Newly bought gardenias with yellow leaves and dropping flowers are just missing this; add a little and they bloom right away

Some gardening friends bought a gardenia, put it outside in the sun for a day, and it started turning yellow, dropping leaves and dropping flower buds, and they don't know why. Let's analyze it

A newly bought gardenia looking a bit wilted is mainly due to lack of water, because with a newly bought gardenia the potting soil is fairly hard, much of it is loess soil, it is not easy to water thoroughly, and it dries out quickly. Gardenias are also plants that love water very much, so after bringing one home and keeping it indoors for a day or two it easily wilts. If the temperature is a bit low, as long as it is not too low, it does not matter. The main reason is lack of water

Lack of water easily causes leaves to wilt, flower buds to drop, and flower buds not to open. If it becomes severe, the leaves will turn yellow and drop

At this point you should give the gardenia a thorough watering. If water runs out from the bottom of the pot right after watering, that does not count as watering thoroughly. You need to water it several times repeatedly, or just put it directly into a basin of water and soak it for half an hour, and that will do. Then place it in a spot with good ventilation and plenty of light, and that will do. You can mist the leaves to keep them moist, but try not to spray the flower buds

Newly bought gardenias are all prone to this kind of problem, but right after buying one do not repot it. Wait until the flowers have finished blooming before repotting, otherwise repotting damages the roots and affects the gardenia's blooming and growth
