How to care for geraniums in spring so that the flower pleases with bright greenery and lush flowering: important rules
As experienced gardeners know, geranium, or as it is also called, pelargonium, is a plant that is sensitive to light.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh emphasizes that if there is insufficient lighting, the shoots will stretch out, the leaves will wither, and the plant itself will stretch upward.
For this reason, it is recommended to organize the “movement” of geraniums to open ground in the summer.
But do not forget to prepare the flower for such a turn of events after wintering. For this purpose, pots with the plant should be taken out to a glazed balcony or loggia in the spring.
In addition, in the spring, care for pelargonium should begin with restoring normal, abundant watering.
Other mandatory procedures include fertilizing and pinching.
It is worth noting that geranium's good attitude towards sunlight does not mean that it does not need to be gradually accustomed to its spring effects.
Therefore, make sure that in early spring the bush is in the shade at midday. A signal that you have made a mistake in caring for the pelargonium will be red stripes on the leaves that appear in case of excess direct sunlight.
