Hi everyone

I bought a pot of Gardenia Jasmeniodes in january and it was full of buds and a couple of blooms. It was freezing weather so the nursery had probably raised under controlled temprature.
As soon as I brought it home it started dropping it's buds. Later in spring I divided the plants in the pot (three of them) and potted them up. Since then the plants have maintained there lush green and seem to be doing okay. However they have not grown and the buds that were there initially are still there and there's not a single bloom despite the plants being full of buds. I haven't been able to find a shaded spot on the garden so the only place with any shade I could find has dappled shade for half the day and full shade for the rest of the day. Are the plants not blooming because they are recieving sunlight? What can I do to make them bloom?

Thanks

Viqar
