# Hi all, I have a new gardenia (planted 2 weeks ago) next to my front…

_Posted by Adam on 2023-10-22_

Hi all, I have a new gardenia (planted 2 weeks ago) next to my front porch that is really struggling. I have another on the other side of the porch that is doing fine.

I know the drainage on this side that’s struggling is poor, \& have tried adding fertilizer \& adjusting the watering amount, but it just keeps getting worse (more and more yellow leaves).

Does anyone have any ideas / suggestions?
