Geranium Care

Smile.  You're on candid camera.  

Should have pulled the burnt leaf off before taking pic.  

~LAST YEARS GERANIUMS~

This year, these containers will migrate to the back yard for the patio garden and have peppers or tomatoes in them.  I have planted geraniums for years.

New urns for the porch were bought and in May I will plant geraniums.  Hardy plants.  I like 'em.

Plant Geraniums mid to late May when the threat of frost is over and the soil is warm.  Will need proper drainage and a full day of sun in pH soil at 6.5.

I learned that when you water them, avoid pouring water on the leaves.  Instead give the plants a drink at the base of the stem early in the morning.

Water once a week.

Pull off dead leaves and passed blossoms.  This will help stop diseases like black leg, gray mold, rust and leaf spots.

Easy does it,
