How to plant & care for Gerbera

WATER:
When the top soil feels dry, water your Gerbera Daisy deeply. Water at the base, keeping the leaves dry and let the pot drain completely.
EXPOSURE:
Gerbera Daisies will be able to show off their beautiful flowers the most when placed in a location that gets a lot of sunshine and a little bit of shade each day.
PRUNING:
Deadhead regularly for the best results.
PROPAGATION:
Remove a small portion of your existing Gerbera Daisy plant and separate the root system. Place individual root systems into new pots with nutrient dense soil.
FERTILIZER:
Use a low-phosphorous fertilizer about once a month during growing season.
