How to prune and treat geraniums so that they bloom with huge inflorescences: detailed instructions
If you want to achieve lush flowering of geranium, you should pay attention to annual pruning of the plant.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , for pruning geraniums it is worth using the autumn months, when the flower has finished blooming - November or even December.
The procedure is performed with sharp scissors or secateurs. Stems should be left 10-12 cm high from the ground. New shoots will begin to grow from them later.
After the operation is completed, the flower should be treated.
For this purpose, it is necessary to use amino acids, which will not only help pelargonium cope with stress, but also stimulate the development of new shoots.
In this case, experienced gardeners use the drug Eltacin, which can be purchased at a pharmacy.
1 tablet of the medicine should be crushed and dissolved in a liter of warm, settled water, after which the resulting solution should be used for spraying.
By the way, this same product can be used for other indoor plants, as well as seedlings.
