Kacapiring peduli
Hijau gelap mengilap daun dan bunga berwarna putih susu wangi dari tanaman kacapiring membuat tanaman yang tak tertahankan untuk tumbuh. Biasanya dijual di mekar atau kuncup, keharuman yang memabukkan mengajak kita untuk membuat harus memiliki tanaman tetapi dapat kacapiring rewel dan tantangan untuk tumbuh di dalam ruangan. Bahkan, beberapa memperlakukannya sebagai tanaman sekali pakai dan buang setelah mekar.
Gardenia (Cape melati) memerlukan longgar baik-ditiriskan, asam (ph4.5-6.2) tanah, cerah matahari dalam ruangan 6-8 jam dan belang-belang teduh (matahari pagi) ketika di luar rumah di musim panas. Itu lebih suka kelembaban tinggi dan lembab tetapi tidak basah tanah. Feed itu dengan 1 / 2 kekuatan asam pupuk setiap 2-4 minggu dari bulan Maret-Oktober.
Perawatan untuk musim dingin: Menyediakan lokasi cerah dingin, kelembaban dan menjaga diri dari pemanasan vents. Jangan memupuk dan air kurang dengan membiarkan bagian atas 1-2 inci sampai kering sebelum penyiraman lagi.
Mekar: gardenia membutuhkan bahkan suhu 62-63 F dan kelembaban yang tinggi selama pembentukan kuncup. Untuk meningkatkan kelembaban tempat menanam dalam nampan kerikil air atau dekat dengan alat pelembab ruangan. Ketika tunas terbentuk, konsisten memberikan malam dingin (58-60F) dan hangat hari (70-75F). Sebuah suhu 10-15 derajat diferensial diperlukan untuk menjaga tunas dari dropping off (bud ledakan). Dibuka bunga harus berlangsung 3-8 hari dan mudah memar bila disentuh.
Prune setelah siklus mekar telah berakhir, atau ketika tanaman aktif tumbuh dan membutuhkan langsing. Jangan prune selama musim dingin.
Propagasi: Ambil 3-4 inci semi-woody memotong ujung dari non-menembak berbunga pada awal musim semi. Hapus daun yang lebih rendah, penurunan hormon pengakaran dan masukkan memotong di lembab gambut, vermikulit campuran. Harus mengakar dalam 4-6 minggu.
Troubleshooting
Gardenia menarik sejumlah serangga: kutu daun, bertepung bug, skala, tungau laba-laba merah dan thrips. Mereka juga rentan terhadap akar membusuk, tunas daun drop dan kuning.
Di sebelah selatan dan barat wilayah pantai (zona 7b), semi-tropis gardenia ditanam di luar rumah sebagai semak cemara. Varietas dapat berbeda dalam ukuran, pertumbuhan kebiasaan dan musim mekar. 'Misteri' California favorit bangkit untuk 8 'tinggi dan menghasilkan bunga ganda yang besar.

Growing tips
Potong kembali selama musim dingin dan mulai makan dengan sejumput Muracid untuk satu galon air setiap minggu. Lakukan ini selama 4 bulan jangan makan lagi selama 8 bulan-hanya air. Selama waktu makan itu akan menetapkan kuncup dan menjadi lebih kuat. Selama waktu makan itu tidak akan beristirahat. Gardenia perlu istirahat untuk tetap sehat dan menghasilkan bunga.

Telah mencari sehat selama 4 bulan tetapi baru-baru ini salah satu daun tanaman sudah mulai mengering dan keriting.

Aku punya gardenia yang diberikan kepada saya, yang dilakukannya tidak begitu baik karena aku sedang mengalami kesulitan air secara teratur. Jadi begitu aku mulai melakukan itu, itu berdaun naik cukup baik dan benar-benar hijau. Aku tidak mengubah siklus air, tapi untuk beberapa alasan semua daun layu dan mulai menggulung, dan kemudian ... .. ketika saya pergi untuk menyentuh daun, itu jatuh! Semua daun jatuh kecuali beberapa pertumbuhan baru di akhir. Saya pikir mungkin panci, jadi aku baru-baru ini repotted itu - itu melakukan sedikit lebih baik, tapi belum ada daun di cabang-cabang, hanya pertumbuhan baru di ujungnya. Lebih pertumbuhan baru telah mulai tumbuh di bagian bawah - tetapi apa yang saya bertanya-tanya adalah saya harus memangkas dari cabang-cabang yang tidak mempunyai daun pada mereka? Bahkan jika ada pertumbuhan baru pada ujung-ujungnya? Hanya tampak begitu telanjang tanpa daun! Belum mekar sama sekali sejak aku untuk christmas. Bantuan?

Setelah melihat banyak keluhan yang sama saya tentang tanaman gardenia saya, saya memeriksa di bawah daun dan menemukan spesifikasi gelap kecil yang bila disentuh terlepas dan terlihat merah kecoklatan di tanganku, hampir seperti aku mengoleskan bug. Apa ini?
Sara (ego.sara @ yahoo.com /) (IP: 154.20.5.157)
Terima kasih atas tanggapan Anda. Saya belum menemukan zat lengket namun saya tidak menemukan jejak-jejak kecil mungil web. Mungkin spider mites? Semua daun kelihatan kotor yang tampaknya konsisten dengan spider mites. Apakah Anda punya saran tentang cara untuk mengendalikan mereka. Terima kasih
Aku tinggal di Mississippi di mana selama 2 minggu sudah di pertengahan 70's untuk menurunkan 80's. Hari ini saya mendapat halaman saya taman dan ditanam beberapa kurcaci kacapiring's. Aku hanya melihat pada cuaca bahwa kita berada di bawah peringatan pembekuan malam ini. Kelihatannya seperti itu mungkin tidak akan turun sepanjang jalan sampai 32 tapi benar-benar dekat. Apakah saya harus menutupi kacapiring's?

Hai,
Aku punya pohon Gardenia dalam ruangan yang indah (bukan tanaman) sebagai hadiah sekitar sebulan yang lalu. Ketika saya pertama kali, itu memiliki beberapa bunga di atasnya dan tampak cukup sehat ... Sekarang aku melihat bahkan lubang pada daun-daun baru dan tunas yang jatuh. Saya telah menyirami secara teratur dan itu di depan sebuah jendela yang mendapat sinar matahari penuh di pagi hari. Aku tidak berpengalaman dalam tanaman tumbuh jadi saya tidak tahu apa yang bisa menjadi masalah. Apa pun yang Anda dapat menyarankan akan sangat dihargai.

Am i memerangi kalah ini berusaha untuk tumbuh di iklim ini?
I live in Boise Idaho dan hanya membeli gardenia semak untuk hadiah dan berpikir bahwa saya akan mencari info tentang perawatan gardenia untuk mencetak artikel untuk memberi dengan tanaman. Saat aku melihat kedalam kacapiring itu tampak bahwa itu adalah tanaman yang sangat mengganggu. Apakah kasus ini atau itu seperti berita di mana kita hanya mendengar kabar buruk dan tidak begitu banyak cerita yang baik. Tanaman ini akan tumbuh dalam kondisi kering dan panas di luar ruangan, atau seharusnya itu dek pot tanaman yang akan diambil di musim dingin kita? Apa yang anda rekomendasikan untuk memiliki tanaman yang sehat di sini di Boise, Idaho? Terima kasih untuk waktu Anda!

Saya baru saja menerima pohon gardenia, di pemakaman suami saya. Saya akan sangat senang untuk menjaga pohon ini hidup, sebagai peringatan akan Dia. Ini adalah dalam pot sekarang. Aku tinggal di Northern Georgia. Dapatkah pohon ditanam di tanah? Apakah perlu untuk dibawa dalam selama musim dingin bulan? Atau akan lebih baik untuk hanya repot dan simpan di pot dan membawanya di teras selama musim panas, sehingga untuk membawanya kembali ke dalam dingin selama bulan-bulan. Jika aku menanamnya di tanah, akan hal itu perlu naungan sebagian atau penuh matahari?
Aku punya gardenia yang melakukannya dengan cukup baik di dalam dan meninggalkan tanggung jawab teman penyiraman dalam ketidakhadiran saya, selama 2 minggu. Dia bilang dia melakukan itu, tetapi saya kembali pohon itu benar-benar hitam, semua cabang kering dan mati. Aku dipangkas semua cabang dari hanya menyisakan batang tanaman dan saya menyirami ketika bagian atas kering dan tanah yang tersisa di tempat itu hanya akan matahari di pagi hari. (Saya di New York.) Namun setelah seminggu aku tidak bisa melihat setiap perbaikan, saya sangat khawatir bahwa seluruh tanaman mati. Batang coklat kehitaman dan warna cokelat muda mengelupas. Apa yang anda rekomendasikan? Saya suka tanaman ini begitu mahal!
Aku sudah punya gardenia semak selama sekitar 15 tahun itu adalah sekitar 6-7 meter. Ini menghasilkan banyak bunga setiap musim semi, tapi berhenti memiliki aroma. Apa perlu?

Aku punya indoor gardenia bahwa saya telah repotted 4 kali. Aku repotted karena akar tanaman itu terikat. Setiap kali setelah mekar pelaporan muncul kembali. The kacapiring adalah dalam pot yang beratnya sekitar £ 100 dan lagi dan tampak seperti kebutuhan repotted walaupun saya tidak bisa lebih besar (pot). Pertanyaan saya adalah: Apakah ada cara untuk "membelah" tanaman tanpa merugikan itu. Aku tinggal di Pennsylvania sehingga menempatkan itu di luar ruangan bukan ide yang baik. Aku tidak mau kehilangan tanaman.

Saya baru saja membeli menengah Gardenia 5 semak-semak untuk tempat di lanskap depan tempat tidur saya sepanjang kemarin dan hari ini. Aku tinggal di bagian utara negarabagian South Carolina, jadi saya tinggal di Gardenia hardier zona untuk pertumbuhan. Saya khawatir adalah bahwa saya telah menempatkan mereka di lokasi yang mendapat sinar matahari penuh selama bagian terpanas dari hari. Saya tidak begitu khawatir tentang itu selama cuaca musim gugur yang indah ini, tapi aku takut untuk musim panas mendatang. Apakah mereka benar-benar mati tahun depan? Musim panas ini kami Ahd beberapa 90 + derajat hari. Saya pikir terbaik saya akan melakukan lebih banyak riset sebelum tersangkut mereka di kamar bayi. Aku benar-benar tidak punya tempat lain untuk menanam mereka, seperti azalea adalah mengisi sisi rumahku. Any tips / ide-ide untuk perawatan yang terbaik bagi mereka?
Saya tinggal di pusat Connecticut. Terakhir ini boleh saya membeli sebuah korsase gardenia "pohon" (sekitar 4 kaki tinggi. Ketika saya mulai memiliki kuncup daun menguning jatuh dan terjatuh, Aku memberi makan itu suatu cairan campuran besi chelated tentang pertengahan bulan Agustus. It menanggapi indah dan memiliki banyak sekali tunas lagi. Namun, daun-daun mulai kuning lagi dan sekarang aku takut aku akan kehilangan kuncup. Berapa sering saya dapat makan dengan besi chelated? Itu adalah di geladak sampai minggu lalu ketika aku membawanya di dalam ruangan. Hal ini banyak cahaya dan aku makan dengan miracid dua kali dalam satu bulan terakhir. It's my favorit mutlak bunga dan aku benci kehilangan. Any help akan sangat dihargai.
Aku hanya membeli sebuah gardenia veitchii kemarin, dorongan membeli. Aku tahu apa-apa tentang tumbuh gardenia. Satu-satunya hal yang saya tumbuh adalah mawar. Kacapiring ini akan di pot, seberapa besar panci does it butuhkan? Saya punya satu yaitu sekitar 10 gadis bahwa aku sedang memikirkan memasukkannya ke dalam, tapi apakah itu untuk besar untuk memulai? Ini mungkin sedikit kurang dari 12 "tinggi dan lebar sekarang. Juga bagaimana melakukannya mendalam perlu ditanam? Apakah ini membutuhkan apa pun selain pot tanah, saya menggunakan kontrol kelembaban Gro keajaiban. Aku punya mawar yg tak dinodai tanam campuran yang memiliki banyak jenis kompos yang berbeda hal di dalamnya (guano kelelawar kompos, pupuk kandang ayam, alfalfa makan, cacing casing dan banyak hal-hal lain juga, organik), akan terasa sakit itu untuk menambahkan beberapa bahwa dalam?

Temp ini apa-apa untuk itu sekarang berada di luar? Itu terkena panas di musim panas untuk tertinggi, 90-100's. Apakah itu tidak apa-apa di pagi sore langsung naungan dan matahari? Hal ini dapat dipindahkan untuk mendapatkan lebih banyak naungan jika diperlukan, terutama di bulan-bulan musim panas. Apakah bisa dipangkas bawah untuk tetap relatif kecil jika diperlukan atau akan yang sakit itu? Thanks for any info yang dapat Anda berikan!
Aku tinggal di Houston, Texas. Saya telah Gardenia ditanam di depan rumahku. Mereka memiliki banyak bunga, tapi daun tampak seperti memiliki lapisan bubuk hitam di atasnya. Dari awal komentar, saya pikir itu mungkin kutu daun. Apa yang dapat saya gunakan untuk merawat kutu daun?
Enjoyed reading all the questions and comments! I have an outside gardenia that lives in a pot facing the east morning sun. When temps get below freezing, I move it to the garage until the temps come back up. Here it is late November, temps in 40's & 50's day, low 30's and 20's nights – my gardenia is full of huge buds! Mengapa?
I live in California, my gardenia plant is in a pot out on my porch, the leaves are beautifully green, however they are droopy . I have watered it, but it just stays droopy, no flowers yet. What is wrong?
Terima kasih
Transplanting gardenia
Hai! I got a gardenia from Home Depot a few days ago (I live in South Florida) and I planted it in a place that gets a half a day of sun, mulch, water, and the right fertilizer, but a few of its leaves have turned yellow and it's buds aren't opening. Also, it starts to wilt and then regains it strength again every few hours or so! I read somewhere else that because it's from Home Depot, it might already have a ton of fertilizer in it. Is there any truth to that? I stopped watering it a couple of days ago just in case, because I thought I may have watered it too much.
I am a Master Gardener and a friend brought me something I've never seen. The 10 year old dwarf gardenias in his yard are covered with what looks like red buls. On closer inspection, it looks like the base of the bloom never separated from the plant and has produced a seed pot. Is this possible?
I have a gardenia tree , it was doing pretty well outside, since I got it inside I noticed something everyday, my latest problem was white skins on the buds & leaves was shinyy & sticky. I cut the bud & took the nursery ( the spray they gave didn't work), my second visit he told me to clean the leafs with alcohol ( and that I think killing my plant now), I still have those white skins (not like before but still some) and now most of the leafs dried & turned dark brown. Any suggestions? what can I do about white skins? and what can I do about dry brown leafs? (it doesn't turn yellow, just dark dry brown). Thank any info you can give me.
Leaf drop
I lost most of the leafs of my gardenia tree & I trimmed some ( everyday I have dry brown leaves) even green leaves are just dry, I don't know what's going on, still living for now but not much leaves left & I still have that aphids ( gonna look for pyrethrin spray). thank you, any ideas about dry leaves ( not yellow) just dry (some are dark brown or black) and some green ( but dry).
Thanks for your quick respond, my gardenia tree is front of the window & next to the heating vent ( even I closed the vent) it might be to dry & too cold ( for being right front of the window). I am going to move the plant from there to another place tomorrow morning. I have one more question though, I want to buy a humidifier ( for the gardenia, for the increase the humidity), which one should I get? warm or cool moisture humidifier? Terima kasih banyak.
I have a gardenia bush that I planted last spring and it has grown beautifully outside. I'm concerned about it now since winter has started. I live in zone 7 and it has gotten down into the 20s some nights. I've noticed the bush has turned very brown even though I've been covering it with a sheet on the coldest nights. Will it get new growth in the spring and will it bloom? Do I need to prune the old growth back in early spring? Do gardenias usually survive winter in zone 7? I would appreciate some advice on this. It was doing so well before I would hate to see it die. Terima kasih!
Thank you for answering my question above. I thought of one more thing to ask about my gardenia. If it does show signs of growth in the spring, can I transplant it into a large pot so I can move it inside during the next winter? I just wondered if moving it from the ground into a pot would kill it even more or would be ok to do. Terima kasih.
I have a gardenia for 30 years. Now after bringing indoors for 1 month from outside, the leaves are starting to dry and turn brown to black. It's like the plant is not getting water to its leaves. I had a problem with aphids this summer but successfully treated it and had the tree bloom during the summer. Some branches are also dry and when you break them they snap. Others are still elastic. Is the environment not humid enough? Is it possible their are aphids in the root not showing up on the leaves or branches? I also had a couple of other small gardenias which died in a similar fashion during this month after bringing indoor. Terima kasih
I have a Gardenia that is wilting , has some brown spotted leaves, and some leaves are crips and almost dead. Any help akan sangat dihargai.
HI,
I live in Alabama and bought a Gardenia Tree. It did very well till I brought it in to save it from our severe cold weather. I think it dried out way too much and my gas heat is not allowing for enough humidity. Here is my problem all my leaves except for the very tips have fallen off, I think due to lack of water and moving it into my house. I popped all the buds off at the ends because I am more concerned with surviving then it trying to bloom. It always is trying to bloom but leave production is very mild. I want it to look like a bush tree and now it looks like a naked tree does in the fall. The very end tips are green and have 2 leaves each on about 20 limbs but that's it. Can I prune it back and make it start budding leaves again? If not when do I prune it and How? Most of the limbs are av shaped with the middle limb cut off from when I bought it.
I am “babysitting” my daughter's Gardenia tree. About a month ago I noticed some of the leaves had a sticky substance on them. The floor around it also had the sticky substance. The back of the leaves had black specks. Whey rub of and look dark green when in my hand.
I have tried handwashing all the leaves. I then put the plant in the bathtub and gave it a shower.
I noticed the stickyness and black specks are back.
Is there something else I should do?
Are the specks are rounded bumps on the leaf or stem surface that can be scraped off then you have scale. They are hard to get rid of and will need several treatments.
Chlorosis on gardenia
I live in South Florida and have a gardenia planted next to my east facing patio. Admittedly, I have not taken the best care of it over the years. Despite my neglect, it has somehow thrived, until recently. Over the past several months the leaves have started to turn yellow with the veins remaining green. I have tried fertilizing regularly with Miracid, but the problem persists and may even be worsening. I recently read that using distilled water, rather than tap water, may be better for gardenias. I have not yet tried that, but wanted to know if there is something else I should be doing.
Hi Elena
I'm assuming that your gardenia is planted in the ground. I would suggest that you test the soil ph, to make sure it is low enough(acid) to make iron available to the plant.
Here are some other ideas, gardenias that are growing under cold conditions (below 60F) for extended periods can also become chlorotic (iron)because the cold temperatures reduce nutrient absorption. They don't take up as much iron causing chlorosis. Chlorosis is prevalent on the new growth . It can also be a sign of root disease caused by keeping the soil too wet.
For a quick fix add chelated iron to the soil or spray it on the leaves. If you don't see any results in 2 weeks, try again. Another option is to apply ammonium sulfate or iron sulfate around the dripline of the soil. Follow the manufactureres label and avoid spraying any concrete, stucco etc as it will stain the surface. If that doesn't work then there may be a problem with the roots being unable to absorb the iron and you may have to improve the soil the gardenia is growing in.
I am at my mothers in Naples, Florida where her gardenia has a covering of black “soot” underneath leaves, on top of the leaves as well as on some of the branches. I was told to use detergent soapy water and “clean off” each leaf. Apakah ada hal lain yang bisa saya lakukan? We have not seen any aphids or bug activity.
I received a potted gardenia in bloom with many buds for Valentina's. I put it in bathroom by large glass block window in large shower. Temp normal, cooler at night. I live in Melbourne, FL. It continues to bloom however the flowers turn yellow within a day or two. Leaves are green and shiny. I water when dry. I don't take a shower in that particular bathroom often What am I doing wrong and why do flowers turn yellow in such a short time. It's my favorite flower. My mom use to pin a flower on our slip strap as young girls for our perfume.
Hello, I am considering purchasing a few dwarf gardenias , but have some concerns about size. Is it true that the dwarf versions only get to be about 2 ft. tall?
Ilive in Cleveland Oh, and have 4 potted Gardenias the largest being 5′ tall x 3′dia in a 28″ pot +100# of soil( est.25yrs old). The smallest one is about 2′ tall,they are placed outside every summer and brought back into sun porch each fall.I have always expererinced leaf drop each fall,and sprayed them with Insecticidal soap to kill white fly and spider mites.
But this year I had to bring them in the house due to remolding and for the 1st time I put a systemic in the soil “Bonite” House Plant insect control.In the past month I have lost all the leaves (still green)and buds turned black,from two of the smaller ones. The large one starting to do the same, HELP
I purchased a beautiful dwarf variegated Gardenia with double flowers, from 'X' nursery. True to its word, the Gardenia hasn't exceeded 2′.
It's Gardenia 'radicans' variegata. A gorgeous plant.
Gardenias prefer being potbound. Tight roots promote flowering, but also, the smaller the pot, the smaller the plant. I'm not saying to keep a plant confined indefinately, but smaller areas slows growth.
Less fertilizer is another option. Althuogh, fertilizing gardinas with an acidic fertlizer is required, use half-strenght, once a month, during growing season. Halt in fall and winter.
Someone asked why buds drop prematurely. Overwatering is the number 1 reason this happens.
Less water and cool temps should do the trick..the problem is, the average household isn't kept chilly. Although a few of my friends turn the heat way down at night, even in our cold area. If a person can deal with eight hours at 60-65F degrees, and soil is left to dry, buds should open, turning into beautiful blooms.
Thanks for the info.
I live in Columbus, Ohio. I have a large Gardenia tree . They are placed outside every summer and I bring them in in the fall. It was doing well and all of a sudden I noticed that is was sticky and was covered with sap. It is even starting to drip off of it. Why is it doing this and what can I do to correct it? It is too cold to take it outside. Terima kasih
Hi Diane
Sticky honeydew- most likely candidate is scale . They love gardenias. Look for bumps on the stem and leaves.
My wife has 2 Gardenia Bushes and she would like to cut some of the blooms to put in the house. How do you do this without hurting the plant?
My husband gave me his late Mother's gardenia tree about 3 years ago. I planted it at my home and it was doing great. About 7-8 months ago after our wedding we moved it to our new home. We were careful about having it in the “same sun” at the new location. Since moving it the leaves have become yellow and it's rather sick looking. Of course this has a lot of sentimental value and I don't want to lose this tree. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Help, please!
Terima kasih.
Its Missy again with another question… Its now starting to get warmer here in Northeast Conn. I have been putting my tree out when its 50 degrees and warmer to get some sun. Although now all my leaves have dried up and fell off!! It looked like there were new green buds for new leaves but they seem to have been drying up too. The soil is very moist and I try to spritz it down often. How do I make it come back? Do I trim it, do a half soil change? The stems of the tree are still alive and have green in them… help!!
Insect Problem
Hai,
I bought an indoor gardenia last year. It has started blooming again this March.
I have seen small bugs in the pot, sticky residue on the leaves, spider web like webs on some of the leaves, and some of the new leaves look like they have been chewed.
Please help me save this beautiful plant. Terima kasih.
Dried leaves and drop
Hello again, Its spring here and I have put my gardenia tree outside on those nice warm days but I am sure to not give it too much sun. Since I have brought it out from the winter all of its leaves have dried up and fell off . In the beginning of the winter I treated it for spider mites with Ivory soap and water and that seemed to do the trick. The stems have green to them I have fed it a week and a half ago and still no new growth. Is this a result from the mites? Any hints? or what should I do??
Just got gifted with lush gardenia plant for Mothers Day. Tag says “Grown in Canada”. There are no blooms on it. Can I plant it outside in this 9A grow zone or is it strickly an indoor variety? I've got a couple spots in mind that are sunny til noonish then house shades it. Also have screened porch on same side, but I'm not to good about remembering to water stuff regularly. Thanks for your help.
Hai,
I live in a very hot country (Dubai, uae) and recently(4 months back) got a gardenia plant which was blossoming in February.
Now that the weather is turning hot the gardenia's leaves are curled down and some of it turning brown and it's not blossoming at all. Today, I moved it indoors hoping that the room temperature will help. Shall I move it back outdoors?
Any advice how to revive it?
Terima kasih
We purchased and had a professional landscaper install 20 gardenia radicans in October 2008 going up our front steps in raised planter beds with a drip system. Are are in the SF Pensinsula and blessed with beautiful weather practically year round – no predictable/expects extremes hot or cold however occassionally a hot or cold spell which typically passes after a few days. They are planted in a Western exposure, get 6-8 hours of sun a day starting around 11am and there is occassional afternoon wind. It does not appears the plants have grown much even though we have seen alot of new bud growth. However the new bud growth turns brown (looks like they dry out)and fall off. We have seen only 10 flowers open on 20 plants. We called a specialist Nursery with certified landscaping experts and they told us to be sure the plants are not planted too deep (like azealeas) and they get plenty of water. So we increased the water (drip 10 minutes 3 times a week and now the leaves are turning yellow). We noticed that the additional water didn't help as the buds are still dying. It appears the plant is health becuase we keep getting the new bud growth but they all dry out and fall off. Any suggestions you can offer is much appreciated – would the larger gardenias do better in their environment and can we keep them trimmed to 2 feet? We just love the gardenia and hope to have this wonderful plant welcome/dazzle all who come to the house with their beauty and scent.
Hardiness issue
Hi, I bought a gardenia tree and I planted it outside.I was told that it was an outside plant and now I find out that it might not survive the winter outside in Canada.When I purchased this plant I was looking for something thatwould come back th following year without any problems.
I am very upset it is a beautifull flower and would hate to lose it… help please…
I just received a gardenia plant as a gift. I bought a ceramic pot and transplanted it and added some Miracle Grow moisture control potting soil. I also added some Miracle Grow “stick” fertilizer. I have the plant in partial sun most of the day. I had it in full sun and noticed some of the leaves were turning yellow so I moved it to partial sun and the leaves look great. My only problem is “mold” growing on the top of the soil?? What is going on?? I did removed a “layer” of mold last night but it came back today. What should I do??
I bought new gardenia few weeks ago with no experience in gardening and newely developed hobby.I am not sure what that yellow powder is on leaves.it is flowering and has new leaves.
i live north of Ocala, fla. my gardenia is about 6 ft. tall and roughly 6 ft. diameter. it is blooming nicely. do i need to pull off old flowers as they turn yellow or let them stay on plant? if i need to pull them, do i take flower and pod or just the flower. thanks.
Pinch off flowers
I have an outside gardenia bush and this year it is full of beautiful blooms. When the blooms begins to turn brown, do I pinch them off from the stem or do I prune them similar to roses.
I started one from a cutting 21 years ago and it still looks and does very well. I don't have any special secrets but this seems to work for me: I live in New jersey.
I put it outside on my front porch from May 1st to October 1st and only feed it during that time. My porch gets afternoon sun.I feed it every 4-6 days with a pinch of Muracid to a gallon of water and let it run through.
Before i bring it in for the winter I spray it with an all purpose bug spray and cover it with a cleaner bag for the night. Then I trim it.
Once inside I put it in the brightest room in the house-my diningroom and water it less often and do not feed it. It sets bud over the winter and blooms on the porch over the summer. I get about 50-60 blooms.
I repot it in the spring every few years when roots are coming out of the bottom.
After reading the many informative posts on your website, I now see that my outdoor gardenia plant, which I planted in full sun, needs to be moved where it can be in partial sun. I live in Seattle, in Zone 8b. However, I see that you strongly recommend not disturbing their roots. Is there a good time to move a gardenia? It is now July, and I planted it about six weeks ago.
Halo,
In late spring I purchased 4 dwarf gardenia bushes. They are planted on the border of a bed that has a small tree in the center and gets about 6 hours of sun. I was encouraged by the tag which said the plant (with its relatively tiny leaves) is hardy through zone 7 (I live in Maryland, between Baltimore and Washington DC) and took great care to plant them with plenty of topsoil, compost and peatmoss and fertilized them with osmicote.
We had a very wet spring and early summer and I have been watering them (at the roots) 2-3 times a week since our weather turned hot and dry. They bloomed beautifully but in the last couple of weeks, 3 of the 4 have developed yellow leaves with brown spots. The healthy one was purchased a few days after the original 3, from a different store but the same chain. The healthy one had been trimmed back at the time of purchase and was more compact than the other 3, if that has any bearing.
I will try the iron and miracid that you suggested and see if it helps the yellowing. However, after reading some of the comments about wintering, I'm concerned that the plants will not last through our cold season, when our temps are generally in the mid 30's but at times can get down into the teens.
These plants have a warranty of a year, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't return them now. Even if they last until spring, it sounds as though each year would be a roll of the dice as to their survival. If I do keep them, should I keep them blanketed for the whole winter, removing the protection only when the days are unusually mild?
I will appreciate your comments about the yellow leaves and chances for survival. Thank you and take good care.
We have a large indoor plant and we have noticed a white type of mold on the branches and leaves .It is sticky when we touch it and the leaves of the plant on the inside have turn brown /black what can we do about this?
I have a couple month old gardenia which got infested with spider mites.So, I sprayed it with bayer.The bugs are gone.It has new leaves and setting new buds.But the new buds have green outercovering when opens up but nothing inside ie no petals.Please, tell me what to do
My gardenia is setting buds.It has green outercvering that is lot longer than appearing tiny buds.Could someone please tell me how the buds look like when they are forming.
Rosy
i live in northern va and have just bought a gardenia jasminoides 'aimee'. It is about 3 feet tall and is potted. As adviced by the nursery i fed it Miracid, however its leaves started getting yellow. i would like to know how to take care of this beautiful plant. The zone of this area is 7b.
Drying and curling leaves
Hai. I live in Atlanta. I replanted my gardenia last spring. but after i did. the green color of the leaves seems to fadded, it is not losong the green color, very dry leaves and curling at the end. what to do?
One more variation on the endless yellowing leaves issue: This spring, I planted some Radicans dwarf gardenias in a relatively low-lying bed that has tended to stay damp. Recognizing that, I planted them fairly high, did the best I could to prepare the hole for good drainage (underlying soil is clay), and tried not to irrigate too heavily. Half of the plants seem to be doing well, while the others are thin and have many yellow leaves. Contrary to what I would have expected, the plants doing better are in the section of the bed I think is the dampest. How likely is it the the yellow leaves on the others are due to being UNDER watered? The surface of the soil does dry out between waterings. Any other thoughts? We've had our soil tested and it is acidic. Site is mostly sunny, zone 8. Terima kasih.
Hai,
I live in Toronto Canada and I have an indoor gardenia facing North which is the brighest room in my home. My gardenia had a mealybug problem which I think is now controlled, however I have no leaves or buds on my plant but the plant still looks like its alive. Any idea of what I should be doing now. Thank you for this wonderful and informative site. I would love to be able to succeed with my gardenia as I have not had many good results before.
Terima kasih
Winterover gardenia indoors
I purchased a blooming gardenia in April, repotted it and put it in a sunny spot outside. I live in Missouri. It's grown considerably! I only had one bud on it, then we had a rain storm and the bud knocked off (no more buds). Now day temps are only in the mid 60's with nights in the 40's. I have doubts that it will survive the winter indoors because windows are east/west exposure. Do you think I could just put it in the basement and let it go dormant for the winter and revive again in the spring? I've never had success with indoor gardenias over the winter. HELP please?
Leaf drop
I brought my gardenia inside for the winter…and it was fine at first, but now ALL of the leaves are dropping off. Apa artinya?
Yellow gardenia
We have a whole bed of Gardenias that has been established for approximately 30 years. We live in Georgia (2 hours north of Atlanta) and have enjoyed the pretty white flowers every year. Today (Nov. 26, 2009) I noticed some orange colored blooms on them. There aren't as many orange blooms as white ones in the summer but they are there none the less. At first I thought maybe there was another plant (like a weed) that had invaded the bed; but, the blooms are squarely on the Gardenias. Would you give me a 'heads-up' as to why they are there? We have never noticed them in the 30 years of the bed's life. Thank You in advance for your answer email.
Sincerely,
Robert Fricks
Dried out soil on gardenia
hi. i have a small indoor gardenia (about 10″ tall) that i've had for a few months. i went away for a couple weeks and left 2 water globes in the pot to feed it. on my return a week ago, i found that only one of the globes was drained and the other had been blocked from draining by soil. needless to say, the pot was dry and as were all the leaves. i watered it immediately, and haven't seen a change. i haven't pruned it yet, but i'm just wondering if it's gone to that big garden in the sky.
thanks
I have (had) a lovely gardenia florida on my back verandah potted in premium mix. It was going very well until just now. Yesterday I noticed a couple of leaves on the deck but did not take any notice. This morning I noticed alot of leaves and when I touched the branches a whole lot more came off! I ended up cutting it right back and will wait to see what happens. It has been well watered and fertilsed. I would just love to know what I did wrong!!

Soluble salt
Thanks for your advice.
I was told by the gardener guy that may cause by Salt built in the soil, and suggest me to put it in bathtub and completely show through the plant. It's so sad to me for the Plant tree was brought for my wife's birthday gift last year. Because the flowers are so wild in my hometown(south-east of China). Now I don't know how to take care of it.
Should I bathe it? It's getting worse now. How am I going to watering and fertilize? I used to water once a week.
By the way, will the tea help it built acid condition? Can I mix some tea with the soil if I am going to re-pot it?
Many thanks
Curl grub
Thanks alot but I found out the cause of the stress to my gardenia. It was curl grubs. I am growing a new one in new potting mix. I was told to water with confidor every 2 months. Any other tips?
Scale
My gardenia is lush and growing quickly,but today I noticed what looks like light green scales on a few of the branches. It looks like it just started, but, I would like to take care of this problem before it damages or kills my plant. Are the scales dangerous to my gardenia and if so, how do I get rid of them.
Thank you in advance,
