How Can More Gerbera Daisies Be Obtained?

Gerbera daisies are a popular flowering plant native to South Africa, known for their vivid colors and bold silhouettes. They can be grown from seed, but it takes four to six months for the plants to flower. To start, sow the seeds indoors eight to 10 weeks before the last frost in spring. Gerbera daisies thrive best under full sun but do not like intense heat. If you live in a climate with particularly hot summers, add gerbera daisies to your garden after the last spring frost. Bury the plant so that the crown remains at or slightly above the soil level.

Plant Gerbera daisy seeds indoors before the last frost. Gerbera daisies are not frost-hardy and need warmth to germinate. Stems should be cut in the morning when stems are most full of water and placed directly in a holding solution treated with a Gerbera tab. These tabs are essential for proper growth and reproduction.

Feed the plants every two weeks with a water-soluble fertilizer with a low middle number (like 15-7-15 or 12-2-12) to help blooming rather than leaf growth. Plant in free-draining, sandy soil amended with well-rotted compost in a sunny, warm, sheltered garden. Ensure the crowns are well-drained and well-rotted to ensure healthy growth.
