Pelargonium is also called hydrangea. There are many varieties. It grows obliquely and fleshy in the seedling stage. The branches gradually become lignified or semi-lignified after they become old. The leaves are covered with a thin layer of fluff. They are green in color, rounded and oval in shape, with wavy or small serrations on the edges. Some varieties have dark red stripes in the center of the leaves. Under different varieties and different climate conditions, the flowering period is slightly different. Different, but generally between spring and autumn, propagation is mainly done by sowing and cuttings. Geranium likes a sunny environment, warm in winter and cool in summer, and can also tolerate semi-shade. It can grow normally in a controlled scattered sunlight environment with 4-6 hours of sunshine.
Geraniums should avoid waterlogging. They are easy to grow, rotten roots and yellow leaves in an isolated environment. They do not need much water for daily protection and should not be applied with heavy fertilizers. However, the basic principle of seeing dry and wet should be implemented according to the dryness of the soil in the basin. In principle, too much fertilizer can easily lead to lush foliage and no flowers. In addition, pruning should be carried out during the vigorous growth period and after flowers fall to promote branching and reduce nutrient consumption. Geranium has green leaves and bright flowers, which are very beautiful, so it has always been loved by people. A large number of cuttings are propagated by using branches and leaves every year, and it is easier to take root and has a high survival rate.
Although geraniums are easier to take root, many people have problems when transplanting after new roots grow, causing the entire plant to wither. Here are some details you should pay attention to when cutting and transplanting geraniums into pots. Geranium is a very, very popular plant because it blooms continuously all year round if properly protected. Our protection temperature should not be lower than 15 degrees. It is basically propagated through cuttings. You can cut the branches to survive. , rooting is good, so how should we take cuttings?
How should we protect it after it takes root? I will tell you about it today. Cutting of geranium is very simple, no matter whether the branches are old or tender. When cutting, try not to make them too short. It is best to keep the branches about 10 cm. When cutting, cut an oblique cut at the bottom of the branch and remove the slit that blocks the bottom. Take out the leaves for him and keep about 2 centimeters below the pole. When cutting, we can directly use soil with good air permeability, or we can use perlite or vermiculite for cutting. Insert it directly into the bottom of the soil and water it directly. Don't forget to add a little rooting liquid when watering.
