The Egyptians felt they represented a closeness to nature and devotion to the sun, whilst the Celts believed they alleviated the sorrows and strains of daily life.

How do you make cut gerberas last longer?

You should follow the following steps for the long life of Gerberas at your home. Step 1: First, place the Gerberas in lukewarm water to avoid dehydration.

Step 2: Set the vase in a cool room and clean it. Add a few inches of warm water with a floral preservative.

Step 3: Then use a very sharp pair of scissors to cut the ends of the stems' bottom about 1/2 inch at a 45-degree angle so that the stems don’t lay flat on the bottom of the vase and have an enlarged surface for absorption. When trimming the stems, cut them under water to reduce the risk of air entering the stems.

Step 4: To avoid bending over and wilting, use some strong clear drinking straws or floral wire for support.

Step 5: Remove any leaves that may have fallen beneath the water's surface. Bacteria develop and attach themselves to plant material in water, therefore the fewer you have, the better for your flowers. You should trim the stems as needed every several days.

Step 6: Place your gerbera in the vase and put them on display with bright but indirect sunlight. You should keep Gerberas away from high wind, air conditioners, heat sources, and fireplaces.

Step 7: Change the water at least every 2 to 3 days. Add flower food to the water and remove any wilting flowers or foliage.

How do you put gerberas in a vase?

Gerbera should be carefully placed in a vase. Before adding your gerberas, make sure your vase is thoroughly cleaned. They are especially vulnerable to germs clogging the stems, causing them to droop. To prepare your vase, try using bleach and hot water. The water should be replaced after every 2-3 days to prevent the growth of bacteria. Keep them in a cooler place. When gerberas are bound in floral foam, they survive longer in vases. If looked after well, gerberas have a vase life of around 7-10 days.

How do you stop gerberas from drooping in a vase?

You can stop Gerberas from drooping by considering the following points:

∙ Keep cut daisies away from all fruits, which produce damaging ethylene gas.
