I bought Gardenia jasminoides seeds from T&M group purchase, used peat, coco peat, perlite and compost as the potting mix... got excellent germination, 18 out of 20 seeds germinated:
Hope they are not G. taitensis type and grow well.. will keep updated..

Peat moss, Compost, perlite 1:1:1 ratio.. after sowing and watering cover the pot with plastic sheet and keep in shade, remove the sheet after 4-5 days.. once germinated and first true leaves are formed, gradually bring them into full sun...
My plants are in full sun..water with ferrous sulfate solution (1 tsp in 1 litre water) every 15 days.. they have long roots so use a deep pot..
They should be sown in early spring so they could mature before winter arrives, I will transplant them when they are around 4 inches tall..

Asalam-u-Alaikum Izhar Bhai & all,
I went to buy Perlite/Vermiculite on (TERMiNiX SHOP) Opposite old sabzi mandi/Askari Park. he said the 200grm in small Jar will b for Rs.500/-. do both things are too costly? if yes kindly tell me Substitute of this.
Epsom Salt & Ferrous Sulfate do same work?

Muhammad Kashif.
