It needs full light in winter, but in summer, proper shading and ventilation should be paid attention to to reduce the temperature and prevent dormancy caused by high temperature.

Gerbera hydroponics is very simple, no special treatment is required, as long as it is cleaned and inserted into a vase. The leaves of the plant cannot be soaked in water and are easily rotten.

In summer, it needs to be shaded, and it should not be directly irradiated by strong light.
