They prefer direct morning sun and afternoon shade. Unless you're in temperatures of 80ºF and higher, allow the gerberas to receive more shade (at least two to three hours a day). If the gerbera is placed indoors, make sure to place next to a window.
Deeply water your plants once a week.
Water in the morning so the soil can dry throughout the day.
Keep in an area with full direct sunlight.
Use micronutrient-rich plant fertilizer.
Be sure to trim the plant after the bloom starts to wilt to help new blooms grow.
Gerberas can be grown indoors or outside. With their bright, cheery colours, they work well in many styles of garden.
Gerberas bear huge daisy-like blooms on long stems, from clumps of lobed leaves. Long-flowering, they're perfect for pots.
