Gerbera

Among plants that can withstand indoor and greenhouse conditions, gerbera is becoming increasingly popular. Its bright flowers bring a sunny and spring mood to any bouquet. Breeders have also achieved that today gerbera can be grown on a windowsill. All the nuances of maintaining and caring for this fastidious flower are specially collected in this section.

It is worth noting that gerbera seeds are planted only in greenhouses, since it is much easier to regulate the microclimate in such conditions. A special substrate and a large amount of light are equally important requirements for growing a plant. Gerberas do not tolerate arid climates, as well as temperatures above 30 C and below 8 C.

In greenhouses, gerbera flowers are grown under artificial lighting, thereby regulating the length of daylight hours. High-moor sphagnum peat, which has low acidity, is ideal as a substrate. You also need to take fertilizers very seriously, since an excess of certain elements can cause gerbera burns, which will be noticeable on the leaves.
