Question
Hi Tom, I'm a horrible gardner and don't even know if gerber daisies are perennials but it is my best guess.  I live in southern california, beach area, and have a pot of gerber daisies.  Yesterday, when I went to exam them, I noticed that their leaves were limp.  It rained yesterday, but downpoured for maybe 15 minutes tops.  the leaves are green, have a couple of brown spots on a few of the leaves.  I potted them about 3 weeks ago...appeared to be doing fine until now.  The top of the soil feels dry but I was afraid to water them until I discovered the "root" of the limp leaves.  thanks so much.  I hope I provided enough information.

Answer
Hi Kimber,
Thanx for your question.  Gerbera daisies are perennial in Southern California and make a great potted plant.  You must water them frequently though in a warm dry climate as the water evaporates quickly.  As long as there is a drainage hole in the bottom of the pot, there shouldn't be a problem getting them too wet.  When the top of the soil dries out, water them.  That should do the trick.  I hope this helps.
Tom
