Know before you buy
This plant requires 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Placing it in a spot that receives consistent, bright light is essential for supporting its blooming cycle.
While it is a versatile accent for tabletops, it thrives best outdoors in warm weather. You can successfully overwinter it indoors when temperatures drop, but ensure it stays in a bright, warm location above 60°F.
To promote continuous blooming from late spring through summer, simply trim away any spent blossoms. This encourages the plant to direct its energy toward new growth and flower production.
Gardenias are considered moderate-care plants. They require well-drained soil and consistent warmth, so they are best suited for owners who can monitor their light exposure and moisture levels regularly.
The Gardenia Tabletop arrives standing between 13 and 18 inches tall, including the 7-inch Ecopot.
