Gerbera Flower

Preparation

• Trimming Stems: Trim 1-2 inches from the stems at a 45-degree angle using clean scissors or shears to improve water absorption.
• Remove Foliage: Remove any leaves that may be submerged in the water to minimize bacterial growth.

Watering

• Fresh Water: Use a clean vase filled with cool, fresh water. Change the water every 2-3 days or whenever it becomes cloudy.
• Flower Food: Add floral preservative or flower food to the water to nourish the gerberas and help them last longer.

Placement

• Ideal Location: Place the vase in a cool area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts for optimal longevity.
• Ethylene Sensitivity: Keep gerberas away from ripening fruits, as they emit ethylene gas that can cause premature wilting.

Longevity Tip

• Maximizing Vase Life: Regularly re-trim the stems and remove any spent blooms to maintain a fresh and vibrant arrangement.
