Default Growing potted gardenia
Today 09:17 AMbuster21
I need some gardenia growing tips please. I bought the tiny bush last fall and potted it with with potting soil, perlite. Haven’t fertilized it until today with a little fish emulsion and coffee grounds for acidity.
It’s doing OK. My problem is about watering. Some say it’s better to under water it. My soil moisture tester isn’t working properly. The plant has a northern exposure with enough sun. Thanks in advance!
