Gerbera

[Barmaid]

I have just bought myself a box of beautiful yellow gerbera. But I know they don't last long as a cut flower. Can anyone suggest anything to prolong their display in the vase, please?

Soluble aspirin. One tab to 1 pint of water.

Gerbera - Cut stems with a sharp knife and place in a vase with water up to halfway full � Gerbera can flop so some supporting foliage is often a good idea.

This is from a florist's website.
