Spend a few minutes deadheading each week when the gardenias are actively in bloom. After the main flush of flowering is over, remove any remaining spent blooms and prune back the tips. Tip pruning encourages branching so the gardenia can produce more flower buds the following season.
Yellow leaves on your gardenia could be caused by a couple of different things. It sounds like you've got the water thing under control; gardenias should be kept evenly moist but not soggy or standing in water. Raise the humidity around your plant if you can. Next, I'd recommend fertilizing with a water-soluble fertilizer mixed at half strength every two weeks.
