Care essentials
Light
Gerbera daisies perform best with morning sun and afternoon shade in NE Florida; intense afternoon sun causes bleaching and heat stress. Part sun (4–6 hours, preferably morning) extends bloom and plant longevity.
Water
Water moderately and consistently; keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Allow the crown to remain dry to prevent crown rot—water at the base, not overhead, and ensure excellent drainage.
Soil & Fertilizer
Amend NE Florida's sandy soil with organic matter (compost or peat) before planting to improve moisture retention. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced slow-release fertilizer; avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen.
