Hello. I am wondering if you can help me. I just purchased a gardenia about 3 weeks ago it’s a large Plant about 2 feet high from the base of the dirt and it was very beautiful when I bought it. Slowly it’s starting to discolor and deteriorate I have transplanted it water it regularly and spray it with fresh water daily. But the result is attached in the picture. Please help. Thank you so much

Gardenia are very finicky plants!

It is difficult to make them happy and when they change environments they can be difficult to keep happy.

You are correct on the misting, but the heavy water droplets on your plant can be a problem. If the leaves stay wet, it can cause fungus problems.

Here are some articles that will help you.
