Like all other flowers, gerberas need to be trimmed every day. Remove at least 1 cm, trying to cut the stem obliquely. After trimming, close the cut with your finger so that air does not get there. The trapped air can clog the pores and the flower will not be able to drink water. For the same reason, it is better to cut it in a basin or under running water.

Also, do not forget to change the water for gerberas daily, while it is advisable to pour colder water into the vase. It is better to use soft, boiled water, in addition, you can add a little sugar there. The liquid level itself should be low, because. the stem of the gerbera is covered with tiny hairs, which are quickly covered with mucus. Therefore, when changing the water, do not forget to wash not only the vase, but also the stems of the flowers themselves.

To prevent this from happening, florists often wrap the upper part of the peduncle up to the flower with wire or tape. When buying, pay attention to this fact, it is quite possible that they want to sell substandard flowers to you.

In general, these sunny flowers are very pleasant to give, because they always look advantageous against the background of fairly familiar roses. Gerberas are joyful, cute, cheerful and radiate optimism with their whole appearance.
