Mini Gerberas

This item is sold by stem. Color: Assorted *** Mini gerberas are the small-headed germini form — the same clean daisy face as a standard gerbera on a lighter stem, so they sit inside an arrangement instead of dominating it. Available in five colours. Sold by the box of 140 stems in a single colour, cut to order on our Cotopaxi farm and shipped direct. Gerberas drink through the stem end and are prone to bending, so use clean, shallow water and support the heads in transit.

What does it cost per stem? $1.04 per stem at the box price of $145.00. How do mini gerberas differ from standard gerberas? Smaller heads on lighter stems, so they work as a supporting bloom rather than a focal one, and you get more stems per box. Do gerberas need ethylene protection? No. Gerberas are one of the few cut flowers unaffected by ethylene, so they can be held alongside ripening produce without loss — unlike carnations, delphinium or alstroemeria. Why do gerbera stems bend? More water is lost through the stem than the petals, so a dehydrated scape collapses. Cut 10 cm off the woody base on arrival and hydrate with the heads supported, and the stems stay straight.
