Geranium Question?

Hi all, i just bought some geranium plants, and im wondering what do i need to do with them to keep them healthy? How much water do they need and all that?

Geranium Question?
Geranoums are pretty easy to keep, although if you keep them watered they'll grow better. More sun means more flowers. You didn't mention what kind they are, and there are some variances in watering etc between the kinds.

Reply:Water new geranium thoroughly when first planted in a very sunny position with good drainage. Water once a month if weather very hot. Once the plants have grown new branches, just gently break off a couple and plant in peat or good earth and they will take and grow into new plants.
Reply:also remember after the blooms fade deadhead them by going down the stem where the bloom is - follow it down to where it comes off the stalk and snap the old stem and bloom off. This will make it bloom better
Reply:Geraniums don't need all that much water. in-fact they like to be a bit dry. if they are too wet, they get molds and fungus and rot... So, Water when thoroughly dry, and Do fertilize them at least weekly and put them in a full sun area.
Reply:I dont do nothing speical with mine, just keep them watered and i do remove old blooms
