care tips
Gardenia jasminoides plants thrive in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. They prefer to be grown in partial shade to quite sunny spots in West European climates and require frequent watering, making sure to avoid wetting the foliage. Prune the plant regularly to maintain its shape and encourage new growth.
