I love gardenia’s!  I love the smell.  I love that they are “finickey” plants that need a lot of specific needs.  I think that’s awesome.  I’ve killed previous gardenias (Harry gardenia, may you rest-in-peace) but I was able to tend to some of my family’s flowers while they wintered in Florida and received one for Mother’s day this year.

I learned they like to:

  1. drink coffee
  2. receive regular misting with distilled water
  3. and have an evening or two a week by a humidifier.

In return they gave me a steady stream of these:
