Here’s how to have geraniums full of flowers: you have to water them like this to always have them thriving

recip


  • Don’t water on a schedule (e.g., “every day”). Instead, check the soil with your finger.
  • Don’t let pots sit in saucers of water—this causes root rot.
  • Don’t mist the leaves—geraniums prefer dry foliage.

🌿 Signs You’re Watering Right

  • Healthy: Firm stems, deep green leaves, constant flower production
  • Too dry: Wilting, yellow lower leaves, dropped buds
  • Too wet: Yellowing leaves (especially new growth), mushy stems, no blooms
💡 Pro Tip: In hot summer months, container geraniums may need watering every 1–2 days. In cool spring/fall weather, once every 3–4 days may suffice.

🌸 Bonus Tips for Maximum Blooms

  1. Deadhead regularly: Pinch off spent flowers to encourage new buds.
  2. Feed lightly: Use a balanced fertilizer (like 10-10-10) every 2–3 weeks—but never fertilize dry soil.
  3. Give full sun: At least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  4. Use well-draining soil: Mix potting soil with perlite or sand for containers.

❤️ The Bottom Line

Geraniums don’t need constant attention—they need smart care. By watering deeply and letting them dry out between drinks, you mimic their native South African habitat and trigger abundant flowering.
“Happy geraniums aren’t the ones watered most—they’re the ones watered wisely.” 🌺✨
Follow this method, and your geraniums will reward you with color all season long!
