Do you love geraniums and want them to bloom all season long? You&#8217;re in the right place ! In this article we give you the secret to enhance the flowering of this flowering plant and obtain leafy geraniums.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleurs-de-geranium.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-372683\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why aren&#8217;t my geraniums blooming?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garden geranium, also called pelargonium, is a perennial flowering plant with evergreen foliage. This herbaceous plant of different colors <strong>blooms from April to October,<\/strong> but this beautiful blooming flower may not bloom due to poor maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your geranium doesn&#8217;t spoil you with its beautiful flowers, this may be due to the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pelargoniums are native to South Africa. A lover of light, it needs <strong>a sunny or semi-shade position. <\/strong>Exposure to light helps geraniums to develop, <strong>but also to produce flower buds<\/strong> that will later give rise to flowers. In short, geraniums need exposure to direct light, about 6 hours a day. Don&#8217;t deprive your flowers of good weather!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bad irrigation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/voici-le-meilleur-moment-pour-arroser-les-plantes-et-ce-nest-pas-le-matin-jardin-et-potager-000016823\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watering is an important step<\/a> for geraniums to bloom. Water is vital for all living things on earth, but you have to be reasonable! If the soil is soggy, <strong>the plant&#8217;s roots can rot. <\/strong>This will make it difficult for the geranium to absorb nutrients from the soil and affect its ability to produce flowers. If, on the other hand, you water your plant too little, <strong>it will become dehydrated<\/strong> and focus its energy more on its survival than on flower production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excess fertilizer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fertilizers are a double-edged sword. They help fertilize plants and promote flowering, but they can also have the opposite effect <strong>if overused.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cold temperatures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pelargonium is a plant that is not very resistant. This cold flower <strong>does not tolerate cold and frost. <\/strong>An incorrect temperature can cause flowering to be delayed or the flowering season to be shortened entirely. So keep your plants warm to watch them bloom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, you can help your plant give beautiful flowers by feeding it natural fertilizers. Brighten up your garden, terrace, or balcony with the bright colors of this popular plant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brewer&#8217;s yeast is a natural product, <strong>rich in minerals and vitamins,<\/strong> which is not only used in cooking. You can use it to feed geraniums and fertilize them. To do this, you can do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dilute 2 teaspoons of brewer&#8217;s yeast in 3 liters of water;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfer liquid fertilizer to a bottle;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the solution to water your geraniums.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You won&#8217;t wait long to see the result. Use this fertilizer in spring and your geraniums will thank you with the appearance of flower buds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the other tricks to get a beautiful geranium bloom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/trucosyconsejosdiarios.com\/wp-content\/themes\/veen\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-372685\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make geraniums bloom and get beautiful plants, you can use the following natural fertilizers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ground coffee to fertilize geraniums<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rich in nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/le-marc-de-cafe-est-un-engrais-naturel-voici-comment-lutiliser-pour-faire-pousser-vos-plantes-plus-rapidement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coffee grounds can be used as a fertilizer<\/a> to help geraniums flourish. Use it in small doses, <strong>and in addition to another nitrogen-rich fertilizer,<\/strong> because the nitrogen content of coffee grounds is not enough for geraniums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vegetable cooking water for geraniums<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never throw away the cooking water from your vegetables! This water is rich in trace elements and minerals, which are very useful for nourishing your plants and fertilizing them. This natural fertilizer is as effective for the plants in your garden as it is for indoor <strong>plants or those you have on your balcony or terrace. <\/strong>Of course, be careful dear readers, your plants do not like this soup if it is hot. Let this cooking water cool first before watering your geraniums with it. <strong>Also make sure it&#8217;s not salty.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Banana peels to feed geraniums<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t know what to do with banana peels? Well, recycle them! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/ne-jetez-plus-la-peau-de-banane-voici-8-utilisations-intelligentes-dans-le-jardin-jardin-et-potager-000013728\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Banana peels are rich in potassium<\/a>, a mineral that is very important for flowering geraniums. It also allows <strong>them to be protected from parasite attacks.<\/strong> To do this, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gather banana peels;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pat dry in the oven;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cut them into small pieces;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spread them out on the ground once every two weeks;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no magic formula! Just take good care of them. Whether you have a green thumb or not, we show you how to successfully hold these flowers. Geraniums will no longer have any secrets for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Successful watering of geraniums.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/trucosyconsejosdiarios.com\/wp-content\/themes\/veen\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-372684\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For geraniums that you grow in the ground, water them regularly <strong>for the first few weeks after planting. <\/strong>For geraniums in pots or planters, water them thoroughly as soon as the soil dries out on the surface, during the flowering period. Be careful, don&#8217;t have too heavy a hand! Geraniums don&#8217;t like excesses. From October, <strong>reduce watering<\/strong> until it stops completely in winter. <strong>Avoid Wetting Geranium Foliage When Watering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Successful geranium care.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To stimulate flower production, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/geranium-quand-et-comment-le-tailler-pour-une-floraison-spectaculaire-jardin-et-potager-000014783\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prune geraniums regularly. <\/a>To do this, cut off any leaves and flowers that have wilted. Proper pruning will also <strong>help keep flowering plants healthy. <\/strong>Also keep in mind that geraniums like the sun. They like full sun or partial shade. They can even withstand high temperatures, <strong>but only if they are well watered.<\/strong> When it&#8217;s cold, protect these cold plants. Store them at a temperature between 5 and 10\u00b0C. Your plants will produce new shoots as soon as they receive heat again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to this ingredient that you can easily find in your kitchen, you will fertilize your geraniums and promote an exuberant and colorful flowering that will not leave anyone indifferent! What are you waiting for to try it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To take cuttings from a geranium, here are the steps to follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose a healthy stem that is 15 cm long with at least 5 leaves and that has not yet bloomed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cut the stem just above a knot with sanitized scissors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove the buds and lower leaves, keeping the upper leaves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the cut soak in water for a few minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fill a pot or bucket with a mixture of soil, peat moss, and river sand or a special cutting soil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plant the stem in the substrate, avoiding breaking it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tamp the soil around the plant and the water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the soil moist with regular watering.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To optimize the chances of a successful cut:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For a cut in summer, take the cut early in the morning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For spring cuttings, place them indoors or in a mini greenhouse until the temperature reaches 19 to 20 \u00b0C. Remove the cap when pimples appear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For cuttings in summer, place them in partial shade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>During the winter, store young cuttings in a frost-protected, dry, and sufficiently ventilated location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In spring, transplant cuttings into the ground or in pots, window boxes, or suspensions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We advise you to make several cuttings instead of just one to have a greater number of geraniums and create diversity of colors and foliage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geraniums are easy-to-care perennials and can be adapted to your garden or grown indoors.
