Okay friends. This dwarf gardenia was in a particularly perilous spot of my front garden and over the years has slowly been dying off and getting smaller (you can see some dead growth at the base that I cut off) after some light reading on gardenias, I figured it’s chances of survival might be better off collected and potted. If she dies, well it’s just a 7 dollar plant I bought 3 years ago. But I really hope I can save it! Something about it is interesting.
okay into the question. A LOT of the root mass was dead, and the roots were sodried out I’m not even sure what was alive or not, so I triedto keep as much as possible. I potted it up with some jacks bonsai soil and there isn’t muchroom for the roots to spread in this pot. What do you all think, should I leave her in the bonsai soil/pot or move to a bigger pot with regular soil? Also open to other after collection care suggestions! (Pictures taken inside bc it was dark by the time I was finished, but I’ll be trying to keep it outdoors as much as possible, weather permitting)

)... and the whole stagger, and bounce back thing is MUCH more difficult if the tree is struggling “back” ANYWAYS.
