How to care for geraniums, so pleasing lush color
To grow geraniums you can from seed, but propagation by cuttings is preferable, which is held from mid-February to early March.
At this time already required to produce a crop of geranium. Because geranium light and winter light is low and the plant is pulled, it is not very beautiful.
The geranium needs to be cut exposed shoots on the height that You need (but not quite on the stump, of course), they are the new branches will go.
And each year to update the geraniums, grafting of new cuttings, as they did back in the old days our grandparents.
For reproduction of geranium suitable apical cuttings with a length of about 7 cm with 3-5-Yu leaves.
The cuttings are cut, making a slanting cut below the Bud, cutting the bottom couple of leaves, dried cut and break the leaves for 2-3 hours to cut was delayed by the pellicle, and put immediately into the prepared pots with soil, lightly watered.
To form a lush Bush, terminal Bud primitives. Put in a bright place, but not in the sun!
Many just cut into cuttings and placed in water, a jar of water to put pills of activated charcoal, to avoid rotting.
Roots are formed very quickly. Then they were seated in the pots.
The pot need to take a small. Land geraniums do not need much. The faster the roots will entwine clod, the faster the plant will bloom, and the smaller the pot, the more abundant will be flowering.
In large pots the plant may not bloom, it is not necessary — life is so good, why bother? In one pot, you can even plant a few cuttings.
In the process of rooting the lower leaves can turn yellow — tear off when you see another couple of new leaves.
For the formation of a beautiful, lush Bush top primitives 8-10 sheet side shoots 6-8 and constantly turn the pot, the Bush was smooth.
Geraniums like:
Very good dressing is iotova water: 1 drop of iodine dissolve in 1 liter of water and pour 50 ml of this composition on the walls of the pot. Do not overdo it, the roots do not burn!
After this watering geraniums continuously and gorgeous blooms!
If leaves turn yellow, the reason may be the following:
— if the leaf dries the edges — the reason is the lack of moisture;
— if the leaves are limp or rot in excess moisture.
In both cases the leaves may drop. The exposure of the stem, the lower leaves fall off — the lack of light. Summer geranium loves to live outdoors – take it on the balcony or in the garden, well planted in the ground.
At first, having experienced the stress associated with change of place, geraniums will root, it can turn yellow and fall off the leaves. But then it will delight you with abundant blooms.
On the street geranium is blooming marvellous, and the Bush becomes overgrown like never home.
The sun is sometimes geranium leaves becomes pink color is a normal phenomenon, like "the sun", the plant not better, not worse.
In the fall when cool weather is 10-12 degrees geranium "thing" from such a temperature!
Keep the geraniums in the street before the start of the freeze until the temperature drops to 2-5. Then it will need to be trimmed, transplanted into pots and place in a cool place (10-12 degrees) for winter hibernation or, gradually accustomed to a higher temperature recorded in the room where it will continue flowering.published

Geraniums like:
- the sun (but tolerates light shade);
- warm (but very light frost in autumn will survive);
- not frequent, but plentiful watering;
- good drainage in the pot;
- moderately fertile, even poor soil (otherwise it will be a lot of green, but few flowers);
- regular feeding;
- remove withered blossoms to continue flowering.
