I would love to order this gardenia plant, I have gardenias in the past but couldn't get it to bloom even if it is receiving plenty of sun. Any tips?

I was told not to put any fertilizer in it until it had some established roots. About 2 weeks. Then I used very diluted Miracle Grow. they have it especially for these plants on Amazon. I am also in a very hot area. Summer runs about 100 degrees. Winters as low as 2 degrees. I always bring it in during the winter or it will die.

Mine gets 12 hours per day of sunlight. Never direct light. It's on a patio that is covered.

Gardenias take awhile to bloom. I have to put mine in the shade because of the intense heat where I live.

I planted mine about 2 months ago & they did come up OK, BUT, they are not blooming like the orange glory butterfly weed picture I ordered. Mine have small yellow flowers up & down the stem, not the orange flower on top as ordered picture shows.

Don't know where you live. I live in the Midwest....The plumeria smelled really good when it came...but I don't think it liked the weather here. Even though it was inside. It didn't last long. Not enough sun.

I planted mine in late spring/early summer. They are growing well, no blooms yet. They are hardy in zones 8A to zone 11 and must have at least 6 hours of sun each day. You may want to contact a nursery in your area and they can tell you when the Bottle Brush should be planted. Good luck

I just bought my first plant, and it arrived as a little tiny, but healthy plant, just about one month ago. I bought a Lady Margaret at the same time. Both are growing and appear to be healthy but the Lady Margaret is growing amazingly fast while my little Incense plant seems to be a slow grower. Both are healthy and appear to be happy. But one is really out pacing the other. I look forward to seeing both mature. Here is NC we have had a lot less sun than usual so that may be playing a part.

I planted in mine in a spot where it never got any sun period- not a bit of sun ever, ever. It grew, maybe I didn't water it as uch as I should have because it started dying so that was my fault, I just got lazy. But it grows in shade.

I have one planted in a container and bring it in in the winter. This is my 2 nd year and I have two blooms on it. Just set it outside last week! I let mine dry out before I water it. it grew over the winter and can't wait to see what it does this spring and summer

I planted mine in the spring, but it never grew. Check with your local nursery.

I bought from the same vendor, but I am not the seller. Most of mine died early on, but prob bc I planted too deep around the roots. I read that if you pluck the flowers during first fruiting, the next harvest will be exponentially fuller. Good luck!

I've had mine for about 4 mos and it is a great plant, however needs a lot of attention. Recommend that you don't put it outside right away as it will die in extreme climate changes. I would put it where it's mildly warm and move it back and forth from outside to inside for a good month and then have it outside for longer periods of time until you know it can handle the heat and humidity. Mine didn't like the hot outdoors so had to bring it inside for longer periods of time. It is too late in the season to have it outside so I will wait until Spring/Summer to try to have it planted outside permanently.

Diane, I know when I planted mine late last year it took awhile for them to come up too. Not knowing how you planted them I'm not sure what's going on. Hopefully you planted them no more than maybe an inch deep in good soil, with at least some sun shine and have been watering them occasionally. If so, they should be popping up soon. The ones I planted this year only got about half as tall as last year before they started to bloom, but they came up quicker. I would rather have the bigger plants. Be patient, I don't think you will be disappointed.

I only had a few come up. I had them in a heated terrariums with grow lights but was unable to keep them alive. Hope you have better luck! I have many plants but bought them already grown, lol - I might try again in the spring

They like some sun, but the plant I got was damaged and died. Don't put in the shade if you go with either buyer, they do like sun, mine didn't stand a chance with the leaves clipped and it being so tiny. I looked so forward to seeing this grt!ow and bloom, what a disappointment, good luck with yours!!
