The gerbera daisies plant is also known as Transvaal
daisies or gerber daisies, the plants are attention-getters with showy,
long-lasting blooms, short stems, and impressive, bright green foliage. The gerbera
daisies plants are relatively simple to grow outdoors, but growing them indoors
can be a little bit tricky. The gerbera daisies plants are often given as
gifts, and they are usually grown for a single blooming season before being
discarded. Nevertheless, if you can provide the right the growing conditions
the plants, your plants may survive for 2 or 3 years.
How to Grow a Gerbera Daisy Indoors
Actually the gerbera houseplants
require an unusual combination of bright light and moderate temperatures. A
spot that is closed to a sunny window may be too hot and can easily scorch the
leaves, but without adequate light, the gerbera daisy plant won’t produce
blooms. A bright sunlight in the morning often works well, but make sure the gerbera
daisy plant is protected from bright light during the afternoon. Although the gerbera
daisies plants tolerate cool temperatures, the plant won’t survive long in
temperatures above seventy degrees Fahrenheit.
If the gerbera daisies plants are
located in indirect light, make sure it gets light all day. You can turn on
lamps or overhead lights to supplement available light, most especially during
the winter.
How to Care for Gerbera Daisies Indoors
If you can provide sufficient bright
light to keep your gerbera daisies plants happy, the plant care indoors is
minimal. Make sure you water the gerbera daisies plants deeply whenever the top
inch (2.5 cm.) of soil feels dry to the touch. Make sure you let the pot drain
thoroughly before replacing it on the saucer or drip tray, as the gerbera
daisies plants are likely to rot in soggy soil. Make sure you water carefully
and also keep the leaves as dry as possible. You can water sparingly during the
winter months, but do not allow the soil to become bone dry.
