CARE of Gardenia jasminoides:

This plant attracts attention with its beautiful dark green leaves and its creamy white, fragrant (vanilla scent), double flowers.

Also known as the “plant of secret love”

Not full sun, but lots of light. Filtered sunlight Warm and moist: After flowering, the plant goes into a rest period. Then place the plant in a cooler place, but maintain a temperature between 16-18°C. When the flower buds are formed, a constant temperature (17°C) and high humidity are necessary to prevent bud loss. Sensitive to temperature changes. Can cause bud loss. In summer the plant can also be placed outside. In winter, preferably a cooler location: 12-16°C

Water: Keep the potting soil moist, especially during the growing period, but avoid too much water and 'wet feet'. Never let the potting soil dry out. Only use rainwater or low-lime water at room temperature. Mist the leaves (not the flowers) regularly for optimal humidity.

Tip: Gardenia is allergic to lime. When repotting, use an acidic, humus-rich soil (heather soil). Repot every 3-4 years in the spring. Soil that is too calcareous gives Gardenia yellowed leaves. If the plant becomes too large, you can prune it back, best done in March.
