Is Gardenia suitable for the living room?

1. Is it suitable?

Whether it is suitable for the living room depends on how long it is placed. During the day, you are almost always working outside and won’t sleep or rest even at home. This is a good time to relax. Its floral fragrance is strong but non-toxic and will not affect the body. However, the fragrance of the flowers can easily cause insomnia during rest time at night. If you place it in the living room, the fragrance will spread to the bedroom. Therefore, it is best not to place it in the living room at night when it is in bloom.

2. Daily maintenance

1. Watering: Water when the soil is dry or wet, but do not allow water to accumulate. In summer, you should sprinkle more water to cool down and increase the humidity. Pay attention to water control in winter, usually watering once a week is enough.
