# Any recommendations for my gardenia? I bought it about a month ago.…

_Posted by Büşra on 2026-08-06_

Any recommendations for my gardenia? I bought it about a month ago. The flowers dropped first, and now some of the leaves are starting to turn yellow. It’s currently in bright shade and gets a little afternoon sun. Any ideas on what might be causing this or what I should do?

Yes!! I love them when they bloom. Does she know how to take care of my gardenia? Its my first time growing them at house

Nutrient issue perhaps? Did you overfeed it? Or has it been in that pot for a long time?
