Nowadays, growing indoor plants is an extremely popular hobby, which is why some gardeners' homes can be confused with a botanical garden.

True, as the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh rightly notes, if the “green pets” get sick or stop blooming, this causes great disappointment to their owners.

Today we will tell you about a folk method that will help solve the problem with the flowering of such a popular plant among home greenhouse owners as geranium.

How to Stimulate Geraniums to Bloom

Instead of using fertilizers or growth stimulants, prepare the most common safety pin.

Before trying out the life hack on a flower, the working tool, that is, the pin, should be treated with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide.

After that, you can pierce the geranium stem with it – you need to do this not once, but 2-3 times. As a result, one geranium that has stopped growing can get about 10-12 punctures.

Due to damage to the trunk, the plant will experience stress, which will result in its desire to produce offspring, that is, to release flowers - the first of which may appear in a week.

That’s when it’s worth using a universal fertilizer for flowering plants – to, so to speak, consolidate the result.
