Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 6-8 hours before planting to enhance germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors in seed trays or small pots filled with a light, well-draining seed starting mix.
Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover with soil as gerbera seeds require light for germination.
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

Germination:

Germination typically occurs within 2-3 weeks under optimal conditions of warmth (70-75°F) and humidity.
Ensure the seed trays are placed in a bright, warm location with indirect sunlight.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed 2-3 true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots or directly into the garden.
Space plants about 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Care and Maintenance:

Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
Protect plants from extreme heat and frost. In colder climates, consider growing gerberas in pots that can be moved indoors during winter.
Monitor for pests such as aphids and spider mites, and treat as necessary with appropriate organic or chemical controls.

Happy gardening!
