How to care for geraniums so that they bloom beautifully? This question is asked by everyone who starts growing them. And this one is not demanding at all, but we can make a few mistakes. As a result, we won’t be able to count on an abundance of flowers. The leaves will start to turn yellow and the whole plant will look miserable. How to deal with this?
How to care for geraniums?
Geraniums reward you with a wealth of colorful flowers if you take proper care of them. It is worth getting to know these plants before we start growing them. Geraniums like sun, warmth and rather dry conditions. Of course, we are not talking about drying out the plants, but it is worth watering carefully. They don’t like too much moisture, so before adding more water, check whether the soil is still wet. Before putting it in a pot, make sure there is a solid layer of drainage, which will prevent the roots from getting soaked and, as a result, from the appearance of mold. The basis for geraniums, just like for other plants, is appropriate soil. Geraniums like fertile soil, so don’t forget about fertilizing.

Geraniums have yellow leaves and are dying before your eyes? Perhaps we provided them with poor conditions. If we placed them in the shade, it is worth moving them to the south side of the house to catch more sun. Let’s also check the soil to make sure it is not soaked. It is also good to prepare appropriate fertilizer. It is best if it is rich in potassium and phosphorus, which are excellent for the condition of geraniums.
How to water geraniums to make them bloom beautifully?
We water geraniums regularly. They need a lot of water to grow, but – as we mentioned – they cannot tolerate excessive moisture. It is good to fertilize them every 7-10 days. We can use preparations available in gardening stores, but products we already have at home will work just as well. How to water geraniums to make them bloom beautifully? Home remedies include, among others: banana peel fertilizer, water “seasoned” with nettle or horsetail manure (in a 1:10 ratio) or onion peel fertilizer (boil 50 g of onion peels in 2 liters of water and leave for a few hours, then strain and water the geraniums with it).
