Daisy plants need rich, fast-draining soil to thrive. They don’t like wet feet, so they need soil that holds moisture but also dries out thoroughly between waterings. Sherwood recommends mixing in some organic material, such as compost, to improve the soil’s structure. Daisy plants need regular fertilization, but you’ll have to dilute the fertilizer according to the label instructions if you’re growing them in a pot. They also benefit from a light layer of mulch, which helps keep the root zone cool and suppresses weeds.
Potted daisies can be subject to more rapid nutrient depletion than in-ground varieties. You’ll need to check the soil daily and add a diluted fertilizer at least once a month, especially during the summer. You can also use a balanced plant food to help encourage flowering.
The size of the container is important, too. Choose a plastic or glazed ceramic pot that is at least 12 inches in diameter, and avoid terra-cotta, which can leach too quickly. Make sure the pot has adequate drainage, and change the soil if it becomes dry to the touch in the top 6 to 8 inches of depth.
In warmer climates, you can leave your gerbera daisies in the ground during winter, provided that you protect them from frost with a tarp or blanket. However, if you live in a colder region, it’s best to take your plants indoors in the fall and pot them up for the winter.
