- Geraniums lose their vitality at the end of summer, but there are home remedies to extend their flowering.
- Instead of buying expensive fertilizers, prepare a conditioner from apple cuticles, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
- Discover how to easily and cheaply make your geraniums bloom abundantly until late autumn!
You can divide into several groups: discount, large -flowered or flowers with fragrant leaves. Although geraniums come from North Africa, they find themselves in Polish conditions. They are easy to care for and bloom beautifully – only a few conditions need to be met. The most popular balcony flowers love the sun and bright, warm positions. If the lights are not enough, geraniums bloom less, while the sharp sun can lead to yellowing and even the drying of the leaves. In order for geraniums to bloom long and abundantly, you need to systematically remove faded flowers. This will stimulate the plant to produce new buds. Geraniums like abundant watering. To make them bloom beautifully, you have to do it regularly, and in the heat twice a day – in the morning and evening. However, too high humidity will hurt the plant. Therefore, excess water must have an outlet so that the roots do not rotate. If the flowers on the terrace or balcony are directly exposed to rain, which falls for several days, it is worth considering temporarily transferring plants to a more sheltered place. To strengthen flowers and mobilize them to flowering, you can also make apple cuticles fertilizer.
Homemade geranium conditioner. Water the flowers in August and will bloom until late autumn
To strengthen the flowers and mobilize them to flowering, you can make apple peel fertilizer. Peelings are a valuable source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, i.e. ingredients necessary for flowering plants. Such a conditioner is easy to do. People with two apples and half a liter of water are enough. Put the skin in a jar, pour it, lightly cover and set aside in shaded places for 3-4 days. After this time, strain the fertilizer. Throw the peels, dilute the conditioner with water in a 1: 1 ratio. We water the soil around geraniums once a week with such a mixture. Another much simpler way is to prepare a potato conditioner. You will need one medium -sized potato, it must be mixed together with two liters of water. Then pour the liquid through the sieve and water it with geraniums. We apply such conditioner to plants every two weeks.
