Additional Tips to Keep Geraniums Thriving
-
Sunlight: Ensure your geraniums get plenty of sunlight—at least 6 hours a day if grown indoors or in shaded areas.
-
Watering: Water moderately, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between watering to prevent root rot.
-
Deadheading: Regularly remove dead or faded flowers to encourage new blooms.
-
Good Drainage: Always use pots with drainage holes, and avoid letting water pool at the base of the plant.
