back to the main stalk?
I cut any branch that looks dead to the main branch, make sure you fertilize with miracle grow once a month too
Can you show how you prune a detailed video? You are funny great tips!
I will iam eding the pruning video as we speak

I purchased a gardenia a year ago. I live in zone 7B high desert but I take the plant inside during the winter time. It loses its leaves a lot and we are now in the 90's, its outside in its pot, but half of it is bare. Never has flowered, I feed it coffee grounds and seaweed extract. Can you help?
Hi high desert
Maybe the soil is not well balanced , not knowing the condition of the soil and how much water you give it what 9 suggest is getting a bag of Miracle Grow Potting soil and either replace the soil or compliment the existing soil with New soil also make sure the soil is not too compacted around the plant should be fluffy and do like i do with all plants once In a while add some coffee grounds not all the time Good luck and let us know how the plant is doing in the future
Hi I just purchased my first Gardenia. I’m in zone 8a. I noticed you have your plants in sun do they get shade in the afternoon? How much sun do you recommend for them? Thank you for your tips your plant is beautiful 😍
Sun and shade, make sure it gets water, if the leaves begin to wilt then its time for water better not let them get to that point water every other day till you get the rhythm Thanx for watching
What Gardenia it’s this Augusta … and please show what soil you use
Please
Adriana thanx for watching , I just know it as Gardenia Tree it has white flowers as you see I used a Well compost soil mixed some sandy soil make sure the soil drains well . No Clay Silty soil as they dont drain well
To be safe use Miracle grow planting soil type or equivalent brand
Hi I just purchased my gardenia, I live in Yonkers and the buds are falling off. After the buds fall am I supposed to leave it alone or cut where they fell off? I think what's happening is that the temperature is fluctuating a lot, one day it's in the 70s and today is in the 40s.
Keep it inside and gradually take out make sure the soil is moist not wet also Give it good soaking of Miracle Grow
Sun and shade area is ok for it
Thank you for the video. How can I revive my gardenia? I am in zone 8--Georgia. I'm so tired of buying them and then they just died out on me. I have been purchasing from Home Depot
Gardenias need care , in form of watering in timely intervals , and feeding with regular fertilizer , I use miracle grow . There are different variety of Gardenias . the ones I have seen for sale at Home Depot are short and have lots of flower on them . If you have not done so , when you buy a Gardenias from a store , I suggest repotting it in a bigger pot , with good potting soil , prune the branches so AIR can get in and around the plant , you don't want the plants branches and leaves too bunched up Watch my other video regarding the pruning and Spraying . Prune the center branches so you can see through the plant . Water once every 4 days half gallon per 10 gallon pot. make sure your pot has a drain hole at the bottom .
@@rezasaba1602 Thank you. i will fight to bring Mrs. G back to life, LOL
Hi I just purchased my first Gardenia I’m in zone 8a I noticed that you have your plants out in the sun so they stay in the sun all day or do they get shade. How many hours of sun do you recommend for them?
no more than 6 hours of full sun, then place your plant in a sunny place inside your house
What about spider mites
Reza, do you prune off the flower sockets after the flower is done?
No Generaly the dried up socket after the flower is wilted will fall off if you pick them off I dont see any issues for the tree since the flower is dead as a general rule anything that is not Green on the plant I would remove
Hi, I have three gardenias but the flower before opening fall. At the end of it is black, at first I thought is a king of fungus so buy Garden Phos but after time the same issue continues. Will you know why?
Thank you in advance!
Note: I prune my plants at the beginning of spring.
I have experienced the same, make sure the plants are getting water every 4 to 5 days, if you see leaves or buds wilting (hanging down) it could be a lack of water, give them plant food, Miracle Grow once every couple of months. also, poke the soil around the plant to make sure air and water, and food can get down into the soil (aerating)
Do you water them on winter time? and you just put them in the garage ?
sorry for the late response just saw it , yes water in winter make sure in winter the plant does not freeze due to cold
Do you take the plants inside in the winter time?! What kind of light do you get it?!
Yes, bring them in the house . The Gardenias DO NOT stand any sort of FROST. just regular light from a window will do , water as needed , plant will flower and stay green during the winter indoor condition
How often to water plants if they're in the ground? I'm in zone 7A.
Based on Google Zone 7A is coastal from Georgia to Long Island NY
If it is a young plant you should water during the summer twice a week keep checking the leaves if they wilted water a bit more I guess being close to ocean you are in sandy soil which is good. Once a every 3 to 4 weeks give it some plant food miracle grow. Good luck thanx for watching
Wow amazing gardenia plant my plant is drooping n it is in shade but only bright light what to do
Make sure to water every 4 days or so like Half gallon ifvits inside plant in the pot , dropping is usualy associated with thirst
Also fertilize with miracle grow once every 3 months
@@rezasaba1602 Thank u soo much I don’t have miracle grow any other u can tell me Thank u soo much appreciated
Mines buds are turning brown. It looks bad. I dont know what to do to fix them. I just bought them a month ago. They are not potted. They are in ground. I am in zone 9.
Audrey
Basic thing is make sure the soil drains well you dont want roots to rot soil needs to be moist not wet.
Give it good soaking of miracle grow
@@rezasaba1602 will do! But what can I do to make sure they drain well? Is there a soul you can suggest? Btw, thank you for your time.
@@audreymai2773 you can buy Potting soil from garden center near you , or just make sure the soil is not clay type and or too compacted
Loose soil
Dont over water once every 3 days is enough in summer
How long have you had this plant?
The two plants are over 10 years old each
My Gardenia has spider mites. How do I get rid of them b4 they kill my tree?
Sparks Dish soap and water and soak them good take emm outside if you can then and Spary with insecticides IT'S AN oily liquid you mix with water and spary
Hope is not too late
Your gardenia is awesome! Is that an Agapanthus in the pot with it?
Thanx the flower in the pot is Amarelious
Right...
I have a Plamts Gardenia. To much buds to bloom but it will not continue pls.what to do i want to seethe flowers to bloom
1 make sure the plant gets enough water
2 make sure the plant is pruned properly to many leaves an branches bunched up does not allow for air flow and nutrients to get to the buds
3 fertilize with miracle grow once per month
4 remove all yellow leaves or damaged leaves
Good luck
Sometimes good morning they asked to put some iron fertilize tell me what kind of iron and thank you
I use Miracle grow tivos available in United States
They add Iron due to yellow leaves I belive
When I get Yellow leaves I just remove them
Fertilize once every month dont do too much
Please add more videos on gardenia plant
Please.. Add as quick as possible
Why do you have a light bulb inside the bush?
Just for looks it lights up at night when I have the plant outside in summer
How often you change the soil?
It depends if you have it in a large pot poke the the soil to about 6 inches deep to get air into the soil Aearate it, if the Roots are very compact and massive like mine was I changed the soil broke up the roots and put new soil I think every 4 years replacing the soil would be ok if the plant is not doing well
Many thanks from Dubai
Thank you! Very informative!
What about how much sun/shade it needs?
In the summer I bring mine outside under full sun No issue make sure u water when its realy hot outside you dont want to see wilted leaves
Shade is fine as well
Why mine is yellowish? lack of fertiliser?
Some say lack of Iron
What I do ,I pull down on Yellow leaves and discard them water only once every 4 or 5 days and not too much
Why my gardenia flowers turns yellow please let me know
My first guess is Too.much Water , 2nd Fertilizer
Arevyoubgettingvlotsbofvrain ?
Are you or have you fertilized this summer
I fertilize outdoor plants at least twice in spring and summer 2 to 3 months apart also depends on your type of soil
Many factors Bugs can cause havoc as well
What's that hanging on the branches of gardenia plant
Those are LED Solar lanterns just for looks at night the glow and looks realy nice
@@rezasaba1602 And please add more videos on gardenia plant.
There only two videos in your channel about past 1yr
@@rezasaba1602 i can't move my eyes off from your gardenia plants.
There look very stylish, elegant there.
@@babe852 thank you
Whenever I brings back home, it becomes yellow leaf then dead, why
Pay attention to watering dont let plant dry out the soil should be moist , some sites advise lack of Iron causes the yellowing of leaves .
On hot summer days water everyday and make sure the soil drains well
Add 1 tablespoon of WHITE vinegar to 1 gallon of water. That should do the trick! For years I would buy a gardenia and have the same thing happen. The water just needs to be a bit more acidic. I learned this on google. My gardenia tree has been doing great. Very few yellow leaves and like this guy says I just pull them off.
I’m afraid it’s the size of your plant Reza! If roots are uneasy you’ll begin to see awkward things such as deformation or constant yellowing. It also prefers partal shade no direct sunlight. As for the powdery substance I think you referred to mildew. It happens if your plant is exposed to constant wet days or you probably wash it sometimes! Allowing air flow in like you mentioned is number one fix for it not happening again but again.. the main reason it happens is too much humidity for mildew is a fungal plant disease. You can throw a plastic bag if branches can not be helped so they wouldn’t catch raindrops (flowers by the way should never be touched by water at all it will cause them to brown easily and turn ugly) then as soon as rain stops uncover and allow air to dry it. Pruning to allow air flow in is a good idea! I’m actually amazed how you still had it going all those years with all the picking and cutting you seem to enjoy practising on the sweet Gardenia! It’s so forgiving.😄 It realises you mean well! It is dificult for Gardenia to survive a wet environment but not impossible so .. Bravooo!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@hana.the.writer5074firstly Thanx for the info .
Crowding of roots could be an issue I will pay attention to it .
My plants are even bigger now a year later
Yellowing of leaves is just a way for us to take care of the plant I guess. lol
The white powder stuff is definitely some sort of plant parasite which I have taken care of it with both Soap and water mist and Insecticide.
This plant Loves direct sun light. It lives on Sun and Water lol
This plant keeps ya on your toes . I recently infused honey with the flower petals of my plant and itvis delicious
I've noticed that gardenias are super sensitive to changing position, repotting etc. Maybe it's best to get one in winter when its dormant and then when you find the right spot for it, try to make it its permanent spot rather than moving the plant around. Goodluck.
Zone 9 and a half?
Not sure what you mean by Zone 9 and a half ?
Zone 9 is the southern part of United States Such as Florida all the way to Southern California
Very good climate to grow Gardenias all year round outdoor
@@rezasaba1602 Yes Gardenia is my favorite go to also Hibiscus. And after watching I figured that yes Florida (being zone 9 n half) mid way is ideal. Thank you for your tips and instruction.
Mine bloom then after few days dry up & brown
Make sure when you water you dont water the blood and or flower I notice it makes them wilt and brown also rain water foes the same
Also fertilise every 3 weeks or so with
Miracle Grow
RIGHT?
Very nice plant 🪴 but too high maintence
Yes it needs attention Specially when u have to bring them inside for winter they are very heavy
However the scent of the flowers make up for the pain lol
The yellow leaves are a nutrient deficiency: ua-cam.com/video/cwZGzk6RHaY/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Great video, I'm struggling right now to take care of a potted Gardenia, hopefully your video will help 😂
I don't know. Get rid of them.
Get rid of it.
