Gardenia leaves are very persnickety when you move them to a new location and respond by yellowing leaves. Reduced direct sunlight, dry ambient humidity in the home and-or inconsistent watering can promote this. Do not water based on a schedule; instead, insert a finger and water as soon as the top soil feels dry. Increase the ambient humidity in the room and-or use grow lights if the plant gets little direct sunlight. Place the container by a south facing window, about a foot/0.3-0.5 meter away or so.

It needs direct exposure to sunlight, a cool environment, and humidity. They are finicky indoors. This article explains how to care for them.
