What to do if geranium grows too tall

Excessive water and fertilizer causes geranium to grow too tall

Too much water and fertilizer will cause the plant to grow too tall, and geraniums are no exception.

When watering geraniums, if you water them too much, the plants will grow vigorously and appear to be growing wildly, which is called "stunted growth". In addition, too much watering or rain will cause water accumulation in the pot, which is also not good.

The main reason why geraniums grow tall and straight is due to excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer, which provides the plant with a large amount of nutrients, causing it to grow vigorously and grow tall and straight.

It can be seen from this that geraniums need to be watered and fertilized in moderation. The soil in the pot should be kept moist when watering. Be careful not to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer when fertilizing, but also do not fertilize too little, as this will affect flowering. Keep its various growth elements balanced so that it will grow well and bloom well.

Geraniums grow too tall due to lack of light

Insufficient light mainly occurs when plants are kept indoors for a long time or in seasons with shorter daylight hours such as winter. If there is insufficient light, the geranium plant will grow rapidly, but it will affect flowering.

Therefore, when growing geraniums indoors, they need to be placed in a place with sufficient light, and also pay attention to maintaining sufficient light in winter.

Improper temperature causes geranium to grow too tall

When growing geraniums, you need to pay attention to temperature changes. Geraniums are sensitive to temperature changes. Once the maintenance temperature is not suitable, it will affect flowering and growth.

In winter, the temperature is relatively low, and some geraniums grown indoors may be kept in a higher temperature range. Generally, when the temperature is higher than 20℃, it will cause the branches and leaves to grow too long. The temperature should be maintained appropriately in winter. The temperature for wintering should not be too high, but it is best not to be lower than 0℃.
