DESCRIPTION

Introducing the Gardenia Jasminoides, a timeless beauty boasting lush, dark green foliage and exquisite, fragrant white flowers. Originating from East Asia, this plant brings an element of sophistication and sensory delight to your living space. To ensure its optimal growth, place the Gardenia in a well-lit spot with bright, indirect light, shielding it from harsh, direct sunlight. In Singapore's climate, maintain the soil consistently moist, allowing the top inch to gently dry out before the next watering, and use well-draining soil to prevent waterlogged conditions.

The Gardenia thrives in conditions of high humidity, preferring a moist and well-drained environment.
