my husband give me a daisy to take care of it but i ' m not realy sure how. I don't want to plant it in the ground.
How can i take care of a gerbera daisy?
Gerberas do best in full sun, which means at least 6 full hours of direct sunlight a day.
Water regularly in the warmer months, but don't overwater as this can cause root and stem rot. Always allow the soil to dry out before watering again. Reduce watering in the cooler months. Try to keep the flowers and foliage dry to prevent fungal disease.
Fertilize with a liquid fertilizer every two weeks during the flowering period to encourage lots of growth and flowers.
Regularly remove dead and diseased leaves and dead flowers should be cut as close as possible to the base of the plant.
Hope this helps, good luck!
Reply:Gerberas do best in the ground in full sun as Silv said. Tend to get leggy indoors. They're perennial in zone 8. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks.
