Ivy Geranium Great Balls of Fire (GBF)

Sunlight: Ivy Geraniums love full sun, so place them in an area where they can get at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight a day. They thrive in bright, sunny spots, which encourages vigorous growth and abundant blooms.

Soil: Use well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil. They prefer light, loamy soil, but they can tolerate slightly sandy or clay soils as long as water doesn’t pool around the roots. Make sure the soil has good drainage to avoid root rot.

Watering: Water your Ivy Geranium regularly but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so be cautious. In the summer, they may need more frequent watering, but always ensure the soil is well-drained.

Temperature: Ivy Geraniums prefer warmer temperatures (65°F–75°F or 18°C–24°C). They’re quite heat-tolerant, but they can’t handle frost, so protect them in colder months if grown outdoors. If you’re growing them indoors, keep them away from cold drafts.

Fertilizing: Feed them with a balanced liquid fertilizer or slow-release granular fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring to late summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, as too much can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

Pruning: Prune regularly to encourage bushy growth and more blooms. Remove spent flowers (deadheading) to prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production. If the plant becomes too leggy, trim back the longer stems to maintain its shape.

Pests and Diseases: Ivy Geraniums are relatively pest-resistant, but they can sometimes attract aphids or spider mites. Regularly inspect the leaves for any signs of pests. They can also suffer from fungal diseases, especially if the soil doesn’t drain well, so avoid over-watering.

Winter Care: If you live in a cooler climate, you can bring Ivy Geraniums indoors for the winter, or treat them as annuals and replace them each year. If left outside, they won’t survive frost, so be sure to bring them inside before the first freeze.
