- Gerbera daisies thrive in well-drained soil improved by the addition of 2 to 3 inches of compost or manure
- While the plants tolerate full sunlight, they perform at their best when exposed to morning sunlight and afternoon shade
- When planting gerberas, ensure the crown of the plant - the point where the main stem joins the roots - is planted about 1 inch above the surface of the soil
