I could keep this alive as long as cut flowers, right? Brussel's Bonsai 8-inch White Gardenia in Clay Pot: "Your small 4 year old bonsai will arrive at 6-inch to 8-inch tall in a 6-inch container and will perform best outdoors." $35 at Lowes. Harry & David has a nicer looking one (in the image, anyway) for $69.99, or there are two sizes at Bonsai Boy ($49.99 - $69.95).
If I didn’t have a black thumb and live in a van, I’d get one of these?
Here you go — artificial “silk” gardenias, in all sorts of improbable colors! Purple! Royal Blue!

I love this.
There are videos on YouTube if you want to DIY!
Ohhhh I want that! Sadly, my gardenia stopped flowering months ago
now it just forms buds, and then the buds brown and fall off. It’s very sad.
Gardenias in general would rather be outside, I think.
Mine ARE outside.
