How to trim geraniums for lush flowering
Cropping of pelargonium: the basic rules

Perennial pelargonium pruning 2 times a year – spring and fall. Pruning is not only decorates the exterior, it contributes to the emergence of a large number of big buds and increases the duration of flowering.
Be sure to consider particularly the type of plants. Geranium can have a small main stem grow in width low to the ground, can have cascading branches, and can aim upwards because of the high stem. You will not be able to radically change the shape of the crown by trimming. Attempts to do so can result in death of the plant.
The main goal of pruning any plants as Bush and tree is a thinning of the crown. This leads to better ventilation, the ingress of greater amounts of moisture and sunlight.

Hands should also be clean to infection from other plants were in flower. Cut stems need to have the sheet bundle, and the "wound" be sure to put charcoal or sprinkle with cinnamon powder. To resume power plants after operation, don't forget about "feeding". Geranium likes nitrogen fertilizer.

However, if you want to have this stem in the future, let shoots and continued growth, it is necessary to cut above a node. The main stem also need pruning: remove one-third.
