The Gerbera is a cheerful, flowering plant known for its large, daisy-like blooms in vibrant colours like pink and yellow. It thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil kept consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage new flowers and keep the plant looking tidy. Gerberas also appreciate a balanced liquid fertilizer every 23 weeks during the blooming season.
