How to care for geraniums<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Enough light
    <\/strong>These are plants that like warmth and light. It is advisable to place them in a place facing west or south. They need at least 6 hours of direct sun every day. If they are in the shade, they bloom less.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Airy soil
    <\/strong>It is important to choose an airy substrate. We can choose soil suitable for balcony plants, or create our own substrate. We mix sand, peat and compost.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Watering Water
    <\/strong>geraniums regularly in the morning or evening. During the summer, you can water geraniums every day. The substrate should remain moist. However, it is important to avoid overwatering.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Pinching
    <\/strong>We regularly break off the tops of the shoots, this will encourage branching of the geraniums and the plant will bloom profusely. We pinch the geraniums approximately every 2-3 weeks.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Pest control
    <\/strong>We must regularly check the undersides of the leaves. Geraniums are susceptible to aphids and spider mites. If pests appear, we use a spray. You can use a purchased one or make your own from a soap solution.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Wintering\u00a0
    <\/strong>If we want to preserve our geraniums until the next season, it is important to cut them in the fall, remove them from the box and store them in a place with a temperature of 5-10 degrees. During this period, we water only once a month.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Homemade yeast fertilizer\u00a0<\/strong>
    This is a homemade fertilizer to promote growth and flowering. Take 1 cube of yeast and crush it into 1 liter of lukewarm water. Add sugar to the water and mix. Let the resulting solution sit for 2 hours. Dilute the fertilizer in a ratio of 1:5 and water the geraniums to the roots every 2-3 weeks.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
