As pretty as the gerbera is as a houseplant, if the location is not right, it will quickly stop flowering. Make sure you have a bright place where it is neither too cold nor too warm.
Sunny but without direct midday sun
The right location for the houseplant gerbera is:
- Bright and sunny
- Without direct sunlight during midday
- Airy but not drafty
- Sufficient distance to other plants
In the sunny flower window you should provide shade at midday, for example with a curtain.
Since the soil of the gerbera must never dry out completely, sufficient air circulation must be ensured. Otherwise the plant will start to get mouldy. However, drafts must not prevail, because the potted plant does not like that at all.
tips and tricks
In summer, simply place your gerberas on the balcony or terrace. The houseplant feels better outside during the warm season than on the narrow window sill.
