Gerberas come in many varieties, sizes and colours. Some are suitable for garden beds or outdoor planters, while other varieties are grown commercially for cut flowers. Indoor potted gerberas are grown to bring a bit of colour and happiness into peoples homes and workplaces.

They make an ideal gift and will look great on your desk or windowsill. Here are a few tips to help keep potted gerberas looking good.

Place in a bright position indoors if possible. Only water when the potting mix is dry as gerberas hate to be kept too wet. Make sure you pour out any excess water after a few minutes.

When the flowers are finished replace with a fresh new gerbera – there are dozens of colours to choose from.
