My Gardenia, aka Blanche, is putting out flowers! Curious if I should snip off the flower to promote the other buds? Or should I leave it alone? Thank you in advance!

Be still my heart! What I would give to be able to nurture a gardenia!! I’ve tried twice and don’t know what I’m doing wrong. They are my absolute favorite. Unfortunately any advice from me will kill her! 😂😂
