This is so helpful , and so simple. thank you is so exciting to see the roots in a transparent container.I best to wait until the roots are longer, than short , they don't have enough strength t o hold on and they die. Gardenia plant are so expensive to buy, small plant, $ 25 .
You're a lucky lady to have a gardenia plant here in England. It's very difficult to grow. I spend lot's off £but never succeed one off my favourite plant
Sorry to hear that. I live in New York in the US. They are difficult here too. I love them so much, but they are not hardy for my zone and every insect seems to want to snack on them! It is a constant battle!!
I haven't tried, but I imagine since the branches are woodier you would be better off using a rooting hormone and sticking in soil. If you do them from hardwood cuttings you won't have to worry about humidity. I did root grape vines in just water but my success rate was lower than when I stuck them in soil. If you try it, let me know what happens!!
Use Holly tone or another fertilizer for acid loving plants. You can also use a standard slow release fertilizer and a some dried coffee grounds to lower the ph. They like there soil slightly acidic.

Can you fertilize the plant in the winter, when it’s in the house????

Where did you get that scoop? I can’t find it anywhere. Looks very functional.
I got it in the center aisle of Lidl. It came with a shaker attachment so you can shake fertilizer. It's great and it was super cheap.
Will this work on other types of fruit trees? Would it work on apples, pears, plums for example?

Do you change the water?
Yes, when it starts to have debris in it or look cloudy. It is best to use room temperature water when you change.
Thank you propogate them too and take ages but will try your method and let you know how I go..thank you x
