How does Geranium bloom in the summer
The editor will answer for everyone the knowledge about how Geranium blooms in the summer and the cultivation methods and precautions related to flowers and plants. Next, the editor will introduce to everyone.
Geranium is known as a flowering machine. If we cultivate Geranium with suitable temperature and light, it can bloom continuously throughout the four seasons. Moreover, the flowers of Geranium are particularly beautiful and there are many varieties. Some friends grow only Geranium in their gardens, and they can grow large Geranium into a flower ball with a diameter of about one meter, which is truly eye-catching.
However, Geranium has a fatal weakness, which is that it is very heat-sensitive. During the high-temperature season of summer, it enters a dormant period and must be carefully cared for to survive the summer. By doing these few points during the dormant period, it can not only safely survive the summer but also bloom continuously.
First, it is impossible without light
If you want Geranium to bloom all year round, it needs to be exposed to light all year. In the summer, when there is no direct sunlight indoors, Geranium will not die if kept indoors, but it will not bloom. Therefore, in order to make it bloom, it is necessary to have sufficient light exposure. If kept outdoors, it should be placed in a semi-shaded area or exposed to 2-3 hours of sunlight per day. If kept indoors, you can use a supplementary light to hang over it, with about 3-4 hours of exposure per day, and Geranium can still normally differentiate flower buds and bloom. Light is an important condition for its flowering.

Second, poor ventilation is not allowed
Why is Geranium prone to black rot, yellow leaves,烂 leaves, and rotten roots in the summer? It is due to poor ventilation. If Geranium is kept indoors with poor indoor ventilation, after watering, it does not see sunlight and the ventilation is poor, so it dries slowly. The root system of Geranium is not very developed, mostly consisting of fine roots, so if the potting soil is too compacted, it can easily cause root rot.
When the roots rot, you may not even know it until the leaves turn yellow and fall off, and the stem rots, which is too late to notice. It is best to keep Geranium on the balcony for good ventilation or in a semi-shaded area outdoors.
