Proper temperatures are necessary for a gardenia to bloom.
This is the most critical aspect of getting your Gardenia to bloom. Flower buds will fail to form if day temperatures are higher than 70° or if night temperatures are over 65° or below 60°. The ideal temperature ranges would be 65 to 70° during the day and 60° to 62° at night.

Extract from The Garden Helper (How to grow Gardenia).

First two gifts of friends, forth from Adnan.
They have improved a lot by addition of Iron Sulphate and Sulpher, the Florida is on buds.
