Distinctive features

Gerberas are very persistent and long-living flowers, which is their main advantage. They can stay fresh for a very long time and not fade, even if they are not put in water for a long period. Extend the life of gerberas by removing the lower leaves and shortening the stem. Water in the vase is desirable to change every three days.

Florists sometimes use wire to strengthen the stem of a flower. This is due to a very heavy top.
This color is unstable to cold temperatures. That's why they are not grown outdoors. But in the home gerbera can live many years.

Caring for gerberas. Storage in a vase

The external universal kind of gerberas allows you to combine them with any vases of the most possible shapes. Whichever vase you choose, the gerbera will look great in any case. Gerberas are especially appreciated for their long life. With proper care, they are able to stand in the vase for more than half a month.
In order not to be mistaken when buying, be sure to pay attention to the condition of the stem and petals. They must be fresh, strong and resilient.
