Everything You Need to Know About Gerberas: From Color Meaning to Proper Care
Gerberas and Germinis: Joy in Every Petal In the world of floristry, the gerbera is a symbol of sincerity and pure joy. Their perfect, sun-like shape and incredible range of colors make them a universal flower for mixed bouquets. Whether you want to express gratitude, celebrate a birthday, or simply brighten someone's day, you can never go wrong with a gerbera.
Gerbera vs. Germini: What's the Difference?
Customers often ask us what the difference is between a gerbera and a germini. The answer is simpler than it seems — it's mainly about size and sturdiness; botanically, they're sisters.
-
Gerbera: Has a large, dominant flower (often 10 cm or more) and a sturdier stem. It looks very grand in a bouquet and is ideal as a standalone flower or a dominant element in large arrangements.
-
Germini: A smaller version of the gerbera. It has smaller flowers, but is often even hardier. Thanks to its size, it works beautifully in lush mixed bouquets, where it forms pops of color.

Advice From Our Florists: How to Care for Gerberas
For your gerberas to last as long as possible in a vase, they need a specific approach. Florist Bára advises:
"Gerberas have a hollow stem, which is prone to rotting. The most important thing is to put only a small amount of water in the vase (about 3 to 5 cm). Change the water every day, and always trim a little off the stem with a clean, straight cut."
