Use room-temperature water and store it in a watering can overnight if using tap water.
Rainwater stored in a covered container is ideal for geraniums.
Clean your watering can regularly to prevent algae or residue buildup.
Variations:
Add a layer of mulch to garden soil around geraniums to retain moisture and reduce watering frequency.
For hanging geraniums, tilt the pots slightly while watering to avoid leaf wetting.
Use self-watering containers if you're away often—they keep the soil consistently moist without overwatering.
FAQ:
Why are my geranium leaves turning yellow?
This is often a sign of overwatering. Make sure the soil is dry before the next watering and that your pot has proper drainage.
Can I mist my geraniums to increase humidity?
No. Geraniums prefer dry air and do not benefit from misting. In fact, moisture on the leaves can cause disease.
How do I revive a drooping geranium?
First, check if the soil is too dry or too wet. Adjust your watering schedule accordingly and trim off any wilted leaves or flowers to redirect energy to healthy growth.
