However, the gerbera variety holds an added meaning of cheerfulness, which is attributed to the numerous colors. They are believed to lessen everyday stressors.
Gerbera Mandala Care Tips
- Look for flowers with firm, straight stems and firm petals. Avoid flowers with soft, limp stems and/or petals, brown stem tips, and brown centers, as well as flowers with more than half pollen shed in the center
- Because gerberas are sensitive to pollution, it is extra important to use a clean vase (preferably made of glass)
- Cut the stem 2-3 cm with a clean, sharp knife or scissors
- Gerberas don't need much water; half a liter of water with flower food gives the best results with a mono bunch or in a bouquet
- Keep flowers away from drafts, heat, and direct sunlight
