What to do if you water your gerbera too much?

The harm of overwatering gerbera

African daisy will die if watered too much. Waterlogging in the pot soil will cause the plant to lack oxygen and the roots to rot. Eventually the young leaves will turn light yellow and the flower leaves will gradually turn dark yellow.

How to deal with excessive watering of gerbera

To determine whether the gerbera chrysanthemum is overwatered, you can check whether there is root rot. If the gerbera chrysanthemum is overwatered, the drainage is poor, and the soil is waterlogged, the roots will rot.

When gerbera daisy is watered too much, you should immediately control the watering, then move the flower pot to a ventilated sunny place to allow the water to evaporate quickly, and loosen the soil frequently.

Gerbera daisy in the rain

In the rainy season, African daisy needs to take rain protection measures to prevent rain, and also drain water in time to reduce water accumulation in the soil, otherwise the plant will grow poorly.

Key points for watering gerbera

1. Too much water for gerbera will affect the growth of the plant. Just keep it moist on a daily basis. Too little water will make it difficult for the roots to absorb water.

2. When African daisy is growing vigorously, it is necessary to maintain sufficient water supply. Water it every 3 to 4 days in summer and once every half a month in winter to maintain proper moisture and promote normal development of the root system.
