Hi Everyone
Can anyone advise about growing potted Gardenias, having been given one a few days ago I notice the flowers are starting to go brown and dropping.

Thanks  Andy

I don't grow gardenias though I love them, but your problem sounds similar to other plants I'm given - change of light levels and feeding. A lot of fussier plants just don't like changes and will rebel like this. I try to wait it out while they readapt, if ever.

I don't grow them either, but isn't it possibly start of a botrytis infection after recent rains as with a lot of things? I'd take them off. :)
