What to inspect

Feed Gerbera jamesonii lightly during active growing and flowering or container growth, rather than maintaining a high-input winter schedule.

What changes it

Keep feeding within active growth and reduce or stop routine applications during cool, low-light overwintering. A plant moved outdoors may have different demand from one resting indoors.

Follow the product label
