Best Care Tips & Tricks
Gerbera daisies are thirsty. Cut the stem at a 45 degree angle for optimum hydration. Most flowers require reconditioning every 2-3 days, but because gerbera daisies are notoriously susceptible to bacteria and dehydration, it’s important to recut the stems and change the water daily to ensure max vase life.

In the 19th century, daisies were called “day's eye” because at night the petals close over the eye before reopening during the day which sparked the phrase "fresh as a daisy". Fast forward to the present day, and we say, "whoops a daisy", to make light of someone suffering from a mistake or blunder and to encourage a fresh start.
