Hey Rosey and Fragrant! It is a must that I use vinegar in my water solution so as to water with an acidic solution instead of one to neutral and high in pH. You see, in most cities such as mine, the pH of my water runs as high as 8.0 - 8.7. Using vinegar brings the pH down and temporarily makes all the nutrients available to my plants that otherwise would be held up the the mix from pH that is too high. So I use one tbsp per gallon of water when I start to see the leaves on my plants loose their luster and vivid green. My plants would otherwise be yellow and much malnourished if I did no do so and most likely die. Living in the Caribbean and having friends that are growers of gardenia and citrus in major nurseries that provide the most greenest plants I have ever seen have taught me this secret. Of course they use a different product for industrial purposes to lower their pH water solution but vinegar is a great and cheap sustitute for the home hobbyist. It would be a good idea to check with your water supplier to find out what the pH of your water is. For you Rosey, I wouldn't be surprised if it was over 8.0 and that was a major cause of decline in vigor of some of your plants, especially gardenia. I hope this helps! By the way, which is good for you to go to Logee's? This Saturday or the 4th on of this month? Mike

It can be as long as a mo nth or two depending on humidity, warmth and sunlight. I have seen them open much faster and last longer with good humidity and take forever to open or even grow in very dry weather.
