How to Make Gerberas Bloom for Christmas

Natural flowering period

This kind of flower has a very long flowering period. If they grow normally, they can bloom for nearly half a year. It can bloom from November to April. With its vigorous flowering ability, it is worth planting a pot of it at home. What a pity. This flower comes in many colors. If the colors are carefully matched together, it will definitely add a touch of bright vitality to the place where it is placed. Such a simple yet extraordinary little flower couldn't be more beautiful if planted in a small flower bed at home.

Christmas Flower Tips: Temperature Control

They need relatively high temperatures during the growing season, preferably controlled at 20-25℃, because they originally grew in South Africa, so they need such high temperatures. Even at night, it is best to keep the temperature around 16℃. However, it does not require such a high temperature when it blooms. If it is kept at 15-26℃ for a long time, it can bloom continuously. But when the temperature drops below 15 degrees Celsius in winter, it will go dormant. It can tolerate low temperatures for a short period of time, but it must not be placed below zero for a long time, otherwise it will get frostbite.

Christmas Flower Tips: Light Control

Although this flower loves light, it cannot withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight. If the light is too strong, be sure to pay attention to shade and increase the surrounding airflow, which is also a way to cool down. Because if the temperature is high enough, they will easily go into dormancy and will not be able to bloom. Some friends may worry that shade will affect flowering, but in fact it will not. The length of time the flower is exposed to sunlight will not affect the quality of the flower.
