Product Details
The Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides), also known as Cape Jasmine, is a luxurious evergreen shrub prized for its intoxicatingly sweet, romantic fragrance and classic beauty! This elegant tropical plant features glossy, dark green, lance-shaped leaves and stunning, creamy-white, double or semi-double flowers (up to 7–10 cm across) that bloom from late spring through summer (and often into fall with good care). The blooms open pure white and may develop a subtle creamy tint as they age, filling your space with a rich, jasmine-like perfume that's especially strong in the evening.
People adore Gardenia (Cape Jasmine) for its heavenly, long-lasting scent that instantly creates a luxurious, spa-like or old-world romantic atmosphere in homes, bedrooms, patios, or offices. It's a timeless favorite for fragrance lovers, often used in perfumes, bridal bouquets, and leis, and cherished by plant enthusiasts for the rewarding challenge of coaxing out those perfect, velvety blooms against the shiny foliage. Despite needing a bit of pampering, the payoff of those gorgeous, fragrant flowers makes it feel like pure luxury!
Quick Caring Tips for a thriving Gardenia:
Light: Bright, indirect light is best (east- or west-facing window indoors; morning sun with afternoon shade outdoors). Avoid harsh direct midday sun to prevent leaf scorch, but too little light reduces blooming.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged — water when the top 2–3 cm feels dry (roughly every 7–10 days). Use room-temperature, filtered, or rainwater (they hate tap water chemicals); always ensure excellent drainage.
Soil & Pot: Acidic, well-draining potting mix (ericaceous/acid-loving or peat-based houseplant soil with added perlite) in a pot with drainage holes. Repot in spring if needed.
Humidity & Temperature: Loves high humidity (60%+); mist daily, use a pebble tray, or run a humidifier. Thrives at 18–24°C daytime (cooler nights around 15–18°C encourage buds); protect from drafts, heaters, and temperatures below 15°C.
Extra Love: Fertilize every 2–4 weeks in spring/summer with diluted acid-loving/iron-rich fertilizer (for azaleas/rhododendrons). Prune lightly after flowering to shape. Wipe leaves to remove dust. Watch for yellow leaves (often low iron or pH issues) and treat promptly.
Indulge in timeless elegance and unforgettable fragrance — Gardenia is the queen of scented houseplants!
