Gardenia Flowers

Question

After the white flower starts to turn yellowish and shrivel, should the flower be taken off? There are many other buds on the plant, which is indoors in a sunroom (Ohio).

Answer 1

It sounds like it could use a little more humidity. You can either mist it daily, or set it on a tray of pebbles with water poured on the pebbles (the water should not touch the pot). This will raise the humidity.

You can remove the yellowing flowers.
