Gardenia Blossoms
I have a healthy-looking gardenia plant which grows well with plenty of healthy-looking glossy green foliage - which produces plenty of healthy-looking plump green flower buds. Can anyone suggest a reason to explain why these buds always fall off before producing any flowers? Jay |

Can anyone suggest a reason to explain why these buds always fall off before producing any flowers? Yes - I tried a gardenia once, with the same result. Then I started poking around in books and discovered that it flowers in a fairly restricted temperature range. If it's too hot, the flowers fall off, too cold, the flowers fall off, temperature fluctuates, the flowrs fall off. I gave it up as a bad job. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |

They also like high humidity & regular spraying everyday.They require at
least 4 hours of light a day.Keep soil constantly moist,never allowing it to dry out,but do not over water.use only soft tepid water.feed once a month with a acid liquid fertilizer.Hope this helps you find out what it is that is causing the problem. -- Thanks Keith "Kay Easton" wrote in message ...
