When gardenias are moved indoors in winter, they should be kept in good sunlight. Keep the lighting at about 60% and keep them on a balcony with good light. It should not be too stuffy when kept indoors, and windows should be opened frequently at noon for ventilation. The temperature in winter is relatively low and the growth is very slow. Watering and fertilization should be reduced appropriately. It is best to keep the indoor temperature at around 6-12°C. If the temperature is low, wrap the flowerpot with foam plastic. Prune and reshape the plants in winter, and remove diseased, weak, and leggy branches.
