Two problems hit Gerbera Daisys powdery Mildew (a white film
covering the leaves that can be rubbed off)spray with 1 part milk to 10 parts water cleans it up safely.The other
problem is Leaf miners but they make what can be described as tunnels on you leaves. Try spinosid (Safer method)or a systemic insecticide so they don't come back.The other thing is do your watering in the morning not evening(wet leaves overnight will mildew)
