Care of geranium during dormancy

Care of Geraniums

As the hot summer approaches, geraniums will slowly stop growing. At this time, the leaves will become dry and wrinkled, which is the so-called dormancy phenomenon. At this time, you need to move the geranium to a cooler place indoors, stop using fertilizer, and water it in time. After the hot summer is over, you can change the soil for the geranium, prune off bad branches, etc.

Temperature Management

First of all, it needs to be maintained according to changes in temperature. It can be placed outdoors for management in spring and autumn. In summer, because it enters a dormant period, stop using fertilizer at this time, and then place it in a ventilated and cool place. In summer, if the room is air-conditioned and well ventilated, as long as there is sufficient light, the geranium will bloom quickly and the flowering period may be extended. Fertilizer and water management

In autumn, the temperature generally drops and geraniums will enter their peak growth season. At this time, we need to increase the amount of fertilizer and water, and often apply a small amount of liquid mixed fertilizer into the flower pots, which can effectively maintain soil nutrients and enable geraniums to bloom faster.

Pruning Management

To grow a good geranium, it is necessary to prune the branches and leaves. Usually, those with poor growth and branches will be removed, which is more conducive to the growth of new seedlings. During the pruning process, you should cut lightly. Pruning too hard will damage the beauty of the geranium.
