How to grow gardenias

It's been a day that I spent thinking on what's missing on my blog posts and realized I've wrote on daily life, places to see, gave a few receipts, wrote on my mischievous pet and shared items from the shops of friends and mine, but there wasn't any posts on nature's most beautiful gifts for us; flowers. my mom loves to grow different plants and flowers. You may see her digging the soil in flower pots and placing some seeds she got from the fruit or flowers :) Mostly she manages the seed grow, but not always it is what she expects it to be :) Sure there are various flowers in pots according to the season in our balconies and ledges. We keep having more and more flowers, because my brother buys new ones so often and mom loves to take care of them. Me? I love to watch them :) as they bloom in lovely colors. On one of the last visits to a supermarket, my brother bought this gardenias. Mom sddressed it 'Miss Gardenia' and it's the plant's name ever since. He searched the net to tell mom how to take care of it and the first thing they learned was it has to be made from terracotta so a search started to find the pot, because these days one we can purchase in malls are of tin or plastic. In a few weeks after checking many malls and stores we found it and the plant was placed with a ceremony into it. They advise terracotta pots, becasue the soil has to sweat and get air not only from the top, but also from the sides that lets the air pass through. After the pot issue was solved then we had to find the place where it was to stand, because we read that the plant was so delicate and has to see the direct sunlight just from the behind of tulle. Even they are being grown in gardens, it's said they should only see direct sunlight as I've written above for half a hour a day in Summer and be in shade for the rest of all the day and on other seasons when Sun rays are cooler, it may sunbathe for an hour :) This kind of Sun theraphy will make the flowers remain longer and smell stronger. Now we've placed our plant to the right pot, right place and all we have to do is to give water once in three days. I deeply recommend you to have one. I'm sure you all wil like it...
