The Geranium Salome

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.

The geranium will do best in a well drained soil (a mix of soil and peat moss for container plants is good).

Keeping geraniums in containers is nice if you live in a climate with a harsh winter – you can bring the plant in in the cold weather and set it back out when the last frost is over. Make sure you give it a planter that is large enough for the plant and take care to not overwater.

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.
