Dilys Geranium Seeds Of Wisdom
Plant the geranium in an area that has good drainage and slightly acidic soil.
If planting in containers, choose planters that will be large enough to support growth of the plant. If you find the plant wilting between watering, this may be a sign that it needs to be repotted. Make sure there is adequate drainage and take care not to overwater.
Geraniums should be planted in an area that is sheltered from strong winds. Put them in a spot where there will be full sun for 6 to 8 hours a day. Use a well drained soil that is slightly acidic. Prepare the bed by fertilizing with a 5-10-5 fertilizer. Once the flowers are planted, fertilize once a month with a 10-10-10 fertilizer. Mulch the area and water once a week or as required.
They can be grown as a bedding, in containers or a hanging plant.
