Care of gardenia indoors

Given as a gift, the flower buds on my plant formed but turned black and died. After watering it regularly, it now has lots of new flower buds, and I’m hoping they will produce the lovely perfumed flowers. How do I keep it healthy and flowering as an indoor plant?

Thank you.

Making sure it gets plenty of light, increasing the humidity, and avoiding overwatering and underwatering will help your gardenia produce beautiful flowers:
