When we bought our house 5 years ago there was a beautiful gardenia planted near the walkway. My mother in law cut it down thinking it would grow back but it hasn't. Where it was cut down, it showing green like it is trying to grow. How can i help it along? Thanks. |

| Darn, I bet you wish she wouldn't be so 'helpful'! It looks like it will be coming back, but you just have to be patient. It might be bigger and better than ever, but it takes time. Handcrafted Coastal Inspired Art SeaMosaics! |

I don't know the right way to do this but I accidentally mowed down my daughter's Gardenia. It took a while but it did grow back. Don't give up hope.  Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~"Leaf of Faith" |

| Hi and welcome to NGA! I'm with Tiffany - I don't know of any gardenia that has serrated edges! Do you by any chance have a picture of the flower? That said, just feed the bajeebers out of it .. don't use the time release stuff, use the 1 tablespoon per gallon stuff and feed it once a week. Until we know what kind of plant it is, use an all purpose food. Normally, gardenia love acid food. "The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one. No matter the blood; No matter the skin; No matter the world; No matter the star; We are one. No matter the pain; No matter the darkness; No matter the loss; No matter the fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause. we agree to recognize this singular truth, and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one." G'Kar |
