Gerberas are amongst the best flowers for cutting but they should be cut a day or two before they go on display since the flowers tend to close up at night after they are cut. The stems should be dipped in boiling water after cutting and then placed in deep water for several hours before arranging if the stems are limp.
They can have weak stems and wiring might be necessary curling up the stem neatly from the flower head to the end of the stem .Their vase life is 7-10 days and they are available all year round
They are ideal for form and mass arrangements and to create the rounds in a modern design
