Gerbera (50 Pieces FOB)

Description

Because Gerbera daisies develop deep root systems, they don’t tolerate repotting well. So they usually survive for about only three years as potted houseplants. Provide indoor, potted Gerbera daisies with bright, all-day sunlight in spring, summer and fall. Let the pot drain completely before returning the plant to its usual location. Water at the base, keeping the leaves dry. In winter, water sparingly. During spring and summer feed the plant with regular fertilizer. Gerbera daisies are a frost-sensitive perennial. In areas with mild, frost-free winters, the plants grow and bloom year-round. … In areas with cold winters, you can grow this cheerful plant as an annual or keep it in pots in a greenhouse for the winter.  To preserve them and keep blooms bright and attractive, keep them in a temperature range of 40 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Summer heat will often end gerbera blooms early; some gardeners transfer them indoors after they bloom to enjoy the flowers longer. Usually, gerbera daisies will spread quickly (once mature) about one to two feet, while still staying in a tight crown. If you plant more, give the original plant space (12–18 inches).
