Anonymous Unregistered A	Heres some info I found... Quote Gardenias encounter �bud drop� where flower buds drop off just before they open. Causes can include low humidity, overwatering, underwatering, insufficient light and high temperatures. Nighttime temperatures in the range of 50 to 55 degrees are necessary for proper bud formation.
