Propagation of Gerbera ambigua can be done by using either seed or divisions. Seed should be collected at dispersal time and sown within three months. If they can not be sown immediately, they should be kept under normal storage conditions. Viable fruits can be distinguished as they are plump and firm to pressure. Use a well drained medium and keep moist. Germination occurs within two weeks and seedlings can be 'pricked out' as soon as they are large enough.

Large clumps of mature plants can be lifted, preferably in late winter, and gently divided into smaller pieces.

Plant into well-drained and composted soil in full sun or very light shade. Water as little as possible in winter.

All gerberas are prone to fungal discoloration of the leaves from midsummer onwards. This can be treated by spraying with a commercial fungicide.

Gerbera ambigua makes a fine edging plant with its low-growing habit, attractive leaves and pretty white or yellow flowerheads. The dark-centred forms are especially attractive. As it contrasts well with indigenous tufted grasses, it is a good choice for a 'natural' grassland planting. It is also a useful rock garden subject.
