Why gerbera flowers deserve a spot in your cart

Gerbera flowers communicate joy without saying a word. Each bloom measures 8–12 cm across, so even a compact bunch of 10 stems fills a vase with bold, layered petals. The stems grow 40–50 cm tall, giving florists plenty of length for structured arrangements.

These blooms carry zero toxicity for cats and dogs — a detail that matters when your recipient has pets at home. Unlike lilies, gerberas pose no risk to curious animals. That safety factor makes gerberas one of the smartest "just because" gifts in the UAE.

Gerbera colour guide — pick the right message

Gerbera flowers come in almost every warm hue. Each colour carries a distinct meaning, and knowing the difference helps you match the bouquet to the occasion.

White and green gerberas pair beautifully during Ramadan and Eid, when UAE households favour soft, respectful tones. For National Day on 2 December, red and white bunches echo the flag's palette.

How to choose the right gerbera bouquet in the UAE

Match the arrangement style to the recipient

A hand-tied bunch of 15–20 gerbera stems works well for casual birthdays. Vase arrangements suit office desks and hotel lobbies, where the recipient may not have a vase handy. Box arrangements — often paired with Ferrero Rocher or local chocolates — deliver a premium feel for corporate gifting.

Consider stem count

Our gerbera bouquets start at 10 stems and go up to 100 stems for grand gestures. A 10-stem bunch costs from AED 120, while a premium 50-stem arrangement reaches AED 450. The florist selects the freshest blooms that morning.

Mix or keep it mono?

Single-colour gerbera bundles create a striking visual punch. Mixed-colour arrangements feel more playful. You can also combine gerberas with roses or chrysanthemums for a richer texture — the gerbera's broad face contrasts well with tighter rose buds.

Gerbera delivery across all 7 Emirates

Our local florists assemble every gerbera bouquet fresh on the day of delivery. Same-day delivery applies to orders placed before 2:00 PM local time (Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4). We deliver to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain.

Common mistakes when buying gerbera flowers

• Ordering white gerberas for a cheerful birthday (white often reads as formal or sympathy-related in certain Gulf cultures)
• Choosing a bouquet with no water source for a recipient who works in an office without a vase
• Ignoring stem count — a 10-stem bunch looks modest in a large room; 25 stems fill the space better
• Placing an order after 2:00 PM and expecting same-day arrival

How to care for gerbera flowers at home

Gerbera flowers last 7–14 days with proper care. The UAE's indoor air conditioning helps, since gerberas prefer temperatures between 18 °C and 22 °C. Follow these steps to maximise vase life:

• Trim 2 cm off each stem at a 45-degree angle before placing gerberas in a clean vase
• Fill the vase with only 5–8 cm of water — gerbera stems absorb moisture quickly and rot in deep water
• Add the flower food sachet that comes with your delivery to slow bacterial growth
• Change the water every 2 days and re-trim the stems each time
• Keep the vase away from direct sunlight and fruit bowls — ethylene gas from fruit shortens bloom life

Drooping is the most common gerbera problem. A simple fix: wrap the stems in newspaper for 2 hours while they stand in fresh water. The support straightens the stems without damage.

What makes gerbera flowers stand out among other blooms

Gerbera flowers belong to the Asteraceae family — the same family as sunflowers and daisies. Botanist Traugott Gerber gave gerberas their name in the 18th century. South Africa and tropical Asia are the original habitats, but today the Netherlands, Colombia, and Kenya grow most commercial gerberas.

One fact surprises many buyers: a NASA Clean Air Study from 1989 found that gerbera daisies remove benzene and formaldehyde from indoor air. In the UAE, where most spaces rely on sealed air conditioning, a few gerbera stems can genuinely improve the air you breathe.

Compared to roses, gerberas require less maintenance and tolerate the UAE's AC environment better. Roses need deeper water and cooler storage. Gerberas thrive with minimal water and moderate temperatures — a practical advantage for busy households.

Your next step

Gerbera flowers combine affordability, bold colour, and real staying power. For the UAE's climate and lifestyle — think air-conditioned villas, high-rise apartments, and bustling offices — gerberas simply work. Scroll through the collection above, pick a colour that matches your occasion, and let the local florist handle the rest. A 10-stem bunch at AED 120 is a low-risk way to test what gerberas can do for your space.
