Geranium: growing, propagation and care at home.

General rules for caring for geraniums

Geranium is a fairly unpretentious plant that likes to grow in bright places.

Therefore, you should place the plant on a windowsill, loggia, terrace or balcony.

Make sure there are no drafts or direct sunlight.

The sun's rays in hot weather can cause burns to the leaves of the plant.

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).

What doesn't geranium like

Geranium does not like spraying so much that it is better to put the pot with it aside when giving a “shower” to your other green pets.

In a very warm room, geranium will turn green and grow well, but will not produce flowers.
