I’ve had my gardenia for a few months now and it’s been watered, misted, and fertilized on schedule, give or take a day or two.

I think it had spider mites a few weeks ago so I ran the whole thing under the faucet protecting the soil and I think it solved that issue.

Now I’m getting a few green leaves dropping off when I check for mites during the watering schedule. I’m barely brushing the leaves up and they’re falling off. Any idea what’s going on?
