My gardenia is telling me I overwatered it. You see, I’ve spent a long time observing this plant. And one of the things I noticed one morning after waking up before the sun was that the leaves had a certain glassy quality that was striking. On googling, I found out that it means that things are healthy! Finally an indicator I can glom on to! So needless to say I’ve started to become paranoid about the level of glassy…ness. Even so much as to give away valuable intel and alert my sister and mom about said observation so they too can join me in my obsession.
So this morning at 5am, I noticed my new top leaves didn’t have the same glass type quality that the rest of the leaves had. Is it just that they are new leaves? Are they too big (seriously they are huge compared to the rest of the plant)? Did I overwater it yesterday? How do I fix overwatering? That’s not a hypothetical, seriously can someone help me fix overwatering? (A quick search says to stop watering it. Thanks google.)
On the plus side, my mom informed me that she left the gardenia out in the sun all day inadvertently. It is truly a war of attrition.
