Gardenia Jasminoides (indoor) fragrant (minimum 3 plants/pot)

Gardenia jasminoides is a shrubby plant from the Rubiaceae family, originally from East Asia. It is especially appreciated for its white flowers, extremely fragrant, which have a shape similar to that of roses. The flowers can be of different sizes, but in general they are large and full, with multiple layers of delicate petals.

Gardenia Jasminoide is also known as Cape Gardenia or Common Gardenia.

The care of Gardenia Jasminoides requires attention to ensure abundant flowering and the health of the plant:

• Light: Prefer bright places, but protected from strong sun. Filtered light is ideal.

• Soil: The soil must be well drained, acidic (pH between 5 and 6.5), rich in organic matter. Use special soil mixtures for acidophilic plants.

• Watering: Gardenia requires a constantly moist, but not soaked, soil. Let the top layer of soil dry a little before watering again. Water with a low lime content is preferable, to avoid yellowing of the leaves.

• Humidity: This plant loves high humidity. To increase the humidity, you can use a humidifier, place the plant on a tray with wet gravel or spray the leaves regularly.

• Temperature: Ideally, the temperature should be between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius during the day and a little cooler at night. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius.

• Fertilization: Fertilize gardenia once a month with a fertilizer for acidophilic plants or flowering plants, from spring to autumn, to support growth and flowering.

• Pruning: Pruning is done after the plant has bloomed, to remove spent flowers and to encourage new growth. It is important not to cut new shoots, where next year's flowers will form.

Gardenia jasminoides is often used in perfumery and skin care products due to the highly fragrant essential oil extracted from the flowers.

Symbolically, gardenia is often associated with purity, love and grace, making it a popular choice for wedding bouquets and other special events.
