Common Questions
Do I need to deadhead my geranium flowers?
Yes, to prolong your bloom season you will need to deadhead your spent blooms.
How much water to potted geraniums need?
This will depend on temperatures. A good rule of thumb is 2 – 3 times per week. In the garden once established you can allow the soil to dry out between and watering once a week is often enough.
Do I need to fertilize my plants?
Geraniums benefit from an application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 2 to 4 weeks. Skip this if you used a potting medium in your containers plants that already have fertilizer in the mix.
Do I need to prune my geranium plants?
Branches should be pinched back just above the leaf node. Remove flower stems at their base. It is also key to check regularly and remove any damaged stems or foliage.
Do geraniums do better in pots or in the ground?
Geraniums are excellent container plants. They can also do well as bedding plants and in borders, however growing them in pots allows for greater control over water, heat and sun exposure.
Can geraniums grow indoors?
Potted geraniums can do well as indoor plants provided you can give them enough light exposure.
