蚜虫
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. 有什么建议？ 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? 非常感谢。
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. 谢谢！
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. 谢谢。
I have a Gardenia that is wilting , has some brown spotted leaves, and some leaves are crips and almost dead. 任何帮助将不胜感激。
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.
Sooty mold
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. 有什么事要我做什么？ 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?
Growing tips
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.
感谢您的信息。
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!
谢谢。
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
嗨，
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. 谢谢。
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?

嗨，
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?
谢谢
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. 谢谢。
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.
Gardenia growing tips
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.
Transplant time
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.
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?

Drying and curling leaves
嗨。 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. 谢谢。
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. 这是什么意思？
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.

Dried out soil on gardenia
嗨。 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.
谢谢
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
感谢您的意见。
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

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,
