An introduction to the flower language and maintenance methods of Gerbera, and a description of the planting points of green plants and flowers, which will certainly help you. Let's learn about it together!
Gerbera is very beautiful and has high ornamental value. Many flower enthusiasts have it at home. The main maintenance is to control the temperature, spray water frequently, and apply thin fertilizer frequently. Let's talk about the breeding methods and precautions of Gerbera.
I. Breeding Methods
1. Choosing Flower Soil
The flower soil should have good breathability and drainage. When preparing it yourself, you can use 4 parts peat soil + 4 parts volcanic rock + 2 parts fine sand, mix them evenly as the flower soil.
2. Temperature
The suitable temperature range for the plant is between 13-30 degrees Celsius. If it exceeds this range, the plant's growth will be limited, and it may even die.
3. Watering
Watering does not need to be too frequent, generally watering once every 5-7 days is enough to keep the flower soil moist.
4. Fertilizing
You can fertilize once a week with a thin fertilizer solution. Do not fertilize when it's high temperature in summer and low temperature in winter.
5. Light
Gerbera requires a lot of light and should be given plenty of sunshine. If there is not enough light, artificial supplementation is needed. In the hot summer sun, appropriate shading is required, while in the other three seasons, full sun can be provided.
II. Precautions
1. When it's too hot in summer, you can spray water to cool down. In winter, it is recommended to move it indoors for maintenance.
2. Gerbera can be propagated by dividing. When a small plant grows next to the mother plant, separate the small seedlings and cultivate them individually to become a new potted landscape.
3. If you are breeding outdoors on the balcony, the pot may grow weeds. Weeds should be pulled out in time to prevent them from competing with the flower plants for nutrients.
4. The planting soil should be regularly sprinkled with quicklime to prevent virus infections that may hinder the growth of the flower plant.
