    I bought a couple of Gardenia (trees) about 4 feet high in 10" pots. They look very healthy at this point with a dozen or so buds.
    Because of the nature of my property, (house built on a rock) I am limited to a large wooden deck and have to keep all plants bushes etc., in pots of varying sizes. I have a south facing deck with sun from 11am to 3pm. I have an irrigation system
    installed.
    So my question is, how should I proceed on transplanting from the bought pots, to their permanent home? Then on going maintenance for the zone that I am in (Nanaimo 8.0)
    I purchased good potting soil (Miracle Grow).
    Look forward to getting some advice from the forum
    Thanks in advance,

    Diggs

    Grow as permanent container plants that are moved under cover during cold periods.
