    I've planted 4 gerbers daisies in compost in a large pot on my daughters terrace in barcelona last weekend. I put stones in the bottom for drainage. The flowers are wilting even though they have an irrigation system and watered as well. Any ideas what to do to revive them. Thanks

    Hello,
    Did you put plants in shade to re establish after potting ? If not, do so now and if kept moist but not over watered your African daisies should recover.
    Best wishes,
    Gerald.

    Although Gerberas come from Africa I think it is a mistake to think that they need full sun to grow well, especially in Barcelona.
