How to Prune Geranium (Pruning and Maintenance Skills of Geranium)
Geranium, also known as Rulahong, means happiness around and symbolizes pure and sincere friendship. It is deeply loved by women and is an ornamental plant. Geranium also has the function of stopping bleeding and repairing scars, which is sought after by the majority of plant lovers. The main propagation mode of geranium is cutting, so how and when to cut, and what are the specific matters? Let's take a closer look.

1. Cutting time

It is best to choose the cutting time in spring and autumn, when the weather is warm and the temperature and humidity are suitable, which is conducive to the survival and growth after cutting. It is best to choose March-April in spring and 10 in autumn.

2. Cutting selection

It is best to choose solid branches with small cross section for cutting, and the cut branches must grow healthily and vigorously to improve the survival rate. The branches that have just been cut can't be cut immediately, but can only be done after the cross section is naturally dried.

3. Culture substrate

Geranium doesn't require much soil, and loose sand can ensure its sufficient drainage performance. A better way is to spread a layer of fine sand and gravel at the bottom of the basin to increase air permeability and drainage. If conditions permit, peat soil or rotten leaves can be added to provide nutrients for plant growth.

Step 4: Cutting

First poke a small hole in the paved soil with a pen or toothpick, not too deep, about 3~5 cm. Then put the cut branches into the small holes and pat them flat and compact. Don't directly insert branches into the soil, it will damage branches, and so will pressing the soil hard.

water

You can spray some water properly to keep the soil moist, so as to promote the rooting of plants. Don't water too much. Too much water will make the soil too loose and make plants unable to take root.

The freshly cut geranium is delicate and can't stand strong light, so it should be placed in a semi-cool place for astigmatism maintenance. After 2~3 weeks, the cut geraniums are basically stable and can be maintained in sunny places.
