How can I maximize the number of blooms on my geraniums?

Pinch growing tips in early growth stages to force side branches.Geraniums in pots bloom best when somewhat pot bound.Plant in full sun in any good garden soil. Keep soil on dry side in bed, in pots water every second day. Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage new blooms.

Hi,


All good great practices given so far, and if I may suggest fertilizing with a fertilizer with a high "P" (phosphorus) level, at least 30 to 55.


Water solubles provide quickest results.


Hope this helps, and have fun!

Reply:Keep all the dead blooms cut off as well as dead leaves, make sure soil is fairly loose, and moist but not wet, chipped leaves and sand mixed in the dirt as well as compost makes for a good healthy hardy plant. They do require light, but not constant
