Press seeds lightly into the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix; do not cover as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy. Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have developed true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in bright light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the danger of frost has passed, harden off seedlings and transplant them outdoors in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overhead watering to prevent crown rot. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In cooler zones, treat as an annual or overwinter containers indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Red Spider Gerbera Daisy seeds (Gerbera jamesonii).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776187498806,"sku":"FOLIA-362","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7336726981_d61p.jpg?v=1792468264","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/50-red-spider-gerbera-daisy-seeds-gerbera-jamesonii","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
