It should be done only when flowering ends, preferably January &#8211; March. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This procedure will awaken the buds on the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jemchyjinka.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1643717427_45140d72d4918996e98a2a530e3013ac-500x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41122\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is best to sprinkle the resulting cuts with cinnamon so that they heal faster. During the period when the geranium has not started to produce new shoots, you should reduce watering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As soon as the plant begins to grow, it can be fed with any complex fertilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jemchyjinka.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1643717428_59faf2e2df6e870a5943537f7e08b878-500x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41123\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To propagate geranium, you can use cuttings that should be about 6-7 cm long. The extra leaves at the bottom should be removed, leaving only 2-3 leaves at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The lower cut is similarly treated with cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jemchyjinka.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1643717429_a85715a91e57446b99965167e7699a17-500x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41124\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the cuttings should be planted in good and loose soil with vermiculite, where they will root perfectly. For better growth, you can add Kornevin or a diluted pharmacy solution of succinic acid to the hole. We plant and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jemchyjinka.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1643717430_f3fe246d10fdba95de23f7b180808f8e-500x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41125\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cuttings need to be put in a bag and aired periodically. In this form, the cuttings will take root in 2-3 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jemchyjinka.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1643717431_dd4c5f463ad0cccb711ba2a9572d2d7b-500x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41126\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After pruning the geranium, the following procedures should be carried out. After the buds awaken, the plant needs to be fed with nitrogen fertilizer so that it can grow its greenery much faster. To do this, take a pharmacy solution of ammonia, which we dilute in water (1 teaspoon of the preparation in 1 liter of water).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jemchyjinka.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1643717432_5e74276d5b08b06ef54b8bb889ad936d-500x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41127\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2nd feeding should be done with succinic acid, it will strengthen the plant, stimulate its growth and protect it from pests (2 tablets of 100 mg per 1 liter of water) and spray the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jemchyjinka.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1643717432_10826e9f9a7d379d3a023f6106a9612d-500x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41128\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These procedures are enough for the geranium to renew and recover. Thus, with the help of proper pruning, rooting of cuttings and fertilizing, you can renew and revive a lifeless geranium and turn it into a beautiful, lush bush again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share on Facebook<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geranium is a beautiful and popular plant that can often be seen in the homes of many gardeners.
