Faful Florist Gerbera Bouquets: A Burst of Joy and Color

Gerbera Bouquets (also known as African Daisies) are universally recognized as the "flowers of happiness" thanks to their large blooms and incredibly vibrant colors. Unlike the deep romance of roses, Gerberas symbolize innocence, cheerfulness, and optimism. Whether brightening up a dull office or cheering up a friend, a lively Gerbera Bouquet instantly uplifts the mood and space.

[ + ] About Gerbera: History, Features & Meaning

1. Origin:
Native to South Africa, Gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) was introduced to Europe in the 19th century. Named after German botanist Traugott Gerber, it is now one of the top 5 most popular cut flowers globally.

2. Features:
Gerberas are known for their perfect geometric shape and can reach over 10cm in diameter. They feature flat, neatly arranged petals around a distinct central disk. Their stems are hollow, leafless, and offer clean, modern lines.

3. Gerbera Symbolism:
We curate our collection to convey positive vibes:
- Red: Passion and energy.
- Yellow/Orange: Sunshine, happiness, and cheer.
- Pink: Innocence and admiration.
Overall, a Gerbera Bouquet signifies "Cheerfulness" and "You are my sunshine."

Gerberas naturally possess a Pop Art aesthetic. Our florists typically style them in two ways:

  • Colorful Mix:
    The most popular choice for Gerbera Bouquets. Mixing red, orange, yellow, and pink creates a rainbow-like visual impact, perfect for celebrations or encouragement.
  • Simple Elegance (Korean Style):
    Using a single color palette (e.g., all pink or champagne) paired with minimalist matte wrapping and light greenery (like Eucalyptus). This removes the rustic feel, presenting a modern, urban elegance.
[ + ] Pro Care Tips: How to Prevent Drooping

Gerberas are long-lasting but prone to "drooping heads" or stem rot if not cared for correctly. Here are pro tips:

Q: Why do Gerbera stems rot easily?
A: Gerbera stems are hollow and covered in fine hairs, making them susceptible to bacterial growth.
Solution: Use the "Shallow Water Method". Fill the vase with only 3-5cm of water! Deep water accelerates stem rot.

Q: My flowers are drooping. What should I do?
A: This signals dehydration or blockage.
1. Trim 2-3cm off the bottom of the stem.
2. Wrap the stem in paper to hold the flower head upright.
3. Place in deep water for 2-3 hours to rehydrate, then return to shallow water.

Q: Do I need to change water daily?
A: Yes. Gerbera Bouquets require very clean water. Change water daily and add flower food if available.
