405.00

Caring for geraniums is relatively straightforward, making them a favorite for many gardeners.

Light

Sunlight : Geraniums thrive in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If grown indoors, place them near a south-facing window where they can get plenty of light.

Shade : While they can tolerate partial shade, too much shade can lead to fewer blooms and leggy growth.

Watering

Frequency : Water geraniums when the top inch of soil feels dry. They prefer a moderate amount of moisture but don’t like to be waterlogged.

Method : Water deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root growth. Avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf diseases.

Soil 

Type : Use well-draining soil, like a good-quality potting mix with perlite or sand to improve drainage.

pH : They prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.0).

Fertilization

Frequency : Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring through early fall) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (like 10-10-10).

Amount : Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to lush foliage but fewer blooms.

Pruning and Deadheading

Pruning : Regularly pinch back the stems to encourage bushy growth. Trim leggy or overcrowded growth as needed.

Deadheading : Remove spent blooms to promote more flowering and prevent the plant from wasting energy on seed production.

Temperature and Humidity

Ideal Temperature : Geraniums prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night. They are not frost-tolerant, so bring them indoors or provide protection if temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C).

Humidity : They do well in average humidity and prefer good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

Pests and Diseases

Common Pests : Watch out for aphids, spider mites, whiteflies, and caterpillars. Regularly inspect the plants and treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Diseases : Avoid overwatering and ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues like powdery mildew or root rot.

Overwintering

Indoors : If you live in a colder climate, bring geraniums indoors before the first frost. Place them in a bright, cool location and reduce watering.

Cuttings : Alternatively, take cuttings to propagate new plants for the next season.
