Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your geranium live plant is straightforward, making them a joy for gardeners of all skill levels. For optimal growth and prolific blooming, provide them with plenty of sunlight. Geraniums thrive in full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. They can also tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates where some afternoon protection from intense sun can prevent scorching. Ensure they are placed in an area that receives adequate light for the best flower production.

When it comes to watering, moderation is key. Geraniums prefer well-draining soil and should be watered thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. For soil type, a well-drained potting mix or garden soil is ideal. Good drainage is crucial for their health, so consider amending heavy clay soils with organic matter like compost to improve permeability. These perennial geraniums are generally hardy in USDA Zones 9–11, meaning they can survive winter and return in these warmer regions. In colder zones, they are typically grown as annuals or can be overwintered indoors.

Fertilize your geraniums every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring through fall) with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage continuous blooming. Deadhead spent flowers regularly by pinching them off at the stem to promote new growth and more blooms. This practice also helps maintain a tidy appearance and prevents the plant from expending energy on seed production. With these simple steps, your colorful flower plants will flourish and provide a stunning display throughout the season.
