First time I’ve ever planted a gardenia plant and actually

Question

it’s just a couple tiny sprigs …but they do have roots. I put them in a pot on my back porch. She will get sun pretty much all day long. But she sure looks awfully droopy and I don’t know if it’s just because it’s a shock that I’ve moved her Premier home which is at the Home Depot. I’m just not sure what to do. I’ve never had one before so help help help!

Gardenias need part shade so yours are probably baking. Here are a couple articles that will help, but I encourage you to search our website as the plant grows. There is a lot of helpful information there (https://www.gardeningknowhow.com)
