Gardenia won't open!

Hi everyone, I hope someone can give me some advice please. My husband bought me a gorgeous Gardenia(see photo) for my birthday a month ago. The florist assured him that it would soon burst into bloom! Still waiting. I'm in Cyprus so the weather is still good. I've looked at forums and websites galore and get the feeling that these plans are a bit of a conundrum. It seems what works for one doesn't work for another. I have it in a pot with water in the bottom (humidity?),but not touching the roots? Also am occasionally misting the leaves (again humidity). First had it indoors in a well lit place but not direct sunlight, now it's outside in morning sun only. I've had about 6/7 buds turn brown a the base and drop off but overall it looks healthy, the leaves are glossy. Any ideas, or is it going to be one of those plants that just won't respond? Many thanks in advance.
