Your seeds should be stored in a refrigerator if you are not planting immediately.  Do not keep seeds more than 3 weeks under those conditions.  It is important that you sow gerbera seeds while they are still fresh.

My first choice for planting these seeds would be jiffy pots. Although, a planting soil consisting of 50% pest soil and perlite with a 5.8 - 6.0 ph is good as well.  You can fill a transparent cup 3/4 full with your potting mix and pack well.  Cover 2 - 3 seeds per cup with a thin layer of vermiculite.  Once seeds are planted, cover with a clear plastic to in order to maintain a moist enviroment for germination.  Keep temperature at 70 - 75 degrees F.

Your pots should be exposed to at least 12 hours of sun a day for 7 days. ( or incandescent light.)

At night temperature may drop to 68 - 70 degrees. 

Gerbera Daisies are extremely sensitive to germinating conditions.  Once 12 - 14 days has past, and germination has occured, you can place your gerbera in a sunny spot for continued growth.

Plant may be placed outside during warmer climate but cannot withstand frost or colder temperatures.
