[quote=Anonymous]I inherited a gardenia plant that is very old, and after several years I seem to be killing it. I kept it outdoors last summer, where it thrived, and keep it near a sunny window while indoors. For a while it looked like it had sooty old, so I careflly cleaned off all the leaves. And now I think it has developed spider mites. The leaves are browning and dropping like crazy. Is there anything I can do to save this plant? I've read online that I can address the spider mites by taking it outside and drenching it with the hose. It's warm today so I can do that. Do I need to take it out of the pot and add all new soil? Should I prune it to remove those little crossing branches where all the leaves have died? I'd love to save this old plant if I can. Thanks for any advice. [/quote]
