How to plant & care for Geranium
When the top of the soil of your Geranium feels dry, water the plant deeply. Water at the base, keeping the leaves dry and let the pot drain completely.
Geraniums are able to show off their beautiful flowers best when placed in a location that gets full morning/early afternoon and late afternoon shade.
These geraniums need very little pruning or "dead heading". They will drop their flowers and leaves all on their own and will reproduce all season long.
Using pruners, cut a stem off of the Geranium plant. Remove any foliage from the bottom few inches of the stem and place into a pot with organic rich composted soil.
These geraniums only need a light feeding, every two to four weeks with your favorite fertilizer will keep them vigorous.
