Planting
- When buying geraniums, look for color and size. Healthy leaves will have no discoloration on or below them and stems will be sturdy, not straggly. Be sure to avoid any plants with obvious signs of pests as well.
- Place plants in pots with drainage holes to avoid root rot. Do not use a saucer beneath your pot unless filled with pebbles.
- Use soil-less potting mixture (not dirt) when planting in containers.
- For maximum bloom, place the plants in an area where they will get 4-6 hours of sunlight daily.
Care
- Watering once in a week.
- During the winter water much less, but do not let the roots dry out.
- To encourage blooming, deadhead spent flowers.
- To promote bushiness and avoid legginess, pinch the stems.
- During active growing months, fertilize every 2 weeks. Use a water-soluable fertilizer at half strength. Don't fertilize in winter.
- Geraniums can be re-potted as needed during the spring to be refreshed.
