Common Questions

Q

Can Gerbera daisies be grown indoors?

A

Gerbera daisies are commonly initiated indoors from seeds, but they thrive best when grown outdoors in the long run, requiring plenty of sunlight and nutrient-rich soil. Although Gerbera daisies are occasionally presented as potted gifts, they usually do not have a long lifespan or bloom repeatedly.

Q

Are Gerbera daisies easy to grow?

A

Gerbera daisies can thrive outdoors with proper care. To grow them successfully, it's essential to monitor their water, light, and soil conditions diligently.

Q

My plants are getting excessively bushy, what can I do?

A

Q

How get I get my gerbera to give me more blooms?

A

Fertilizing your plants every 2 weeks with a high phosphorus, bloom boosting fertilizer can help. If you are amid summer the heat can suppress blooms, try moving them indoors until the hot weather passes.

Q

My leaves are turning yellow, why?

A

Yellowing of lower leaves or the discoloration of plant tissue between green veins is often a sign of iron deficiency, which can impact flower production.

Factors like temperatures below 68 degrees F, waterlogged soil, and unhealthy roots can also hinder nutrient absorption. Monitor temperatures, soil moisture, pH levels, and root condition to identify the underlying issue. Adjust soil pH if necessary or introduce iron chelates. Remember to avoid overwatering to maintain plant health.

Q

A

Deadheading will extend your bloom season. As blooms fade, deadhead or prune the flower stems to the leaves where they emerge. Also to keep your plants looking tidy and encourage new leaf growth, pinch or trim older fading leaves.
