Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation: For best results, start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date.
Soil Preparation: Use a well-draining seed-starting mix. Gerbera daisies prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5.
Sowing Depth: Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in. Do not cover them completely as they need light to germinate.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use a spray bottle to mist the soil gently.
Growing Conditions:
Light: Provide plenty of bright, indirect light. A sunny windowsill or under grow lights works well for indoor starting.
Temperature: Maintain a warm environment between 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination and growth.
Humidity: Moderate humidity is ideal. Avoid excessive humidity to prevent fungal diseases.
Transplanting:
Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when the soil has warmed, and nighttime temperatures remain above 50°F (10°C).
Spacing: Space the plants 12-18 inches apart in well-prepared garden beds or containers.
Acclimation: Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions by placing them outside for a few hours each day over a week (hardening off).
Care Tips:
Watering: Water deeply and regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and prolific blooming.
Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and prevent seed formation.
Pest Management: Monitor for common pests such as aphids and spider mites. Use organic insecticidal soap or neem oil to control infestations.
