How to make geraniums overflow the pot and what to do if they grow too tall

1. How to make the pot explode

1. Adequate light: If you want the geranium to bloom, you must give it sufficient light. Let it get more sunlight in spring and autumn, and control the daily light time between six and eight hours. But be careful not to overexert yourself in the sun as the sunlight is too strong in summer. It is best to expose the plant to sunlight all day in winter, as this will promote growth and encourage more flowering.

2. Water in moderation: It is better to keep the plant dry than wet. The specific frequency of watering depends on the season. If the temperature is low in winter, water the plant once every other week at noon. In spring and autumn, the soil should be kept moist, but not waterlogged. During the rainy season, water supply will be cut off and drainage will be carried out.

3. Adequate nutrients: It needs more nutrients to grow out of the pot, so you need to fertilize it frequently. It can be applied once every half a month during the growing season, and organic liquid fertilizer can be used. During the flowering period, you should also water the plant with dilute fertilizer water. Be careful not to use raw or concentrated fertilizer at any time to avoid fertilizer damage.

2. What to do if the growth is too long

There are three main reasons why geraniums grow too tall. One is the lack of light. When there is a lack of light, the branches and leaves will grow too long, the leaves will be weak, and there will be few or even no flowers. It is necessary to move it to a place with light in time and provide more light. The second is temperature discomfort. This phenomenon may occur at either high or low temperatures. Note that the low temperature in winter should not be lower than 10 degrees, and the high temperature should not be higher than 20 degrees. The third is improper fertilization. If too much nitrogen fertilizer is used, the plant will easily grow too tall. It is necessary to ensure that all elements of the fertilizer are well balanced, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in time to promote root and rhizome growth.
