What height does Gardenia O So Fine grow to?

Gardenia O So Fine grows to about 50 cm tall and 1.2 m wide as a general rule. It tends to grow taller in partial shade conditions compared to when grown in full sun. Similarly, the size also depends on the level of trimming and how well the plant is cared for with regards to fertiliser and watering during dry periods.

What growing conditions are best for Gardenia O So Fine?

Gardenia O So Fine grows best in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of light frost only and does require shelter from wind. A soil rich in organic matter that does not dry out during summer is ideal. Clay soil, heavy soils, or areas with wetness should be avoided as the plants will struggle and are likely to fail. Heavy shade positions should be avoided also. The goal is to ensure they receive good amounts of dappled sunlight or about 3-4 hours of direct sun per day.

Gardenia O So Fine care

Gardenia O So Fine can be susceptible to various problems if not cared for correctly. Gardenias are acid-loving plants and alkaline soils can lead to nutrient deficiencies, particularly iron chlorosis, which causes yellowing leaves. It is very important to make sure the soil is acidic, and to use acidic fertilisers. Both overwatering and underwatering can cause problems. Overwatering leads to root rot, while underwatering causes wilting and bud drop. They need consistent moisture, and a well-drained soil. Common pests include aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, scale insects, and spider mites. Gardenias are susceptible to fungal diseases like powdery mildew, leaf spots, anthracnose, and sooty mould. Both the pests and diseases can easily be controlled with an appropriate agrichemical but only if levels start to impact the aesthetics and health of the plant.
