Geranium monthly maintenance tips

Geranium January

Place the plant in a sunny place and increase the temperature appropriately to avoid frost damage. Water the plants when the weather is sunny, at noon, and do not use cold water or snow water. It is best to let tap water reach room temperature before use.

Geranium in February

Starting from February , apply thin liquid fertilizer once every two weeks and increase the amount of watering appropriately. When the weather is clear, you can open the windows for ventilation, but be careful in windy weather and do not let the cold wind blow directly.

Geranium in March

March is suitable for cuttings, pruning, selecting mother plants that bloom frequently and grow well, and cutting off strong branches. Cut off the excess branches and leaves, place them in a cool place for a week, and then plant them in the soil after they wilt slightly. (I haven't learned the cutting method yet, haha, here is the detailed cutting guide, teaching you the cutting method of geranium ) Some varieties will bloom in April . When pruning, do not cut off several flower buds to affect flowering.

Geranium in April
