Why you should pick off geranium leaves: the secret to lush flowering
Each geranium leaf has its own lifespan.
The lower leaves eventually die off and dry out.
If they have partially or completely turned yellow, you can simply break them off, since they last quite a long time on their own.
Plants need to be inspected several times so that they do not waste energy on such leaves.
It is important to remember that the older the flower, the more old leaves it has that can be removed.
At the same time, they can retain their natural color longer if the pot is not in bright sunlight.
But what to do if all the leaves turn yellow?
This happens if the plant "burns" under direct sunlight, as well as in situations where the soil has not been moistened for a long time. Naturally, it is better to cut off the leaves, but you should not get rid of them all in one procedure, this can become stressful for the geranium.
It is also worth adding that experienced gardeners remove leaves from geraniums 3-4 times per season.
