Caring for your Gerberas:
Each flower is individually sleeved to protect them in transport, the sleeves can be gently removed on arrival
On arrival, cut stems at a sharp angle and put them in a clean vase of clean lukewarm water - 5cm is more than enough water
You can add ΒΌ teaspoon of bleach to the water to keep the bacteria away, thus increasing the vase life of the flower
Place the vase of gerberas out of the sun in a draught-free location, away from a fruit bowl
If the weather is warm during transport, the flowers may get a bit soft and the heads may be a bit droopy/floppy as they are transported out of water but they will come straight up and strong again after they have been cut and put in tepid water
To get long enjoyment from your gerberas, recut the stems and refresh the water every few days
