What better plant than geraniums<\/strong> to decorate balconies<\/strong> or terraces<\/strong> in the warm months?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This plant is famous for its beautiful<\/strong> and colorful <\/strong> flowers<\/strong> that usually bloom in May<\/strong> , although some varieties bloom even earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, well cared for, geraniums<\/strong> continue to bloom throughout spring< a i=4> and the<\/strong>summer<\/strong> , filling our balconies with color.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But are there secrets<\/strong> to have geraniums<\/strong> beautiful and always in <\/strong>flower<\/strong> ? Absolutely! Here are some!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning<\/strong> : if you have any questions, immediately contact your trusted florist or gardener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wash with beer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An infallible secret to make geraniums<\/strong> bloom is to use\u2026 beer< a i=4> !<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, this drink contains yeasts<\/strong> that stimulate flowering<\/strong> of the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is important not to overdo it. Simply pour half a glass<\/strong> of beer<\/strong> into the < a i=5>a liter of water and mix.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then use the mixture as irrigation water<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An alternative<\/strong> ? You can put a teaspoon<\/strong> of yeast<\/strong> of beer in < a i=7>5 liters of water : the result will be extraordinary!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, you can also pass the beer over the geranium leaves <\/strong> with a  cotton<\/strong> .<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way you will make them more shinier<\/strong> and protect them from attacks by parasites<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add sand to the soil.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Geraniums grow very well in soil universal for <\/strong>pots<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is a way to make them grow even better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix 3 parts universal potting soil<\/strong> with one part peat moss< a i=4> and <\/strong>a part of sand<\/strong> .<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The peat<\/strong> serves to compact the soil<\/strong> , avoiding that the waters<\/strong> weigh it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sand, for its  part, helps prevent water stagnation<\/strong>  .<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid water stagnation<\/strong> , you can also put gravel<\/strong> at the bottom of the vase<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the water \u201cwarm up.\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A mistake that is usually made in summer is taking water<\/strong> from the tap or  <\/strong>denatured water<\/strong> kept at home and water the geraniums directly<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, the temperature difference between water and soil can be so great that it causes thermal shock<\/strong> to the plant.< \/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret? Leave the watering can<\/strong> in the sun for 20\/30 minutes<\/strong> before watering your geraniums<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove dried flowers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Geraniums<\/strong> tend to bloom repeatedly during the warm months. However, it is important to remove the <\/strong>dried flowers<\/strong> to make room for the new flowers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every week, take a reconnaissance tour of your balcony<\/strong> or terrace< a i=4> . When you find <\/strong>geraniums <\/strong>dried<\/strong> , peel them.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ideal is also to remove the leaves<\/strong> now yellow<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abundant sunshine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you keep your geraniums<\/strong> in partial shade, they will never bloom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store them in a place<\/strong> very bright<\/strong> . Geraniums also tolerate a few hours of direct light<\/strong> per day (do not overdo it, however).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunlight is an essential element to ensure new<\/strong> and continuous blooms<\/strong>  for this plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

shelter from the wind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although geraniums<\/strong> are very resistant, they do not tolerate wind<\/strong> excessive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, even in summer, the wind<\/strong> is strong enough to shake the branches of the geraniums (especially the  climbers<\/strong> ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, the stress caused by the wind<\/strong> can damage the plant and cause it not to flower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, never expose your geraniums<\/strong> to the wind<\/strong> excessive . If there are sudden summer storms, place the vase in a sheltered place or cover it with a nylon sheet<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banana trick!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you still missing something to give color<\/strong> to your geraniums? Try banana peels<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These, in fact, contain high amounts of potassium<\/strong> that stimulate new blooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using them is very simple: cut them into small pieces <\/strong>rectangular<\/strong> and spread them over the  earth<\/strong> . Over time, the geraniums will absorb the potassium contained in the peels and produce new flowers<\/strong> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
