Leaves and Buds Falling Off Gardenia Plant

I purchased a gardenia plant about 6 weeks ago. I transplanted it to a pot (with drainage) and the buds fall off, leaves are spotting brown, then turning brown and falling off. I noticed it looked as there were light cobwebs on the plant. I sprayed it with a plant spray, but the problem continues. Can you help me?
