1、 Soil preparation

Raising Geranium at home is generally potted maintenance, so the soil needs to be prepared. In order to ensure the demand of growth, the soil must meet the conditions of looseness, air permeability and nutrition. If the soil is not suitable, it will lead to difficulty in breathing at the root and affect the normal growth. Peat soil, perlite and humus can be mixed and prepared at home. Disinfection and sterilization shall be carried out after preparation

2、 Proper watering

Geranium has strong drought tolerance and little demand for water. If it is not watered for a period of time, it will not affect the plant, but long-term drought will lead to withered and yellow leaves. Keep the basin soil moist in the peak growth season in spring and autumn. Reduce watering from late autumn to winter and keep it dry

3、 Rational fertilization

Fertilizer needs to be supplemented in time during breeding. During vigorous growth period, fertilizer should be applied every ten days and a half months. Before flowering, a little more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied

4、 Plenty of sunshine

This kind of plant likes light very much. If it is in a cool and dark environment for a long time, it will cause overgrowth and may lead to weak growth. Therefore, it should be kept in a place with good light at ordinary times. The sun is strong at noon in summer, so you need to use a sunscreen net to block out the sun

5、 Precautions

Geraniums like a warm growth environment, which is generally suitable for growing at about 15-25 degrees Celsius. They can't stand the cold in winter, and the temperature should be controlled at least above 5 degrees Celsius
