    I have a small but beautifully formed Gardenia with lots of buds. What are the best conditions to keep it in? Do I remove the flowers once they start to go yellow? and when do I re-pot or do I re-pot at all? - I'm hoping it will get bigger is there a chance of that.

    :D Ok Charlie, are you ready? here we go, they like a good compost, feed weekly during growing season,put them indirect light & keep moist not wet,never let it dry out or get waterlogged, they like coffee grounds as they are acid, they like humidity,they like to be slightly pot bound, but if you need to re-pot do it do it in the spring, & lastly they like night temps of 16c & day temps of 21c to encourage it to flower :D :D don't let all that put you off as they are beautifull & worth all the effort :D :D I love 'em :D :D

    Would Camellia or Magnolia Stellata cope better with dry conditions?
