    Yellowing leaves: Root rot can lead to yellowing leaves. Try to pull the plant up. If it come s out of the ground easily and the roots are mushy, root rot is the culprit and the plant should be discarded. Iron chlorosis (iron deficiency) causes yellow leaves; adjust the soil pH and, possibly, apply a foliar feed of iron.

    Do you use any type of fertilizer? if so is it for acid loving plants. also if it has been damp for several days you may want to place a small fan to blow gently on the leaves and dry them out.

    You need to be sure your plant isn't receiving direct sunlight through the glass. Gardenias would be happier outside in semi shade with you bringing them into the house in the winter if you have issues with frost. Fertilizing with an acidifying fertilizer like Miracle Gro Miracid is a good option. This fertilizer will also work for azaleas, camellias, ferns and other acid lovers. To encourage blooms once the plant is healthier use something like water soluble Super Bloom alternating with the Miracid. Be careful not to over feed.

    This is most likely a watering issue, one of your containers may be draining water more quickly. Soil can dry out at different rates.

    Container plants may need additional watering when days are hot, even twice a day in some cases.

    I would keep it in the pot at this time. It's happy if its going to bloom for you! Gardenia are a very finicky plant, so the less stress the better.

    If you have them planted in a sunny spot with good soil and regularly fertilize and deadhead them, your gardenias should perform very well. This article may help
