Geranium grows in almost every home and several specimens at once. The plant is the most unpretentious and with minimal care can bloom all year round.

It happens that geranium starts to feel down, and then its leaves turn yellow, dry up and fall off. You can find a lot of advice on the Internet for this case.

Let each gardener choose their own way of caring for the plant, but this advice can definitely save you from mistakes.

Fans of organic farming usually prepare a decoction of onion peels, sprinkle the soil with used coffee or add other potions and fertilizers based on household waste.

What does geranium need?

If the leaves of the geranium start to turn yellow, you need to pay attention to which part of the plant this process began.
