Gardenias: High Maintenance

Require: direct sun or 14-hour supplemental light, 12°F night temp drop (70→58°F). Impractical for most offices.

No plant blooms in true darkness (where hand casts no shadow).

To recommend specifically: light level, window direction, days/week occupied, supplemental fluorescent lighting?
