Gardenia plant ?

I bought a new gardenia two weeks ago, and I don't know how to take care of it. I have other plants that are good and healthy, but this gardenia is tricky, I sometimes find the leaves wilt.

so what should I do? should I water it everyday?!!
Gardenia plant ?
first add a few coffee grinds once every month in a half and water.



the coffee grinds will give it the acid needed.



water 4 times a week, or once every 2 days. when cool, or indoors water once every three days.



needs lots of sun too
Reply:Any new plant is likley to be a little wilty at first. Gardenias do like moisture and some shade - they resent full West or South sun exposures (afternoon full sun). If you have it in a dry bed or in full sun - move it to better quarters, otherwise, just baby it a little with some extra water and once the root system becomes more robust, it will stop wilting - my established Gardenia only has some yellowing when it needs an application of Iron supplement, otherwise it is a champion and quite drought tolerant.
Reply:gardenias require water on a daily basis
