Gerbera Mega revolution

Gerbera Mega revolution daisies are a little tricky to grow from seed, but you can definitely do it. Follow these tips for propagating and growing Gerbera daisies from seed in your garden.

• Collect Viable Seeds: This is the most important tip — your Gerbera daisy blossom will soon start to look like a dandelion, covered in seeds, but most of those seeds aren’t viable. The seeds look kind of like little brooms, with a hairy brush at one end and the seed at the other. Sort through the seeds, and choose only the ones with a fat, fertilized seed pod that cultivars have visited.

• Help Pollinate Flowers: To help your plant make more viable seeds, use a small brush (like a makeup brush) to spread pollen from flower to flower. Or when you cut a blossom to use in a flower arrangement, rub its face against another flower to help spread the pollen.

• Plant Seeds Now: Fresh seeds germinate better, so plant the seeds right away.

Gerbera Mega revolution Step #1: Prepare Trays

Fill trays or small pots with a light seed starting medium, or make your own mix using peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite. Dampen the root ball medium with water.

Gerbera Mega revolution Step #2: Plant Seeds

Use a toothpick to poke a hole in the planting medium. Plant the Gerbera daisy seeds with the seed end pointing down and the little brush part just barely at the top of the potting soil.

Gerbera Mega revolution Step #3: Grow Seeds

Keep the seeds moist but not waterlogged and above 70° F, with eight hours or more of bright light per day. The easiest way to do this is to cover the trays with a clear plastic tent and place them indoors in a bright window or under grow lights. When the Gerbera daisy seeds germinate in two to three weeks, remove the plastic cover but keep the seedlings moist.
