Gardenias only bloom once per season.

Answer 2

You answered your question, the heat will prevent many plants from blooming as transpiration is halted for moisture for new bloom and is used to keep the main plant alive. When it becomes more seasonable, your Gardenia will know when to produce new bloom.
