To grow geraniums, use pots with good air permeability and good soil drainage. Watering should be done thoroughly during normal times, and shelter should be taken when it rains continuously. Do not apply heavy fertilizer to it, but apply some thin light fertilizer in combination with watering. Proper ventilation is required in hot seasons to avoid root rot. Dead branches and yellow leaves should be cut off in time, and the overwintering temperature should be above 0°.

1. Moisture

Geranium likes semi-dry soil and cannot accumulate water. If it rains continuously, it must be placed in a sheltered environment, otherwise it will easily cause root rot. . During maintenance, it should be thoroughly dry and watered, especially in high temperature seasons. Do not overwater, as it will easily cause root rot.

2. Pot soil

When planting, you should choose flower pots with good air permeability, such as mud pots, clay pots, and ceramic pots. The soil should be mixed with peat, perlite or sand as much as possible, and should have good drainage, which is conducive to its growth.

3. Fertilization

Pelargonium does not need too concentrated fertilizer during its growth. Its root system is very weak and thin. You can usually add a little thin fertilizer to the water when watering. Use light fertilizer and water, do not water too much, and do not apply thick fertilizer or raw fertilizer, which will cause root rot. When applying fertilizers, pay attention to the content of phosphorus and potash fertilizers, and do not use too much nitrogen fertilizers.

4. Ventilation

During the high temperature season in summer, it must be placed in a shaded and ventilated environment, otherwise root rot and death will easily occur.

5. Pruning

Yellow leaves may appear during the growth process. As long as the number is not large, it is normal renewal. We can remove it in time. Branches that have bloomed should be pruned in time so that the buds behind them can germinate again, allowing new flowers to bloom and extending the flowering period.

6. Temperature

As long as the temperature is not below 0℃ in winter, it can survive the winter normally.
