Growth Habits of Geraniums

Geraniums prefer warm winters and cool summers. Indoors in winter, maintain a daily temperature of10-15°C, with nighttime temperatures above8°C, and they can bloom normally. However, the optimum temperature is15-20℃。

Geraniums prefer dry conditions and dislike dampness. In winter, do not water too much; water only when the soil is dry, and let it dry between waterings. Soil that is too wet is unfavorable for the sprouting and opening of flower stems; long-term excessive moisture will cause the plant to grow leggy, the flower stems to shift upward, and the leaves to gradually turn yellow and drop off.

Geraniums need plenty of sunlight during their growing period, so in winter they must be placed in a sunny spot. With insufficient light, the stems and leaves grow leggy, the flower stalks become thin and soft, and the inflorescences develop poorly; with insufficient sunlight, flower buds often fail to open properly and wither prematurely.

Geraniums do not like heavy fertilizing; too much fertilizer will make geraniums grow excessively and hinder flowering.
