# I bought this gardenia a month or two ago from Costco and originally…

_Posted by Ashley on 2025-06-27_

I bought this gardenia a month or two ago from Costco and originally had it in full sun as the tag with the pot said full to part sun. I noticed the leaves started yellowing. I have since moved it to a shadier area yet the leaves are still yellowing? Could this be due to not enough sun now? Any tips would be appreciated.

Yellow leaves could be a result of overwatering or nutrient deficiencies. Make sure the pot drains properly and adjust watering first. If the yellow continues, try fertilizer
