The Geranium Biokovo

Geraniums can be grown indoors, outdoors in containers and planted in flower beds.

Geraniums need 6 hours of sun every day to flourish so plant them in a spot that is at least partially sunny.

Soil conditions should be slightly acidic and well drained.

Geraniums grow nicely in patio containers and planters. Make sure you use a soil mixture that drains well (soil and peat moss or perlite) and do not over water. It is important to keep your plant in a container that is large enough to support growth or you will find the plant will wilt and look unhealthy.

Geraniums can be nice to have indoors to brighten up a dull winter. Make sure you put them in a very sunny spot and use a well drained potting mix. Optimum temperatures for these plants is 65 degrees in the day and 55 at night.

Make sure you check Your Biokovo for signs of pests and diseases
