Pruning Gardenias

[Jacko]

I'm looking for advice on pruning my gardenias. I've previously just taken the tops off. I would like to get them more bushy and full in the body and eventually be able to shape them. But I'm worried I will ruin them if I prune them back to much. Were should I cut to? Thanks in advance

Cut above any pair of buds, with or without leaves. As long as you leave some leaves on the plant you won't kill it.
