Judy – My gardenia wouldn't bloom until I stimulated bud production by providing night temperatures in the 50's. Once the bud nodes became visible, the plant was moved to the brightest hottest window in the house and began a long blooming cycle. I keep this one on a humidifying tray, mist it every morning, feed it "acid-loving" Peterson's, and keep the soil moist. It's worth the work.
