The large daisy-like flower is a Gerbera daisy. Gerbera daisy flowers exhibit large (4″) blooms, often with yellow/orange or other contrasting colored central disks surrounded by colorful rays. The rays are most commonly yellow, red, or orange. However, growers have also produced varieties in white, pink, and violet. Gerbera daisy flowers reach a little over one foot in height, with a width slightly less than that. Popular in cut flower arrangements. Provide indoor, potted Gerbera daisies with bright, all-day sunlight in spring, summer and fall. Typically supply the indoor daisies with at least three to five hours of direct, morning sunlight, and provide them with afternoon shade. They prefer morning sunlight when planted outside too. They have medium water requirements. Water the daisies when the top 1/2 inch of their soil begins to dry. Indoor plants typically require watering every three to five days. Empty the water that collects in their pot’s drip tray after each watering session. Reduce the amount you water the plants during winter, but don’t allow their soil to dry completely.
