Re: Fwd: growing gardenias indoors

Another two cents: Since they are native to a rather humid climate, they may appreciate occasional misting indoors, especially in winter.

Does "sprayed" mean insecticidal soap, insecticide, herbicide????

Hiya! One of the ladies on gardenchat (Cathy in IL) just got a potted gardenia as a Mother's Day gift. They are not hardy up there and she didn't think it would survive indoors. I told her about that huge one you had in the living room on Lockhart St. and told her I would ask you what you did for it. It was very healthy and bloomed like crazy as I recall. Any tips 
you have will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Mom!
