Gardenia

Light:

Your Gardenia prefers partial shade, with 4-6 hours of direct sun per day. The soft morning sun is best, so an east-facing exposure is best. Avoid exposure to the harsh afternoon sunlight, which can scorch the delicate blooms. Your Gardenia can also thrive in areas with light shade throughout the day.

Water:

Water your Gardenia with 50% of the soil volume is dry. Water slowly, allowing it to absorb into the soil until it begins to drip out of the drainage hole. Do not use a saucer outdoors or allow the pot to sit in standing water.

Pet-Safe:

The Gardenia is considered mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
