Flowering is more beautiful than hydrangea. It's good to feed the balcony. A pot of mosquitoes dare not come.

Geranium, alias hydrangea, mosquito repellent, foreign butterfly, the name is very eye-catching, the flowers are more charming, pink flowers are shy, bright red, purple charming, a few are colorful, is the first small demon in the courtyard and balcony.

Geraniums are adaptable and easy to raise. Just pay attention to the following points in the use of fertilizer:

Pay attention to the frequent application of thin fertilizer at flowering stage

The roots of geraniums are relatively low, do not apply too much fertilizer at one time, so as not to hurt the roots. Its flowering period is from May to July, so it must be given phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in advance, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, once or twice a month, to supplement the nutrients needed during flowering, do not apply fertilizer during flowering, and so on, prune the residual flowers in time, and then apply multi-element organic fertilizer to supplement the nutrients consumed by flowering.

If you want to blossom more, you have to pay attention to whether the light is sufficient.

Lack of light for a long time, the flowers of the plant are easy to grow, the buds are also few, and the flowers are thin and weak, sparse, not in the state.

Fertilization in growing period

During the growing period of geranium, it is good to apply mixed fertilizer once or twice a month. You can use your own retting cake fertilizer, organic fertilizer, or three or four grains of compound fertilizer to apply frequently to a bottle of water and thin fertilizer. Pay attention to pruning and topping, so as to avoid overgrowing flowers. In summer, we must pay attention to the air permeability of flowers and plants to avoid rotting roots because of high humidity and high temperature.

Regular pruning and topping can make the geranium have many lateral branches, which can bloom into a large bouquet, which is very beautiful.

Watering

When the weather is clear, the water evaporates quickly and the basin soil dries fast. it may be watered once in two or three days, sometimes every day; if the air humidity is high, it is necessary to reduce the watering. When the basin soil is half dry, it is OK to water it directly. The root system of the geranium is generally shallow, all in the upper layer of the basin soil, so do not often lack water, which will lead to dry leaves, yellow leaves and malnutrition.

The pruned geranium can also be used for cutting. it can easily take root and grow into a robust seedling.

However, geraniums have a special taste, many flower friends do not like, raise a pot on the balcony, this smell can play a deworming effect
