Hello All
I bought a topiary gardenia (which I have never seen before) from a reputable nursery about 9 months ago. Naturally I was excited to place it in my south facing sunroom in anticipation of being bathed in daily fragrance. No such luck. The plant has never bloomed. Instead what was a lush green little canopy on top now has brown or yellow leaves. All other plants in my sunroom are thriving
Based on what I read here and elsewhere, I understand gardenias are fussy plants but soil is moist , and I give it some diluted homemade whey which all my other acid loving plants get and thrive on. I am showing a photo of the gardenia plant alone and then with a key lime plant in background
Would appreciate any suggestions. pls
Topiary Gardenia

I’ve had good luck figuring out what works best by using Greg — it gives specific watering advice based on where you live and the light levels in your home, which helped me stop overwatering my indoor plants https://www.houseplant.co.uk/collections/house-plants-indoor-plants
It gets easier once you notice how much light each spot really gets throughout the day. Grouping similar plants together also helped me keep track of what each one needs.
