Hello Anne, The fragrance of the gardenia is one of my favorites! Is it the flower buds that keep falling off? It could be from a lack of humidity, from chilly temperatures (below 60*) or from keeping the soil too wet. If the air is too dry, you might stand the container on a saucer filled with pebbles and water. The pebbles should hold the container up out of the water. Before watering, check the soil with your fingertips. Water when the surface is slightly dry. Alison
