United StatesGardenia plants
It was not that good. The small plant had a lot of buds, that did open. But they were just single flowers, not the bushier flowers that I expected. The larger plant has buds but they are not opening up. It’s in a nice sunporch and all the other plants are doing well, but these buds look like they are tired. How much water should they be getting.
