Whether as a houseplant or in the garden - in a favorable location, the gerbera produces many flowers. Faded flowers must always be cut off immediately. This stimulates the plant's willingness to bloom.
stimulate flowering
In order to produce many flowers, faded inflorescences must be cut as frequently as possible. This applies to the houseplant in the house or on the balcony as well as the gerbera in the garden.
Cut the stems as low as possible. Only a stub of a maximum of three centimeters should remain on the plant. He pulls himself in and is no longer to be seen shortly thereafter.
By regularly cutting off faded flowers, you encourage the plant to develop new inflorescences. If you leave the stems standing, the gerbera will stop flowering quite quickly.
tips and tricks
If the gerbera has a lot of flowers, you can cut a few of them for the vase or a beautiful bouquet. As a cut flower, the flowers last up to two weeks.
