Hi,
I have a few questions about the plant. I cannot seem to get the watering right. it is in a pot so it dries up faster. either I drown it or the leaves start falling off what kind of fertilizer do you use. my plant has somewhat dull light green leaves.
And how do you make it to flower. Once I got some signs of flowers, but they just fell off...
Also, do you think it could grow outside in 9b zone?

A lot of questions, I know... Thanks

There are many varieties of gardenias and if you know your plants name, you can google it and see where they send you. I am now 88 and no longer grow gardenias. I would suggest you do some research by using the name of your plant. I'm sorry I am of no help to you.
