if I should water the petals of the flowers also, or if I should just water the soil part. It just seems to me like the flower would want its petals wet also, but I don't really know.
I have a Gerber Daisy pot on my front porch, and I was wondering when I water it?
You water the soil, when it is dry, so check it daily.
Reply:Water just at the soil level. The flowers will last longer if they stay dry.
Reply:When watering your gerber daisies take care to not get the leaves and flower petals wet. Constant dampness could encourage mold and mildew and fungus issues. Slugs just love them so get the slug bait available not harmful to pets. Always water daily and never allow to dry out. Pots dry out quickly during the summer so water twice or more daily depending on the temps. An alternative watering technique are the soaker systems which are attached to timers and automatically water the pots. I have had great success with this technique and I can go on vacation with no worries, because I know all my potted plants are being watered automatically and will look great when I return. Any garden center carries the watering system. Good Luck
