| More About Gerbera Daisy |

Gerbera daisy prefers a partially sun location and rich, slightly moist soil. They don't like super-hot weather so try to keep them out of direct summer sun. Clip the flowers as they fade to encourage more blooms. Water whenever the soil feels dry to the touch. The amount of fertilizer your Gerbera needs depends on the quality of your soil. To keep it blooming all summer, a monthly feeding with a water-soluble, or adding an organic compost around the roots is advised. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
