Well—it’s a great day. My indoor potted gardenia experiment worked. It actually worked. I placed a tray of pebbles filled with water underneath the pot (apparently this keeps the gardenia in a humid environment; I don’t know why). Then I misted the plant twice a day. I put it in indirect sunlight. I watered it once a week. I fertilized it just once. Two weeks later, I see this bloom! It smells so good and fills my heart with the joy of simple pleasures. I’m so glad God made gardenia.
