How do I make my geraniums thrive?
The key to successfully growing geraniums in pots is to place them in sunny locations and out of damaging winds. The added benefit of growing geraniums in pots is that you can simply move pots inside during the winter. When placed in a sunny window, geraniums will thrive as a houseplant even in the coldest months.
Where do geraniums grow best?
Most annual geraniums need a spot in full sun, except for the ivy geranium, which grows best in light shade. Perennial geraniums, on the other hand, grow in either sun or shade, depending on the type.
Should geraniums be cut back?
After a perennial geranium has spent the season in bloom and begins to die back, you'll want to prune it. This keeps the plant dormant for the winter and also helps it to store energy for spring.
Why won't my geraniums grow?
A. The two most common reasons for geraniums not blooming prolifically are too little light or too much fertilizer. Geraniums are a sun loving plant that need 4-6 hours of full sun a day, or perhaps longer in somewhat filtered light. South and west exposures are usually best.
Do geraniums like coffee grounds?
Just save a little of your leftover coffee grounds and sprinkle them onto the soil, then water your plant as normal. ... Geraniums in particular just love coffee, and so do Peace Lily plants! Just give it a try, your plants will thank you for it ;)
What is the best fertilizer for geraniums?
Fertilizer For Outdoor Geraniums
Liquid fertilizers are considered by many to be the best since they are easily absorbed by the plants. A 20-20-20 fertilizer (all-purpose fertilizer) will do just fine since it contains three of the essential nutrients that geraniums need: potassium, phosphorous, and nitrogen.
