The Geranium Vining

Plant in garden beds, planters and hanging baskets.

Make sure you plants get at least 6 hours of sun each day and are protected from strong winds.

Use a well drained mildly acidic soil for best plant growth.

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.

Indoor geraniums will flower if put in a very sunny spot. Make sure they are in a container large enough for the plant with good drainage. Fertilize every month spring through summer and every other month fall through winter.

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