If you want to grow geraniums well, it is most important to understand its habits. Generally speaking, geraniums like a cool environment in summer and warm in winter. As long as you pay attention to heat preservation in winter and avoid heat in summer, you can ensure that geraniums grow well all year round. This happens to be an important reason for its long flowering period. As for the choice of soil, geraniums actually do not have high requirements for soil, basically as long as the soil is hydrophobic and breathable. However, in the later stage of planting, we should pay attention to avoid soil hardening.

Whether plants grow well or not has a lot to do with water. Generally speaking, the growth of geraniums does not need too much water, so we only need to do "dry and then water, water must be thoroughly watered". If watering too little, the leaves will be short of water, withered and wilted; if too much watering, it is very likely to cause stagnant water in the basin, and the soil will eventually rot under hypoxia. As for the season, it is usually possible to increase the amount of water in spring and autumn and decrease in summer and winter. Especially in summer, if you encounter a rainy day, you'd better do a good job in flood prevention.

Although geranium is not a fertilizer-loving plant, its growth process, especially at flowering stage, still needs fertilizer supplement. In terms of fertilization, we can follow the principle of "a small number of times", determine the amount of fertilizer used according to the factors such as the size of the basin and the size of the geranium plant, and then apply fertilizer in accordance with the principles we have introduced above. if you apply too much fertilizer, it may bring greater pressure to the roots and affect its normal growth. if the amount of fertilizer is too small, it will not play a role, but will cause soil consolidation.

Of course, it is June, and we should also talk about the season. "spending the summer with geraniums" has always been a difficult problem for many planting enthusiasts, so how to deal with it? In general, geraniums spend summer most afraid of waterlogging and high temperature, the former lies in overwatering or Rain Water soaking, light soil consolidation, anoxic plant withering and wilting, more serious may also breed black rot, so we must deal with it in time. The high temperature is likely to burn plants directly, so it is recommended to build a sunshade net above 35 degrees, and remove the net if it is below 35 degrees, or put delicate varieties on the north balcony.
