My gerbera flowers are dying on me what shall i do?

Well these plants need warmth and sunlight and a 'moderate amount ' of water....like don't soak them.





Not knowing how you keep them it is not possible to say what is wrong, but I would tell you to not over water

Place your index finger one inch into the soil. If, when you remove it, there are small red flecks you likely have a plant parasite common to gerberas.
Reply:when ever i get plants that start dying in my garden, i let nature take control and when the plant dies i find a better plant to take its place. its no good trying to win a losing battle. try using plants that are native to your surroundings. they will be able to cope with your environment much better.

Reply:Without knowing where you have them planted it's nearly impossible to tell you what's going on. However it could be that you are watering them too much. I have my Gerber Daisy in partial shade %26amp; it's doing fine %26amp; it comes back every year.
Reply:silly cow put them in a flower pot
Reply:they need heat and sunlight and they also need some water not too much tho just make the soil moist so there is enough water
Reply:If your question refers to Gerbera flowers and the flowers are drooping from the stem, this is because the flower is big and the stem has weakened to be able to carry the flower upright. Florists use wire and tape to avoid the flower from drooping and to lengthen it's life, flower food is added to the water. In the home environment, make sure that your arrangement is out of direct sunlight and out of drafts. To lengthen the life of your flowers, ensure enough water and when the water starts to be cloudy, dump all the water, clean your vase thoroughly, then fill it with water, add floral food. Cut the stems at least half an inch, then return into the vase. If your question refers to the flowers of your gerbera plant, it could be that the flowers are exposed to the sun for too long. If you're in an area that gets to 100+ deg. heat, then there's your problem.
