The Gardenia Bud Always Turn Brown And Fall, Why?

Anonymous answered

My potted gardenia is growing new leaves, but some of the older ones from the tips are turning from green to brown. Also there is a small amount of new leaves this is happening too as well.
Thanking you in anticipation for your help.

Recommend that you go ahead and plant them in the ground. They could be getting root-bound if the pots aren't big enough. Gardenia doesn't like a whole lot of water which could cause the buds to darken and fall off.
They also bloom better in sun to part shade. Too much shade can cause the blooms to not open.
Hope this helps.
