. Yes,they are getting filtered sun these days.But,they are on the northern side of 5.5 ft high wall,due to which do not get direct sun in winters;would it affect their growth or flowering?
. Is ferrous sulphate sold with the same name or some other, any particular brand? Similarly,how is a soil conditioner sold ? Never used these earlier.

Aoa Munir sb its alright.they should recive filtered sun in summers.Ferrios sulphate is avalable in the lab shops.add two tea spoons into 3 liter water & water your gardenias with it.do it on forthnightly schedules.Thanks to Izhar who solved this problem some 3 years back.Soil conditioners are easily available from Agri shops in 10-20 Kg bags.
Aother thing about Gardeniass plant them & forget them.don,t weed every time as gardenia hates root disturbance.
