The plant is not very whimsical, but loves well-lit rooms.
Therefore, pelargonium is placed on well-lit window sills, loggias, balconies, terraces and away from drafts.
In the hot season, the plant must be protected from direct sunlight to avoid burns on the leaves.
What should be the pot for geraniums
Large containers force geraniums to intensively develop their root system.
The advantage of this approach will be the abundant growth of flower greenery.
The optimal solution would be a pot with a diameter that varies from 12 to 14 centimeters, and a height that does not exceed 15 cm.
What's the best way to grow geraniums
Geranium is very light-loving; if pelargonium is kept warm and in bright light, the bush will bloom all year round; pinch the shoots if you want the pelargonium to grow in the form of a fluffy bush;
Remove dried buds in time, then new ones will grow in their place faster.
How often should geraniums be watered in summer
In spring and summer, watering once every 3-4 days is optimal.
Keep in mind that pelargonium does not like excess moisture.
Therefore, before watering, it is necessary to assess whether the top layer of soil has dried out (to do this, you need to dig your finger or a thin stick into the ground).
