How to Grow Geraniums from Seeds for Early Blooms🍃🌸 sowing geranium / pelargonium seeds

[@kathymoss832]

I'm trying geraniums for the first time this year, so thanks for the great instructions! I love the seed-starting kits, too, and plan on ordering some. ❤

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

You are welcome! Thank you for watching! I love those kits.

[@RawLondonGardener]

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

Just wondering when do I up pot them as iam going on holidays for 3 weeks so better do it before I go ,I planted mine Jan 27 iam in Vancouver also what temperature do you keep your growing room at and do you keep the grow lite on them once there potted up

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

If your seedlings have the second set of leaves (true leaves) then they are ready to be pot up. After I pot them, I had them in my dining room which only gets indirect light for about 2 days and then I place them under grow lights. Once they get bigger, you can put them by a window

[@valjalava1951]

Great video I just planted my yesterday but I have them in a heat mat in a shed outside that gets about 45 degrees is that to cold iam waiting for my grown light to come

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

Thank you! .They need at least 65 degrees to germinate but I think your heat mat should help in the meantime

I have been trying to find the double flower Ivy geranium seeds. Do you have any recommendations where I can buy. Thank u

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

Try American Seed store

[@brendaalabaugh4799]

Do you use any fertilizer, what kind, how much, and how often? Thanks!

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

I sprinkle Osmocote on my potting mix when I transplant the seedlings to 4 inch containers.

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

[@gracieshomeandgardens5089]

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

I love that one. I grew it last year and it's overwintering right now. Yes, they are. I usually buy mine from Swallowtail Seeds and bought them for 3.99 in June, I think they are 4.29 now.

@@HostaandLilyGarden i bought mine feom william dam seeds ita local from my area.its like 10min away from me.not sure why ita sooo expensive

[@Back_in_the_saddle]

I have mine now a little bigger than yours now , from the garden centre and unsure what to do next.. keep them inside or pot outdoors. In the uk x

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

How is your weather? I usually keep them inside for winter and take them outside during the summer

[@Back_in_the_saddle]

@@HostaandLilyGarden it’s 8.c at the moment and around 12 at warmest. I’m in uk down by London. Iv got her on the window in the kitchen at the moment. Has around 5 leaves and unsure what to do with her next.

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

Oh I see. I think you could just keep it inside now. Maybe pot it into a new container and when it's warmer you could take it outside? Geraniums look so pretty in containers.

[@Back_in_the_saddle]

@@HostaandLilyGarden thank you so such for the advice. It will be staying in xx

[@Higginsangel]

Are you supposed to pinch them when little?

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

No

[@61kburgess]

Where do you buy your Maverick Geranium seeds from as well?

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

I bought them from Swallowtail Seeds. They have different varieties of geraniums
