- Soil requirements: Gerbera daisies prefer well-draining soil with a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: These plants thrive in full sun to partial shade. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming.
- Watering requirements: Gerbera daisies require moderate watering. Water the plants when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Gerbera seeds is in the spring after the last frost has passed. They can also be started indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date.
- Depth and spacing: Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in. Do not cover the seeds with soil as they need light to germinate. Space the seeds about 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Gerbera seeds typically germinate within 14-30 days under optimal conditions. Maintain a consistent temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
- Maturity time: Gerbera daisies usually reach maturity and start blooming within 14-18 weeks after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest Gerbera flowers is early in the morning when the blooms are fully open and the stems are firm.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp, clean pair of scissors or pruning shears to cut the stems at an angle. Place the cut flowers in a vase with fresh water immediately. To prolong the vase life, change the water every 2-3 days and trim the stems slightly each time.
