Indoor Gerbera Daisy Decline: Annual Nature and Mildew

Reality Check

Gerberas are perennials in tropics but annuals in north. Indoors they are "discard after bloom" plants; they rarely survive long-term except in climate-controlled greenhouses.

Symptoms

Leaf wither, regrowth smaller, powdery mildew, wilting = typical decline.

Advice

Enjoy while attractive; don't expect long-term success. Focus on plants adapted to indoor life.
