In warm, dry coastal Southern California, container gerberas dry out fast. Water whenever the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has drainage holes; never let sit in standing water.
Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during active growth. A bloom-boost formula (higher phosphorus) encourages more flowers.
Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal. Protect from extreme heat (>90°F) and cold snaps (<40°F).
Gerberas are perennial in Southern California. With consistent moisture and feeding, they’ll bloom repeatedly.
