# I got a gardenia plant from my local nursery here in Ottawa and it…

_Posted by Jaya on 2024-07-20_

I got a gardenia plant from my local nursery here in Ottawa and it drew well for a few months, but we’ve had some uncertain weather with rain and then low temperature and then again.  
I I have fertilized this plant, I watered the plant regularly. I have not reported it because the the Nursery owner told me to leave it in the same pot for a few more months however, now I’m noticing that the leaves are turning yellow and I’m not sure what is wrong with the plant. I checked the top of the soil. It is damp. I also checked the bottom of the soil it is damp so here’s some picture. I have not noticed any insects on the plant either  
If any anyone can provide advice or help, that would be great  
I love north east facing house so this plant is in the front yard in a pot and I do get about 4 to 5 hours of good sunlight during the day
