What won't my gerbera daisies bloom?
Gerbera daisies are pretty picky. First off, are they young? If they have never bloomed, it may take them 6 mos. to mature enough to produce blooms. Secondly, did you plant them from store bought seed? If not, and you used seeds from some spent flower heads from seasons past, it will not bloom. This seed has come from a "hybrid" type. The seed from these types will not bloom true to form. Only the "jamesonii" variety will do this. Thirdly, Gerbera's need alot of sunlight, preferably all day long. They may stop blooming or slow down a bit, if the temp. is over 75 degrees. They need to be fertilized every couple of weeks with a water soluble fertilizer like miracle gro bloom booster or equivalent. Also, you need to let the soil dry out somewhat in between waterings. Remember, they are a flowering plant that is native to Africa, and thrive in a drier soil. They will bloom the longest when they get strong light, are fed regularly and are kept evenly moist and warm.. Hope this answers some of your questions... Billy Ray
Why does my gerbera daisy have green leaves but no blooms?
This sounds like a fertilizer issue if there are no other diseases and environmental needs are met. Try to feed the plant a fertilizer high in phosphorus, to spurt flower growth. On a fertilizer bag that would be the second number, like a 5-30-5 mix or anything sold as a "bloom booster" My gerberas have already bloomed this summer and are now just mounds of green leaves.
How do i close my gerber pocket knife?
It depends on which knife you have. Many of Gerber's knives (especially if they are assisted opening) have safety locks on them. If this is the case, it is often a sliding button on the side of the knife. There are also alot of models that have liner locks. These usually press to the side to release the blade to close. See if you can find your knife on www.gerber-tools.com. They are an authorized dealer for Gerber. They have videos of many of their products that show how they open and close, which is kind of nice. It gives you a better idea of the size and feel of the knife as well.
