CROP CULTIVATION TIPS

Gerberas

Gerberas are one of the most widely grown cut flowers in the world, with strong demand for vibrant color, uniformity, and long vase life. As greenhouse production continues to advance, growers are investing in controlled environments to meet quality expectations and maintain consistent supply throughout the year.

But producing high-quality gerberas requires precise climate management. These crops are sensitive to fluctuations in light, temperature, and humidity, and perform best when conditions remain stable. Too much variation can impact stem strength, flower development, and overall productivity.

At Svensson, we work with gerbera growers around the world to create balanced greenhouse climates. From managing light intensity to controlling humidity and improving energy efficiency, our solutions help you produce consistent, high-quality flowers in any growing environment.

  • Humidity:
    Maintaining relative humidity between 50% and 70% supports healthy transpiration and helps prevent disease pressure in gerberas.
  • Temperature:
    Stable temperatures are key for flower development; too low can delay production, while excessive heat can reduce quality and yield.
  • Light:
    Gerberas require high, consistent light levels to support strong growth and vibrant blooms, but excessive intensity can stress the crop.

EveryD Flowers in the Netherlands

Gerbera nursery EveryD Flowers recently expanded from 12 to nearly 16 hectares. An existing rose greenhouse on Oostlaan in De Lier was completely converted into a gerbera greenhouse. Two Svensson climate screens were installed in the new greenhouse: an Obscura 10070 FR WB+BW blackout screen and the transparent energy screen Luxous Light FR. The installation was carried out by El Flaco Scherminstallaties, with whom EveryD Flowers has been collaborating for some time.
