How do you reproduce gardenia plants?

Answer 1

A gardenia is an evergreen acid loving plant. If you plan to keep it indoors, then be prepared to give it afternoon partial sun. It likes the fertilizer for azalias and rhododendrons, and doesn't like wet feet. The occasional yellow leaf is normal, in fact, the plant may have up to 10% yellow leaves during flowering. Do not be alarmed as this is normal behavior for the gardenia. If you live in a moderate climate, you can grow this plant outdoors. It loves a shade garden, and will happily blend in with azalias. My gardenia bush is about 18 years old, and is 8 feet tall and 15 feet around. I live in zone 9.

Answer 2

Gardenias can be propagated by taking softwood cuttings in the spring or summer. Remove a cutting with at least three sets of leaves and plant it in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the cutting moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.

Answer 3

The very best way to reproduce gardenia plants is to use the cuttings from an adult plant and re-plant them. In turn, the cuttings will grow into their very own gardenia plant.

Answer 4
