Optimal Gardenia Planting Location in Your Garden.
To ensure optimal growth of gardenias, it is crucial to choose the right spot in your garden. Gardenias prefer a humid climate, ample sunlight, slightly acidic, well-draining soil, and protection from frost. Proper planting techniques and consistent care, including watering deeply and consistently, applying a balanced, acidic fertilizer, and mulching, are essential for their long-term success.
