They are not picking up water - roots may be o.k. or not and water that they are getting may be too much or not enough, or simply not getting to the soil ball where all the roots are. Any of these (and a dozen more) will cause the yellowing. derek

How do you take care these plants? What should i do about the yellow leaves? Can i grow them in the ground or just in pots? I have BC weather here.
Thanks

When do you prune Gardinias?

I have about 12 gardinia bushes that the previous owner of my house planted. Some are rather large now and I need to prune them back. Is there a "best " way to prune them back. Some of the bushes are 6 to 7 feet wide and as tall.

Either in the ground or pots will do, but you have to learn to water them properly. Please see the reference on watering in pne of these answers. Dere.

Prune after flowering, but only if you need to do so for reasons of shaping the bush. Omly a few plants "need" to be pruned, and gardenias are NOT one of them those needs to be cut to bring blooms the following year.

Mike, this is the natural size for a gardenia in good health. I would suggest that if you need to reduce the size, you should do it over a three-year period, cutting back on about a third of the big branches each year - cut to about half the height that you would like the branch to be. A few will die, but most will give you several shoots. At the end of this three-year cycle stop pruning except to shape errant branches. Derek

I live in Carson City Nevada. My daughter sent me a gardinia plant for Mothers Day. I would like to leave it in the pot and put it outside for the Summer. I will take it in, in the winter. Is this okay? Also how do I water this plant to keep it from dying? Is there a certain plant food I need to use to keep it healty? Thank you for your time. Jeanette Palmer
