Two gardenias I planted a month ago are growing well, but dropping leaves, and one is dropping buds before opening. What is needed?
Newly planted trees and shrubs show symptoms of transplant shock when this happens. Also it’s late in the season for gardenias to be blooming, so some of bud drop is normal. Make sure the root ball remains moist by building a 4 to 6″ berm of soil to trap water. Feed every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain growth with a good gardenia fertilizer.
