FAQ about Gerbera – Red

What kind of soil suits gerberas best?
Gerberas grow best in light, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. For pots, mix multi-purpose compost with perlite or grit to improve drainage. Avoid heavy soil, which can rot the roots and crown.
How often should a gerbera be watered?
Water when the compost feels dry two to three centimetres down, usually two to three times a week in the growing season. Always water at the base and keep water out of the centre of the rosette to avoid crown rot.
Does a gerbera need pruning?
Remove faded flowers along with the whole stem right down to the base as soon as they wither, and pick off any yellowing or damaged leaves. This encourages new flowers and keeps the plant healthy.
Which pests and diseases can affect gerberas?
Aphids, red spider mite, whitefly and thrips are common, especially in dry indoor air. Grey mould and root rot can occur with overwatering or high humidity. Check the plant regularly and treat any problems early.
How do I overwinter a gerbera?
Gerberas are not frost-hardy and must spend the winter indoors. Move potted plants to a bright, cool spot at about 10-15°C before the first frost, water sparingly without letting the compost dry out completely, and do not feed until spring.
