My Gardenia is telling me that it needs water and I’m skeptical. Now, I need to preface this with the fact that it’s told me it’s needed water for the past three days and I have watered it dutifully the prior times. But a third time? That just seems like I’m playing with fire. So I’m not going to water it today and see what if it gives me more information tomorrow.
On the plus side, the new buds seem to be thriving and I haven’t noticed any more yellow leaves since pulling off three last week.
I will continue to monitor the water situation.
