Its flower language is mutual respect, mutual love, persistence, love, etc. One stem of gerbera The flowers are upright and come in red, yellow, orange, pink, etc., with rich colors. The flowering period lasts from November to April, making it a good cut flower material.

Gerbera maintenance methods and precautions

Gerbera is a perennial herbaceous plant that likes an environment with sufficient light and has strong reproductive ability. When maintaining potted plants, you need to focus on the following points: point.

1. Slightly acidic soil

Gerbera prefers loose, breathable and fertile slightly acidic soil. When maintaining potted plants, it is recommended to use 1 part peat soil, 1 part humus soil and perlite. Mix 1 part evenly before planting. Avoid heavy soil. Water accumulation will cause the gerbera to wither. When choosing a flowerpot, Lanyao recommends that you choose a flowerpot with many drainage holes and good air permeability. After watering the gerbera, it is not easy for water to accumulate in the roots.

2. Sufficient light

Gerbera likes a sunny environment. For indoor maintenance in winter, it should be placed on the south balcony to allow it to receive sufficient sunlight. It is best to receive full sunshine in spring, autumn and winter, and appropriate shade in summer. When there is insufficient light, gerberas will grow thin and flower less.

3. Suitable temperature

Gerbera is a semi-cold-resistant flower and is relatively sensitive to temperature. It is neither tolerant to high temperatures nor severe cold. The suitable growth temperature is directly between 20-25 degrees. Can withstand low temperatures of 0 degrees for short periods of time. Generally, it is recommended to keep the temperature above 10 degrees in winter so that the gerbera can continue to grow and bloom. If the temperature in winter is lower than 5 degrees and the temperature in summer is higher than 35 degrees, the growth of gerbera will stagnate.

4. Watering and fertilizing

Gerbera has many leaves, and the leaves are relatively large, and the water evaporates greatly. During the growth period of gerbera, attention should be paid to maintaining sufficient fertilizer and water. . Watering should be done thoroughly to avoid root rot caused by overwatering. Before watering each time, you can lift the flower pot to feel its weight. If it feels light, you can water it. If it is still heavy, you need to wait a little longer.

It is recommended to apply fertilizer and water once every 10 days during the growth period. Before the flower buds disappear, you can use growth water-soluble fertilizer such as Huaduoduo No. 1. After the flower buds appear, add phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote the growth of the flower buds.

What needs to be noted here is that you should stop topdressing in hot summer. If the temperature in winter is lower than 10 degrees, you should also stop topdressing water-soluble fertilizer. You can spread a little slow-release fertilizer because the temperature is relatively low. When gerberas grow very slowly, slow-release fertilizer or fermented organic fertilizer will suffice.

5. Pruning and propagation

During the growth process of gerbera, some metabolic yellow leaves may appear, which should be pruned and removed in time. The flowering period of a single Gerbera flower lasts about 15 days. When the flowers bloom and fail, the remaining flowers should be pruned in time, otherwise they may form seeds and consume nutrients.

Gerbera can be propagated by seeds or by division. In our family propagation, we generally use the method of division. Every time the gerbera flowers bloom, a new seedling will grow from the root, so after a period of cultivation, it will divide into many seedlings, which can be divided and transplanted. However, Lan Yao personally recommends that when there are not too many gerbera seedlings, do not divide the plants. When there are multiple seedlings in a pot, the flowers will bloom more and it will be easier to burst.
