Geraniums hard to grow and won't bloom? Paying attention to these points is key

Original title: Everyone says geraniums are hard to grow, but that's because you haven't paid attention to these points, which is why they won't bloom!

Summary: There are always some flower growers who, when growing geraniums, run into the problem of them not blooming, and many people are very puzzled why the geraniums they grow won't bloom, while other people's geraniums bloom very full and brilliantly, with every branch covered in flowers. It must be that you haven't paid attention to these points, which is why they won't bloom. In fact, we only need to pay attention to these points, and they will bloom very full and brilliantly.

Soil

In fact, when growing flowers, we just need to pay attention to these few points. If you don't pay attention to them, it easily causes the plants not to bloom. First, let's talk about the first point, which is naturally that you haven't chosen the right soil. Many people know that to grow a pot of flowers, you naturally have to choose a very good soil for it. We should choose the best soil, choosing loose, breathable soil with good drainage for it, and we can make our own potting mix. We can use leaf mold, peat soil, and perlite, then add some organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer. This is very good for the growth of geraniums.

Not enough temperature

If your geranium won't bloom, it may be because the temperature you give it is not enough. The most suitable growing temperature for geraniums is 10 to 25 degrees. If you give it below ten degrees in winter, it is prone to frost damage, and at that point how can it still grow? If the temperature is above 25 degrees in summer, it will enter a dormant period. When giving it enough temperature, we also need to pay attention to its ventilation. Only with good ventilation and plenty of light can it produce many blooms.

Shading

In fact, light is also very important. Geraniums quite like sunlight, and they need plenty of light every day, but in summer we need to pay some attention, because the summer sun is rather strong, so at noon we need to shade them.

Insufficient light

In other seasons we can give them sunlight, but do not let them abruptly receive direct sunlight, as this easily causes their leaves to wither and prevents blooming. If we don't give them enough photosynthesis, it easily leads to them not blooming. When we give them light indoors, we also need to rotate the pot, so that they don't end up tall on one side and short on the other.

Watering is very important

Watering is a very important issue. Only when we do a good job with watering will they bloom a lot, and for watering geraniums, we only need a moderate amount. Spring and autumn are their peak growing seasons, and at this time we need to give them enough water so they can grow faster. If the potting soil is moist, then there is no need to water them, and in autumn there are rather many rainy days, so on cloudy and rainy days we need to pay attention to drainage.

Conclusion: Are you now worrying about your geraniums not blooming? In fact, we don't need to worry. Many people say geraniums are hard to grow, but really it's just that you haven't paid attention to these points, which is why they won't bloom. If you are growing geraniums now, you should pay attention to these points so they will bloom abundantly.
