Pot up plugs into 9cm pots and grow them on in frost free conditions. When they are fully rooted into their pots, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before transplanting into their final positions. Gerbera Mix plants are hardy to -5°C. In frost prone areas they are best grown in patio containers that can be moved to a bright, frost free position over winter. When growing Gerbera in very mild areas, plant them in sheltered, sunny borders in fertile well drained soil. Add compost or well rotted manure to amend heavy clay or dry sandy soils.
Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season. Cut back faded Gerbera flowers from the base of the stem. In autumn, move container-grown Gerbera plants to a bright, frost free position for the winter. Reduce watering, keeping the compost just moist during winter months.Gerberas may require some winter protection if grown in borders outdoors.
