Gerbera????

last night, i was feelin kinda bummed, so i did what every normal person does.... i went out and bought something.... a small pot of my favorite flowers, ever-- gerbera daisies!





but now, the next day, i realize i have no clue how to take care of them. i know to give them sunlight, that's a duh. but i'm always unsure of how much i need to water them.... and how often. they're 4" right now, there are 3 flowers and an additional 4 blooms that aren't even half way open. how much water, and how often?

Gerbera????
Gerbera Daisies should be considered as a short-term plant which should be replaced after 2-3 years maximum. Their showy flowers are long-lasting, and plants should be kept in a temperature range of 40 to 70°F when in flower. They respond well under bright light, with limited full sunlight exposure. Re-potting can be done in spring when dividing plants in a peat moss-based potting mix. Allow the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings. Susceptible to thrips and mites.

This site gives some info too. I agree - Gerbera daisies are one of my favorites too! I wish they'd last longer.
