Gerberas

Our family is in the Gerbera growing business. I won't explain it all here, as you can go to another site and read all about our experiences. It is a flower that has gained increasing popularity and is one of the most popular cut flowers in the world today with growers in all continents.
They are fairly easy to grow plants - given the right conditions, and whilst I have some at home in pots scattered around a rather unkempt garden, they grow best in hot houses - where there is better control over the conditions. Many are grown hydroponically, as ours are, and this way it is easy to control the nutrients and water flow to the plants. To learn more click here. The photo on the left is of one of my favourite flowers. We no longer grown that variety in the hot house but I do have two wonderful plants at home. I use this photo on my business card.
