    My Missus has a Gardinia that is looking a little sorry for itself and we don't know why. She is about to give up on it but I'd thought i'd post here to see if there were any ideas on how to rescue it or even get cuttings from it.

    Not an expert on these but that does look sorry for itself. It looks to have run out of nutrients - you could try and repot in ericaceous compost and keep it somewhere in good light but not direct sun. Also they need to be kept moist but not over-watered.

      The only thing I would add is that they like high humidity, so will need something to aid this. You could try regular spraying with water, or place in a tray/saucer filled with gravel or somesuch. I’m assuming you don’t normally keep it next to the radiator?
