What doesn’t geranium like? If you don’t make any mistakes in care, it will be full of flowers
The best place to grow geraniums is a well-sunny balcony or terrace. They like to grow in large pots or troughs in loose soil. It is important for the plant to keep the soil slightly moist, but under no circumstances should you overwater the geranium. When it has too much water, it quickly wastes away and the flowers fall off. Withered flowers should be regularly removed from the plant, and during flowering it is worth using home fertilization. Few people know that geranium is a perennial plant. If we want to overwinter the plant, it should be moved to a bright room with a constant, low temperature, e.g. a garage with windows. In spring, transplant it to new soil and prune it to the desired shape.
What fertilizer does geranium like? The best one you can make yourself at home
In order for geraniums to be covered with flowers, it is worth giving them a “kick” to grow. Treat them to home-cooked potatoes and they will reward you with lush blooms. Thanks to it, you will provide plants with the potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen they need, and you will not spend a penny on it. Just put two small potatoes into the blender cup and pour 1.5 liters of water over them.. Blend for about 3 minutes and use a strainer to strain the liquid into a bowl. Mix the leftover pulp with the soil and water the plants with the mixture once a month.

If you have some yeast left from baking a cake, be sure to use it as a nutrient for geraniums. It has a positive effect on the root system of plants and the durability of flowers. You need half a liter of warm water, 5-7g and half a teaspoon of sugar. Mix all ingredients together and leave for an hour. After this time, add 2.5 liters of water, mix and the fertilizer is ready for use. Use it 1-2 times a month. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
