How to raise geraniums in the summer
Because the weather is relatively hot, the temperature is very high, sometimes thirty or forty degrees, and the light is also very strong, a little carelessness will lead to geranium leaf drop, leaf loss, yellow leaves or rotten roots.
Because geranium is a plant that is suitable for cold, it is a flowering plant that likes to be cold, and it is difficult to tolerate that kind of hot weather.
It is found in some hot areas in summer, if the temperature reaches more than 30 degrees, especially potted geraniums, it will not be able to tolerate the high temperature, which will lead to leaf loss.
If you want it to not lose its leaves and rot its roots in the summer, you should put it in a cooler shade during hot times.
It can also be placed under the eaves, or under the north windowsill balcony, where there is no sunlight, and where there is no rain.
Control the watering well, the potting soil should not be too wet, and you can also put it in an air-conditioned room, and open the window regularly for ventilation, which can help it survive the hot summer.
When the temperature is cooler in autumn, it can be moved back to its original place for maintenance, and when it is cooler in autumn, it will grow new leaves and new buds again.
If during the flowering period of geraniums, it still does not bloom, and the leaves are many and the branches are luxuriant, but the buds do not bloom and cannot bloom, then it is likely to be caused by insufficient light.
Therefore, it should be placed in a sunny place, not basking in the sun in summer, and basking in the sun in other seasons, followed by supplementing some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium, so that it will not only grow leaves and not bloom.
In addition, if geraniums are potted plants, they should be raised in well-drained sandy soil, or with non-compacted garden soil and granular pond mud, which are very good.
Spring is the peak growth period for geraniums, so pay attention to watering.
If it is raised outdoors, the potting soil dries quickly, watering once a day or two, and do not water the potting soil if it is not dry.
Fertilization is applied every half a month, and the fertilizer can be diluted after mixing with water, and watered on the soil in the pot, and the fertilization can be stopped when the temperature reaches 28 degrees in summer.
Then it is just to let it spend the summer quietly, and in autumn, it is a good man, and it will then germinate new branches, sprout new buds, and bloom like flower balls, you can really enjoy the flowers continuously, quite comfortable.
