Check the soil moisture
Insert your finger about 2–3 cm into the soil.
Only water if the top layer feels dry—geraniums dislike soggy roots.
Water deeply but not frequently
Pour water slowly at the base of the plant until it runs out of the drainage holes.
Avoid splashing water on the leaves to prevent fungal problems.
Best time to water
Water early in the morning to give the plant time to absorb moisture before the heat of the day.
Never water in the evening, as moisture left overnight can lead to root rot.
Adjust for weather and location
In hot summer months, potted geraniums may need watering every 2–3 days.
Garden-bed geraniums may require less frequent watering, depending on rainfall.
Optional: Add nutrients every two weeks
Mix a balanced liquid fertilizer into the water every 14 days during the growing season for fuller blooms.
