Growing flowers has already become part of many people's lives. For many people, growing flowers is also a lifestyle habit. Keeping some flowers, plants, and green potted plants at home can not only decorate the home, but also make it warmer and full of vitality. Moreover, growing some flowers and plants can also purify the air in the room, which is very good for the health of family members.
As more and more flowers are grown, many people discover and summarize some small tips for growing flowers. Just like Stone's neighbor Grandpa Zhang, he likes growing flowers very much and is also an expert at it. He keeps the flowers at home in perfect order, and every pot of flowers grows very robustly and energetically. Last year he bought a pot of geranium at the flower market. After a year of care, it has now become 10 pots of geranium, and it has bloomed with beautiful flowers. Today I will share with everyone the care methods and propagation methods for geranium, so the theme of this sharing is:

Growth habits of geranium
Geranium is a foliage and flowering plant with a very long flowering period. It generally blooms from summer every year and continues until winter. The entire plant has lush green leaves, and the flowers it produces are also very bright and fragrant. When growing geranium, pay attention to growing it in soil that is permeable, breathable, and fertile, and place it on a balcony with scattered light. This helps the plant grow quickly. Every year when the summer flowering period is about to arrive, it needs to be supplemented with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can effectively promote flower bud development. Its flowers generally stay open for about 15 days. After the flowers fade, they need to be pruned in time, and then phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be supplemented again. This can effectively promote the development of new flower buds and let it bloom again. Repeating this cycle, geranium is basically in a flowering state every year throughout summer, autumn, and early winter.
Stick the branches into the soil, and in 1 month they grow into 10 pots of geranium
The propagation methods of geranium are generally seed propagation and cutting propagation. Generally, cutting propagation maintains the plant's traits and is not prone to genetic mutation, and cutting propagation grows quickly and has high propagation efficiency.
1. Generally, in spring and autumn, you can cut an 8 cm long branch from the top of the geranium, trim off all its lower leaves, leaving 3-4 leaves at the top, then soak the branch in a carbendazim aqueous solution for ten minutes, take it out and let it dry.
2. Prepare individual plastic cups, then put sandy soil into each plastic cup, insert the trimmed geranium into the soil for normal care, and generally after about seven days you will see the geranium branches take root.
3. Then after two weeks, the well-grown geranium seedlings can be planted into flower pots for normal care.
Notes:
If you want geranium to bloom with beautiful flowers, first give it sufficient nutrients. In spring, supplement it with compound fertilizer, and then before the flowering period supplement it each time with a 0.2%2 potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution to effectively promote flower bud development. Then place the potted plant on a balcony with good lighting and ventilation, which helps the plant grow quickly and bloom with bright flowers.
