Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage by using a well-draining potting mix.

Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Remove any yellowed or damaged leaves as they appear.

Pruning can also be done to shape the plant or control its size, though it generally doesn't require heavy pruning.

Gerbera viridifolia is typically propagated by seed or division. Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix in spring.

Divisions can be made in spring when new growth appears, carefully separating rhizomes with at least one bud and root.

Repot your Gerbera viridifolia every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix, and be careful not to bury the crown of the plant too deeply.
