How to fertilize Transvaal Daisy
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Transvaal Daisy after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Need help! I’ve noticed these white spots and I’m not sure what they are, but they are spreading. Thanks in advance! #Gerbera

Busy day today! I also potted up my newest Swedish ivy cuttings! After 3 days of gloomy weather, one day of rain ☔️, I was happy to see a little sunshine today 🌞! I also noticed my Gerbera had new flowers! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SwedishIvy #CreepingCharlie #Gerbera

Poor baby needs some help 😭 This gerbera. She was so lovely last August. Now she’s clinging onto life 😭 We’ve recently moved house and so I’m still figuring out the best placement for my plants light wise, so I’m not sure if this is a result of this. As you can see from the pics, she ain’t doing too well. I stick to a regular water schedule through Greg (though in the old house I ended up watering her more often), though occasionally my mum will water her just because, so overwatering may be a bit of an issue. I’ve not seen these colourings on any of my plants before, any ideas? #Gerbera #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #PlantCorner
