Do you want to have beautiful, healthy and rich flowering geraniums in the spring? Then you have to give them peace, care and protection from their enemies…
Mušcaty acts as quite indomitable ornamental plants that can handle everything. But beware, the appearances are deceiving! Many varieties of nutmegs are not frost -resistant, so they need proper asylum for winter. “The best for them is a bright and cooler place in your home. Plants are most suited to a temperature around 12°C,“Says an experienced grower, saying that if you have a darker apartment, you can subsidize light by artificial lighting.

Dressing carefully
Another requirement of the hibernating nutmeg is the watering “Mušcaty in rest mode does not need an enormous amount of water. Just watering once a week, ”says the expert, and continues:“ If you exaggerate it with irrigation, you can cause roots to rot, which is a very common problem in winter. As a warning sign for you can be yellowing or even a mushy root system. If you are afraid that your hand will run your hand, use a sprayer! Drainage is also a certain prevention. ”
Beware of buds
Be sure not to fertilize the geraniums! The flower should have peace of mind for regeneration, so that the next season grows beautifully and blooms. “The fertilizer would unnecessarily stress it and stress it to grow,” warns the expert, recommends that the flowers are immediately chopped so that the nutmegs do not unnecessarily detract from strength.
Mold goes hand in hand with moisture
During winter sleep, you should also check your geraniums for mold. “You can easily recognize it by black spots on the leaves. If there are smaller quantities, cut the affected parts and spray the plant with a copper content. For example, Kuprikol is good, ”advises the expert.
But it is much better to prevent such situations by early prevention. It consists of the area itself for wintering nuts. It should be a place with more air circulation, where the humidity that is the trigger of the mold does not catch.
With sick plants away!
If mold is a larger problem, there is nothing else to do but get rid of the infested nutmegs. But beware, do not put them on compost! Be careful even in the case of soil, which is also contaminated and certainly does not belong to the flower bed that can infect!
Musice et al.
Unfortunately, even in winter you have no peace in terms of pests. Therefore, for hibernating nuts, keep the leaves to see if there are no websails or aphids. These small pests do not have a break in winter, so it is necessary to count on them. If you find that you have a “aphid family” on the plant, use a chemical product, such as Mospilan 20 SP or Karate Zeon. In the case of these “small vampires”, the sooner the better! It is literally growing at the speed of light …
