Re: Gerbera
Nursery guy was not telling truth...
Yes you can grow gerbera in this pot...
Well draining soil with lots of compost... morning sunlight direct... spray of fungicide and pesticide once in 20-25 days...

Re: Gerbera

Re: Gerbera
It doesnt always dies but gets into a bad condition during summers... heat burns its leaves, rains rot its roots..
It does its best in a raised bed with good drainage under dappled shade..
