Outdoor Gardenia

The plant known as Gardenia Jasminoides, is a popular houseplant. This plant is native to China and Japan and is a member of the Rubiaceae family. It is a small, evergreen shrub that can grow up to 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide.

The leaves of the Indoor Cape Jasmine are oval-shaped and shiny, with a deep green color that contrasts beautifully with the white, waxy flowers. The flowers are large, double-petaled, and have a sweet, intoxicating fragrance that fills the room.

The gardenia is a relatively easy plant to care for, but it does require some attention to thrive. It prefers bright, indirect light and moist, well-draining soil. It is sensitive to overwatering, so it is important to let the soil dry out slightly between waterings.
