1. Soil
The soil for geraniums can be a mixture of humus, peat soil, river sand, and organic fertilizer for pot cultivation. It is generally better to choose loose and breathable soil. Potting can be done every autumn, or the soil should be loosened in a timely manner.

During the growth period of geraniums, liquid fertilizer should be applied once every 7-10 days; before budding, nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used, and after budding, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is mainly used, with a concentration of 0.1%-0.2%. In winter, when kept indoors with higher temperatures, the plant will not stop growing and can be fertilized appropriately. In summer, however, the plant is in a semi-dormant state and fertilization should be stopped.
3. Watering
Watering for geraniums should be moderate and not too wet. Overwatering can cause root rot. Keeping the soil from积水 is sufficient; on cloudy or rainy days, watering is generally not needed, allowing the plant to receive some rainwater, but avoid excessive rainfall, as it can easily cause root rot.

Geraniums prefer warmth and dislike cold. The suitable growth temperature for geraniums is between 15-25°C. In winter, the indoor temperature should be maintained at 10°C, as temperatures below 3°C can cause cold damage, 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.

Geraniums are not afraid of strong sunlight, but after flowering, they should not be exposed to direct strong sunlight. Under the sun, geraniums grow robustly with dark green leaves, short internodes, and a beautiful plant shape.
