My gerbera daisies have all died. What did I do wrong?

I bought the plant with 3 full, colorful daisies. I somehow killed all 3 of the flowers. I just plucked the last one today. Will they come back or do I have to wait until next Spring? If there is a possibility of them coming back then what should I do? Thanks a bunch!

My gerbera daisies have all died. What did I do wrong?
Not to worry! Those should bloom again, all summer for you, but you might not have a bloom every day. As long as the leaves have not turned yellow or brown, or withered, you still have a healthy plant.





Things gerberas do not like are excessive cold, excessive heat or wet feet. They like to be watered but not left in a puddle for too long. Aside from that they are not temperamental. When the blooms start to fade, deadheading the flowers will encourage more blooming. Why, that is exactly what you did!





Good luck to you.

What color gerbera daisies should I use?

I'm getting married in July and wanted to use gerbera daisies. My bridesmaids are going to be wearing a clover green color. What color gerbera daisies would look good with this color dress? Also, what are some good accent flowers for gerberas?

What color gerbera daisies should I use?
*I love gerbera daisies!!


*I think white or yellow would look good with the green


*Maybe the bouquets could be all one color or mixed with two colors (same flower)


*see if the florist could dye your flowers to match the green that the bridesmaids are wearing. If so, maybe you could have a green and white bouquet


*as for the accent flowers, maybe chrysanthemums(sp??), alstromerias, peonies, or even roses may look nice with the daisies


*congrats and good luck!

Reply:I'd go with bright - pink, yellow, and orange.
Reply:white daisies with the green dress
Reply:How about a combo of yellow, pink, and white Gerber daisies, with lilac or blue tinted hydrangeas. PLEASE no babies breath.
Reply:My favorite flower! I think yellow would be beautiful, or a combo of yellow, orange and white. So summery! Not sure about accent flowers, but probably something in white that is not too wimpy. Your florist should be able to give a recommendation.
Reply:Fuchsia looks incredible against green. This is a good pic of the color but there are orange ones mixed in too.

Are Gerbera Daisies hardy flowers?

I live in Las Vegas. I don't really have a green thumb. I would, however, like to have some kind of potted flower on my Westward facing bedroom windowsill (inside) to brighten up my bedroom. These are my favorite flowers and I'd like to grow them in my room if it's possible.

Are Gerbera Daisies hardy flowers?
They should do just fine in your bedroom. They don't need to be hardy. Since Las Vegas is dry, you may need to spray them about once a day with a light mist of water.





When you buy them, ask the clerk for some appropriate water soluble fertilizer and follow the directions. You can usually just feed it at half strength unless it's actively flowering in which case you can give it the regular amount. But don't give it too much fertilizer or you'll kill it. If you don't have a green thumb, it may be best to go with an organic fertilizer. They're not as concentrated and are less prone to mistakes. But just go half strength about every two weeks and you'll be fine. Just read the label for how often to fertilize.





When they don't have enough water, Gerbera flowers will lean over. Just give it a little water and it will perk right up. When the flower starts to change colour and either, just clip it at the base with a clean pair of scissors and a new flower should come up to take its place in no time.





Don't be scared of trying out a potted plant. All they really need is some water, a little food, sunshine and some attention from you. I'm sure your plant will do great.
Reply:My gerberas are perennial Zone 8. They prefer full sun or a south facing window and being planted in the ground as opposed to potting them. Try coleus. Super easy and colorful - not frost tollerant, but you can overwinter them inside. Root in water for perpetual plants.





Try impatiens, begonias, ferns, for inside interest in your west window. Have fun.

How do I remove mildew from the leaves of my Gerbera daisy plant and why did I get mildew in the first place?

Mildew should just rinse off with water on a plant. But....I would guess that it must be in too humid of an area if mildew is forming in the first place. Could it be a fungus?

How do I remove mildew from the leaves of my Gerbera daisy plant and why did I get mildew in the first place?
1. Use a general purpose fungicide for spraying on the leaves. Neem oil is good for this purpose.





2. Do not water the plants overhead. Only water in the soil, not on the leaves. Powdery mildew (the white mildew most likely on your daisy) happens when you water improperly. Most plants like to have water only in their soil, not on their leaves.
Reply:too much water

They are an annual, which means they flower then die in one season.They don't like cold/frost. So a nice sunny summer is what you need.

How do you save the seeds from a gerbera daisy plant?

Gerbera daisies will "go to seed" on their own. Both the plants and the cut flowers will do this. Simply wait until this occurs, and then gather/collect the seeds. It does take a while for this to happen because Geberas are long-lived flowers. When they do "go to seed" you should collect the seeds quickly. They have fluffy little "parachutes" (smaller than a dandelion), so they will fly around all over the place with any sort of breeze or draft.
