What's wrong with the latest geranium leaves?

Geranium is a kind of sun-loving plant. If there is not enough light, its leaves will grow smaller and smaller. It is most suitable to grow in loose, porous, well-drained and fertile sandy soil. If the soil is uncomfortable, its leaves will become smaller and smaller, as well as insufficient nutrients and too much watering, which will also lead to smaller and smaller leaves of geraniums.

The reason why the leaves of geranium are getting smaller and smaller.

1. Lack of light

Geranium is a kind of sun-loving plant, its leaves need enough light to grow, if there is not enough light, it will not be able to carry out photosynthesis, so its leaves will become smaller and smaller, so we need to replenish light for it at this time. but be careful not to let it be exposed to strong light in summer.

2. Soil discomfort

Geranium has certain requirements on soil, and it is most suitable to grow in loose, permeable, well-drained and fertile sandy soil. If the soil is uncomfortable or does not change new soil for a long time, its roots will not be able to absorb nutrients and water. In this way, the leaves of the plant are easy to grow smaller and smaller.

3. Lack of nutrients

The leaves of geraniums are getting smaller and smaller, and it may also be caused by lack of nutrients. During its growing period, it needs to be fertilized, especially when it grows leaves, some nitrogen fertilizer can be applied appropriately, which is beneficial to its leaf growth. However, it should be noted that it is not tolerant to big fertilizer, so fertilization should grasp the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently.

4. Overwatering

Geranium likes to grow in a slightly dry environment, it is a kind of plant that is not resistant to waterlogging, if it is watered too much, its roots are easy to rot, so it will grow badly, and the leaves will grow smaller and smaller, so it needs to be watered reasonably.
