holes on gardenia leaves
 

Hello,

I have a 1G gardenia veiti in my family room by a southeast window.
It's been two weeks. I put the 1G plant in a decorative pot with
pebbles at the bottom. Is gardenia a slow grower? It came with 15 buds
and I look at them everyday but no sign of blooming. I noticed that
there are some holes start to appear on leaves. At first, it is a
brown spot, then, the brown spot becomes thinner in the center and
then it turns to be a hole!

Is my plant affected by some pest? What can I do? Should I move the
pot outdoor to a northwest facing balcony?

Thanks a lot for all your help! How long does it take from buds to
flowers? :-P
