Even an unpretentious geranium can make its owner worry - for example, when, for no apparent reason, its leaves begin to turn yellow and fall off.
What to do if you find yourself in a similar situation, was explained by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
But you need to act immediately – if you leave things to chance, by spring you risk having only a bare trunk.
The reason, most likely, lies in the fact that with the onset of cold weather, the microclimate in the apartment (house) changes.
The air in the rooms becomes drier and the humidity level decreases.
Therefore, the first thing you can do if you don’t have a humidifier is to place containers filled with water near the geranium and other indoor plants.
Don't forget about the benefits of ventilation, though with one caveat: you shouldn't leave flower pots in a draft.
A couple more mandatory conditions that are needed to stop unexpected leaf fall: additional lighting and regular watering.
In addition, many gardeners do not stop applying fertilizers even in winter, feeding geraniums once a month with complex fertilizer.
