Gardenia

Gardenias fascinate me; 1, I love their fragrance,2. I have not been able to grow them to my satisfaction.
My Gardenia Lucida, It grows by 2 feet in summer and looses 1- 1/2 feet in winter. GardeniaThunbergia acquired last year has 6 buds on it today. Out of 15 Varigated Gardenia Florida nine survivefd this winter and only two had one flower each.
One factor is I have not been able to improve the PH to what is required by the plant, or provide a proper location. Any suggestions?
Above is my post of May 2011, since then I experimented a lot and now I am a satisfied Gardenia grower.
I have added a lot of Sulphur and Iron sulphate the plants showed instant improvement.
so I shifted them to ground adding sulphur and Iron sulphate to soil, the result was beyond my expectations.
As the flowers are always on tip of the new growth I am snipping off the tips to encourage branching.

Re: Gardenia
Sir, as per leaf shape i guess it is a variegated one which has a suppressed variegation due to excessive nurturing.

Re: Gardenia
True, the new growth is variegated but later turns green, since I started applying Iron sulphate.Izhar wrote:Sir, as per leaf shape i guess it is a variegated one which has a suppressed variegation due to excessive nurturing.

Re: Gardenia
Very healthy gardenias Arif sb! Do you prune? To make the plant more bushy? If yes, then when?
And also, what about the sun. Do u give it full sun, dappled or partial shade?
