Question:

How do I care for Gerber daisy purchased as a flowering potted plant at the florist?

Answer:

Gerber daisy is frequently sold in florist shops and garden centers during the spring and fall.  Plants prefer cooler temperatures.  Place in bright, indirect or direct light indoors.  Soil should be moist but well-drained.  Plants should not be allowed to dry out, but plants should not be allowed to sit in sleeves of water for extended periods of time. 

Plants are difficult to rebloom and can be discarded after bloom.  If nighttime temperatures outside are consistently above 50 to 55 °F, plants can be grown as annuals outdoors.  Gerber daisy does particularly well in containers and windowboxes in partial to full sun.
