Plant Care & Growing Tips

Ensuring your white geranium live plant thrives requires understanding a few basic care guidelines. These plants are generally easy to care for, making them a rewarding choice for gardeners of all skill levels. They prefer a location that receives ample sunlight, ideally full sun for at least 6 hours a day, but they can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates where afternoon shade can prevent scorching. Adequate light is crucial for prolific blooming, contributing to a vibrant display of fragrant geranium flowers.

When it comes to watering, geraniums prefer consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensuring good drainage is paramount. They thrive in well-drained soils, whether planted directly in the garden or in pots. For optimal growth, use a good quality potting mix for containers or amend garden soil with organic matter to improve drainage and fertility. Regular deadheading – removing spent flowers – will encourage the plant to produce more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance, which is a key aspect of hardy geranium care.

Geraniums are generally robust but benefit from occasional feeding with a balanced liquid fertilizer during their active growing season (spring and summer) to support their continuous flowering. Protect them from frost if you live in zones colder than 10, as they are not frost-tolerant. In colder regions, they can be treated as annuals or overwintered indoors. Proper spacing, about 12 to 24 inches apart, allows for good air circulation and provides room for them to fill out, creating a beautiful display of white flowering plants.
