Gerbera Daisies aren't perennials. So planting it outside won't help. Unfortunately they only last so long and then their done. Sorry.

Depending on where you live, Gerberas really do better planted in the gound. They hate wet feet and because they have fuzzy stems and leaves rot very easily if over watered or left sitting in water. Check the centre and if there is new growth you might have a chance, cut back on the water. But if the centre is mouldy, bye bye.

one of mine has done that too!!!!!! waaaa!
i may have let it dry too much /
or it may have got too much water, and got waterlogged
if you carefully, take it out of its pot , shake all the soil off its roots and replant in fresh damp compost it may recover ,
I have tried this with my poor ,sickly looking one
and it looks as if it might be getting better... that was Wednesday,
so i am hoping
All the best of luck! .
I hope so, they are lovely plants
. i have 5 outside ,on a table on the patio and they all seem fine!

It probably needed to be planted outside so it's roots could grow.

1. plant it.
2. water it the way it needs to be and give it plant food to bring it back
