Summer and winter of gerbera

How gerbera survives the summer

It is relatively easy for gerbera to survive the summer, unlike other Asteraceae plants which have difficulty surviving the summer. In summer, the following points should basically be paid attention to when growing gerberas.

Gerbera is not resistant to high temperatures. The temperature in summer will exceed the tolerance range of gerbera. Its growth temperature should not exceed 25℃. When the temperature in summer exceeds this value, timely shade is needed to reduce direct sunlight, or the plants need to be sprayed with water to lower the temperature, and attention should be paid to increasing ventilation.

In summer, try to apply thin fertilizers and reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizers to avoid diseases. Gerbera daisy requires a lot of water in summer and the evaporation rate is fast, so it needs to be watered sufficiently. However, it should be noted that summer is also a rainy season, so drainage should be carried out in time after the rain to avoid waterlogging in the soil and root rot.

The weather in summer is hot and humid, and it is a season when diseases and insect pests are more likely to occur. We must do a good job in disease and insect pest prevention and control to avoid further expansion of the harm.

How to Overwinter Gerbera

In fact, it is very easy for gerbera to survive the winter.

Gerbera is a semi-hardy plant that can withstand a certain degree of low temperature, but it cannot survive for a long time in an overly cold environment. The temperature should be kept warm in winter, above 12℃. If the temperature is below 10℃, gerbera will stop growing. Generally, in South China, gerbera can be planted in the open field, while in North China, measures need to be taken to allow gerbera to survive the winter.

In winter, you need to reduce watering as much as possible for gerberas and keep the soil dry.
