Growth habit

Geraniums like a warm climate, avoid high temperatures, and are not resistant to cold. The suitable temperature for the growth of geraniums is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. Indoor culture should be kept between 10 degrees Celsius in winter. Freezing injury may occur if the temperature is less than 5 degrees Celsius. At a high temperature in summer, when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius, the plant will go dormant. Try to maintain ventilation to avoid unventilated muggy environment, which is not conducive to plant growth.

Soil selection

The pot-cultured geranium soil chose the weak alkaline soil with loose, fertile and good drainage function. Humus 50%, garden soil 30%, coarse sand or perlite 15%, plus 5% organic fertilizer mixed culture soil. Turn the basin regularly in spring and autumn every year, or loosen the soil in time.

Fertilization method

During the growing period of Tianzhulan, thin liquid fertilizer was applied every 10-15 days, while in spring and autumn, liquid fertilizer was applied every 7-10 days. Nitrogen fertilizer was applied before flowering and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer was used after budding. It is best to fertilize in the evening and water the next morning. High temperature plants in summer are in dormant period, so fertilizer should be stopped.
