Is a gardenia plant an indoor plant?
It can be but depending on the gardening zone you live in, it does not have to be.
Reply:outdoors for summer, check label and see if its winter hardy, some are, if you bought at a jewel store and not a plant place,chances are it's only good for summer outside.
Reply:It can be if you put it somewhere where there is a lot of sun light but usually they are not.
Reply:Gardenias are usually grown outdoors, in sun or partial shade. If you want to try to grow one indoors, then you should place the plant in a location that receives some direct sun during part of the day, such as a window sill.





Gardenias are woody shrubs, some varieties of which can get 8 feet tall or taller. So to experiment with growing one indoors, you should pick a variety that has been bred to remain small. The Sunset Western Garden Book mentions several small varieties -- for example, "White Gem" grows 1-2 feet tall and is listed as being a good container plant.





Gardenias like an acid soil that drains well but retains moisture. So use plenty of organic matter, such as peat moss, in the potting soil. Good luck!
