Soil, fertilizer and water management techniques for geraniums: When geranium seedlings reach 12 to 15 cm in height, pinch off the growing tips to encourage side branches. During the high temperatures of midsummer, strictly control watering; otherwise, if the potting soil of a semi-dormant geranium is too wet, the leaves often turn yellow and drop off. During the stem and leaf growth period, fertilize once every half month, but do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer. If the stems and leaves grow too vigorously, stop fertilizing and appropriately remove some leaves, which helps flowering. During the flower bud formation period, apply an additional phosphorus fertilizer once every 2 weeks. Or use "Huiyou" 15-15-30 special fertilizer for potted flowers. In order to control the height of the excavated plant and achieve

In order to control plant height and achieve the goal of large flowers and bright colors, in addition to choosing dwarf geranium varieties, the application of growth regulators is very important. Two weeks after geraniums are planted in 12 cm or 15 cm pots, spray the leaves with 0.15% chlormequat or daminozide once a week for 2 sprays, with 14 to 18 hours of light per day; this can effectively control the height of geraniums and provide high-quality commercial potted flowers.
