The perfect fertilizer for geraniums!Geraniums development
Geraniums can reach a height of 30 to 60 cm and the same width.
Pelargonium - position
Geraniums can grow in full sun. They thrive best in permeable, moist soil.
Geranium care
We supply geraniums every two weeks. During very hot weather, the plants can be watered several times a day, because the soil dries up quickly in the sun.Regular feeding and watering is the key to abundant and long flowering.Faded inflorescences are cut out on a regular basis. Thanks to this, we stimulate the plants to re-flower, and in addition, we reduce the risk of infection with a fungal disease.Plants can be attacked by aphids and spider mites.
Pelargonium - wintering
We put geraniums in the quarters as soon as the first frosts come. We shorten the shoots by half their length.Geraniums winter best in a bright, cool room with a temperature of 10-14 ° C.
Application of geraniums
Pelargonium is a well-known balcony plant that has been proven in various arrangements. It looks very good in boxes, in plantings of several varieties with different color of flowers.Upright varieties can also be planted into the ground.Pelargonium looks great against conifers.
Tip
To excess watering, pelargonium reacts with corky changes on the leaves.Then irrigation should be limited.
