Why are my Gardenias turning yellow?

Question

My Gardenia leaves are turning yellow and droopy. I don’t know what is wrong. They are in direct sunlight and get plenty of water when needed.

Answer 1

Although gardenias can tolerate some direct sun, they will need shade for most of the day. They do best with just a few hours of morning sun, and the rest of the day should be shaded, or dappled light.

They are also not cold tolerant, but this should be less of a concern in your area. They are fully hardy in your zone.
