II. Geranium cultivation methods
1. Soil
The geranium soil can be mixed with humus, peat soil, river sand, and organic fertilizer for pot cultivation. It is generally better to choose loose and breathable soil. The pot can be turned over every autumn, or the soil should be loosened in a timely manner.
2. Fertilization
During the growing period of geranium, liquid fertilizer should be applied once every 7-10 days; before budding, nitrogen fertilizer should be the main nutrient, and after budding, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be the main nutrients, with a concentration of 0.1% to 0.2%. In winter, when kept indoors, the temperature is higher, and the plant will not stop growing, so fertilization can be appropriate. In summer, the plant is in a semi-dormant state and should stop fertilizing.
3. Watering
Geranium watering should be moderate and not too wet. Root rot can occur if it is too wet; on cloudy or rainy days, it is generally not watered, allowing the plant to receive some rainwater, but avoiding too much rain to prevent root rot.
4. Temperature
Geranium prefers warmth and is afraid of cold. The suitable growing temperature for geranium is between 15-25°C. In winter, the indoor temperature should be maintained at 10°C. Below 3°C, the plant can be easily damaged by cold, but some varieties can withstand temperatures as low as 0°C. In summer, when the temperature exceeds 35°C, the plant enters a semi-dormant state. Try to maintain ventilation and avoid a stuffy environment, which is not conducive to dormancy.
5. Sunlight
Geranium is not afraid of strong sunlight, but after flowering, it should not be exposed to direct strong sunlight. Under sunlight, geranium grows robustly, with dark green leaves, short internodes, and a beautiful plant shape. When cultivating in a pot, it can be placed outdoors to bask in the sun, and when flowering, it can be moved indoors for appreciation and care, with moderate sunlight, as strong sunlight can easily cause the flowers to wither.
