Watering: Keep the soil lightly and evenly moist — Gerbera Sweet Love Red likes steady moisture and can wilt or crisp if it dries out fully. Don't let it sit in water, and ease off in winter. Humidity: Average household humidity is fine; it appreciates a little extra but doesn't need it. Temperature: Typical room temperatures (about 65–80°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and hot, dry vents. Soil: A good, well-draining potting mix in a pot with a drainage hole. Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter. Good to know: It wants lots of bright light and even moisture; water at the soil (not the crown) to avoid rot, and remove spent blooms.
