How to grow and care for gerbera
Gerberas produce bright, colourful flowers on long stems during the warmer months of the year. Gerbera daisies grow in most Australian climates, except the very coldest – where you could try growing them as indoor plant instead.
Grow gerberas from potted plants or seeds planted out after the risk of frost has passed. They love a full sun spot in a free draining soil or plant in raised beds or containers if needed.
Top 5 steps to growing gerbera
- Choose a full sun spot in a free draining soil.
- Gerbera can be grown from gerbera seeds or potted plants easily during the warmest months of the year.
- Gerbera hate wet feet, waterlogged soil or potting mix will quickly cause them to rot.
- Fertilise with Scotts Osmocote® Controlled Release Fertiliser: Roses, Gardenias, Azaleas & Camellias in spring and again in summer
- Harvest gerbera flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and remove any dead flowers throughout the season.
