Help please!

Help! I am not good with plants. I ordered this dwarf gardenia and it was delivered absolutely beautiful and green. I've had it out on my patio but it started turning so I've moved it inside. I've bought gardenia fertilizer and tried different things but nothing is working. I bought a new pot and compost and was thinking if I repot it that it might help. Before I do I thought I would ask on here.

A lot of times they are ready for a bigger pot when you get them. Then it won't dry out so fast and it will be happier when you put it outside again. Acid fertilizer for gardenias is also a great help.

Hello, if that picture of your gardenia is how it's looking right now, with all the spotting leaves, I would research fungal/bacterial infections in gardenias and check the roots for rot as soon as possible.
