Geraniums problems...?

I planted white cut geraniums and the leaves are turning yellow and the buds only partially bloom; what has bloomed gets a small amount of brown on the flower. Am I watering too much, not enough or what? Also, the leaves have a tendency to turn in at various times.

If you are referring to "zonal geraniums" like the ones in this link: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/im...





Then here is what you need to do. They do not like wet feet and like sun to part shade. Allow the plant to dry in between waterings so it doesn't begin to rot. If it's in a container, that is about every 3-4 days or so depending on where you live.





Also, if you added fertilizer when you planted, it could be suffering from that too. It's always good to fertilize about 4-6 weeks after planting. The reason? Some growers use a timed release fertilizer and it could still be active when you bring your plant home, if you add fertilizer then it would be too much. If you didn't add any and it's been 4-6 weeks since you planted, now is the right time to add fertilizer.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
Reply:Also, Take plenty of cuttings from You plant. I now have six plants from the one I bought. They root very easily. Take a cutting about six inches, remove all but say two or three leafs,including any flower buds. Within a week you'll get roots and new growth. Just make sure to use a good potting mix!
