GERBERA FLOWER CARE 101

Basic Care Steps For Cut Gerberas
- After unwrapping, hold the cut end of the stem under water, and cut off the bottom ½ inch at a 45-degree angle with a sharp pair of clippers.
- Gerberas are thirsty flowers. It’s important to check in with them, and to replace the water in the vase every two days, making sure that the stem remains submerged.

Additional Pro-Tips For Gerbera Care
- Gerberas are particularly susceptible to bacteria. Once the stems are blocked, they’ll droop. That’s why, it’s all the more important to clean your vase thoroughly, and you can do that by using a bit of bleach and hot water!
- Browning petals? Fret not, you can pluck them out without affecting the rest of the bloom.
- If the bottom of the stems look spongy or the flowers start wilting, recut the stems to improve the water intake.
GERBERA: A HISTORY
The Gerbera, or Gerbera Daisy, was first discovered in South Africa by renowned botanist Traugott Gerber back in 1737. Despite its origins, it can now be found across the globe, with the Netherlands producing at least 900 million of the flowers in all sorts of colours, shapes and sizes each year alone— not bad for a country renowned for Tulips!
