Care of Gardenia Houseplants

What kind of fertilizer is best for a gardenia bush in the house? Can I use Epsom Organic Traditions, which is a soil acidifier, and, if so, how much? My plant’s leaves are turning yellow and falling off. It also is not getting buds or flowers. Where is best to keep it in the house?

Epsom salt is magnesium sulphate. For the gardenia, it will help prevent yellowing of theleaves. Use 1 tbsp. of Epsom salts per foot of height of gardenia.
