This year only one flower bloomed. Leaves are large green but now seem to have a soft white look On them, is it mold? If so how do I correct it.

December 5, 2018A.I'm not completely sure, but I think you are referring to the gerbera... This does seem to be a powdery mildew issue. You can use neem oil to kill off the disease. This is the most likely cause for your lack of flowering.

March 15, 2019A.Tricks that I have used: use a floral wire inserted into the flower head and wrap remainder of wire around the stem. You can use a pin to prop up the floppy head or cut off the flower heads and float in a bowl.

June 25, 2019Q.Crinkly leaves on Gerbera Daisies
I over-wintered a beautiful yellow Gerbera Daisy, then purchased a new red one this year. I planted them together in a 12 inch pot. Both are growing well, the red one is blooming, however the yellow one has excellent growth but very crinkly dark green leaves. No yellow blossoms yet. What causes the crinkly leaves and how can I cure it? Thanks for your response.

June 25, 2019A.This is, usually, caused by a pH issue. It is best to have a soil tester to be able to test the pH in order to know how much acid or alkaline product to add. You will want to go for a target pH of 5.5 to 6.5 for the best results.
