Here’s a planting and care guide for Seed Geraniums in Packs (2 plants per pack):
Planting
- Choose the Right Location: Select a spot that receives 4–6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Geraniums thrive in full sun, which promotes vibrant flowers and strong growth.
- Prepare the Soil: Geraniums prefer well-draining soil. If planting in containers, use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. In garden beds, amend the soil with compost to improve drainage and fertility.
- Spacing: For 2 plants per pack, space the plants 8–12 inches apart to allow room for growth and air circulation. If planting in rows, give each pack enough space to allow for a bushy, full appearance.
- Planting Depth: When planting, make sure the root ball of the geranium is level with the surrounding soil. If planting in pots, ensure the plant is at the correct depth to avoid root rot.
Watering
- Water Regularly: Geraniums like their soil to be kept moist but not soggy. Water them deeply, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Be cautious not to overwater, as this can cause root rot.
- Adjust for Conditions: During hot weather or when growing in containers, your geraniums may need more frequent watering. In cooler months, reduce watering as their growth slows.
Fertilizing
- Feed Monthly: Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) every 4–6 weeks during the growing season. This will support healthy growth and abundant flowering.
- Avoid Over-Fertilizing: Too much fertilizer can cause excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms. Stick to a balanced feed to maintain the plant’s shape and encourage blooming.
Pruning and Deadheading
- Deadheading: To encourage continuous flowering, remove spent flowers regularly. Cut them back at the base of the bloom, and the plant will direct energy toward new growth.
- Pruning: If the plants become leggy or overgrown, trim them back to maintain a compact shape. This will help your geraniums remain bushy and full throughout the growing season.
Pests and Diseases
- Common Pests: Watch for aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil to treat any infestations.
- Disease Prevention: Keep an eye out for powdery mildew, especially in humid conditions. To prevent this, ensure good air circulation and avoid watering overhead.
Winter Care
- Protect from Frost: Geraniums are not frost-hardy. Bring them indoors or protect them with frost cloths if you live in an area with cold winters.
- Indoor Care: If growing indoors during the winter, place your geraniums near a bright window. Reduce watering and allow the plants to rest during the cooler months. Geraniums may go dormant but will bloom again once temperatures warm up.
