The main mistakes in caring for geraniums, because of which the flower will turn from a beauty into a beast
Many gardeners consider pelargonium to be a plant that is undemanding to its living conditions.
However, this does not mean that geranium does not need care, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
First, if you are at the stage of choosing a site for planting a plant, monitor the groundwater level.
The flower will not be able to please you with lush greenery and abundant flowering if the area is swampy.
You can tell that the place is not suitable for geranium by the yellowed and wilted leaves. In this case, the pelargonium should be replanted.
If you have chosen a sun-loving variety, remember: shade is detrimental to such plants.
Conversely, varieties that do not tolerate heat well should be placed away from direct hot sun.
Finally, another gross mistake when growing pelargonium is ignoring such a procedure as pruning. Geranium will soon lose its attractiveness if it is not regularly pruned.
