Gerbera Daisy

Gerbera Daisy 🌼✨ is loved for its bright cheerful blooms and tidy green foliage, making it an easy way to add a happy pop of color to a sunny windowsill, patio, or tabletop. It does best in very bright light indoors or gentle outdoor sun, where it can keep blooming and stay compact without getting leggy. This plant is generally manageable, but it likes consistent watering and good light more than tougher foliage plants do. Pro tip: remove spent flowers as they fade ✂️ to encourage more blooming and help the plant stay tidy.
