How to make geraniums flower in winter

[@rosemarythyme6351]

After John mixes garden soil with sand, he says, "We'll add an egg in a minute." Love his sense of humor!

[@sunitashastry5270]

I love overwintering geraniums and they are one of the few things that do flower all winter. Now I know what I was doing right!

[@lornarabadon7194]

Thanks..for sharing thos skills about plants. I love it.. 💯👌💖🌹

Last winter I decided to chance leaving all my geraniums in their pots in a shed with not much light. On taking them out they were in a sorry state, looekd dreadful and I though that I had lost them. I tidied them up and looked after them outside and now every single one is wonderful! I can hardly believe the amount of leaves and buds. I grew up admiring my grandmothers pélargoniums in her porch with lots of dried tea leaves around their stems and wished one day to have some Inside too. I am about to move to a new house that I have not yet seen because of confinement so I hope that there are places to put some 'pelargoniums'! thank you for your advice John ,xoo hugs from France

[@TheFiown]

I ended up moving as I said and some friends looked after my geraniums for a couple of very hot months. When I eventually got them back they were in a terrible state of neglect. I cleaned them up, checked the soil, put them in a light filled courtyard, watered every day, fed them and now they are all covered in blooms and happy again. I believe that plants know when they are being cared for by people who have their best interests at heart. I recently bought two rose bushes, well stumps really from a heat damaged garden center ( we had some terrible heatwaves), I paid a few euros each. On getting them home I potted them up in large pots ( rose bed not ready ) gave them some chicken poop, tidied up the damage and watered them each day and now they are covered in buds ! Incredible. I DID have a heart to heart talk with them and told them hos they almost died and now they owed me survival. It worked!

[@uwemeder4161]

Thank you so much for sharing your skills! We like to have them inside too. They are so great to have.

[@kimberlyhughes4515]

I love that you're so animated! Thank you for this tip! I just brought in all my potted geraniums for the winter ( Ohio, U.S. it's going down to lie 30sF tonight) so I appreciate this video!

[@GardensAtMouseCastle]

I so appreciate your videos. This was the first one I watched 2 years ago and have had great success with geraniums ever since! Thank you so much!

[@paddyhughes3598]

[@noumine]

[@marieradatsz4126]

Thank you for sharing this I have watched it hopefully to save my favourite geranium xx

[@peacelily720]

It's always fun to watch. I just brought in geraniums a week ago due to freezing weather starts.

[@sidekick9719]

Thanks for the watering tip

[@DragonflyArtz1]

I like your style! That was fun. Thank you.

[@ggthegardengirl]

Thanks for this informative video , I found it very helpful 👍

[@nanamarie9945]

I love your style of gardening, so haphazard I know I can do it LOL

[@carolinemumzie3199]

I could watch you all day only found this Chanel today and I’m obsessed with your wonderful accent you sound just like my Dad love from London

[@kalayne6713]

John, you couldn't be boring if you tried! So glad I found you, your enthusiasm and energy is infectious, perhaps not the correct term to use during a pandemic but like many the world over, lockdown has had some silver linings especially in the old fashioned 'arts' of gardening, cooking,craft and creativity. While my heart goes out to those seriously affected by covid 19, and the hard working medical professionals, I am grateful for people like you who show that anyone can garden. Thank you, please keep making your fun vlogs from beautiful Ireland. From Kaye in Australia.

[@bernadettesullivan29]

What a lovely heartwarming thoughtful comment 🌸💁🏻☘️

[@stevendempsey9658]

Cheers mun, excellent video. That’s really helpful.

[@ezavarei]

Excellent video. Thanks.

[@anitaswart.]

Thanks for the Geranium video, so glad you use some soil in the mixture. Very good point that you water it well and let it dry out, think that is the mistake I make. Hope to have some Geranium in the house at Christmas.

[@themagnet54]

Love the content and your humourous delivery...so informative and engaging! Makes me feel confident I can do this!!! Takes the stress off doing something new! Ta!!

[@mn4169]

You garden like med and it works!

[@janetcorey5102]

Great soil lesson! My Geraniums will be doing better🌷

[@nancybennett9265]

Would you consider making a video about propagating geraniums? I try every year and they just don't take. Thank you.

[@neverlostforwords]

Nancy, I would like to see a video on that topic too. :)

[@helenmcbride]

Same here :)

[@jimjimgl3]

That geranium probably woke up that morning thinking "Well, probably another uneventful day...."

[@coll0310]

Hi John. I have a giant geranium in the house that just won’t flower. Followed you guidance Any other suggestions? Thank you.

[@corl1136]

I had some geranuiums at the front of my house, south facing throughout the winter and they flowered all winter.

[@dwightstjohn6927]

would you care to note your location??? may I assume it's NOT where I might be at 3,000 feet?

[@godness7770]

Thank you for sharing! Where I live it will snow in the winter. I already have my Gerania in the ground. Di you suggests fir me to dig unit up for the winter?

[@barit924]

Pelargoniums won’t survive a hard frost.

[@Needs098]

I love your Pink Geraniums I like to buy this.i been looking at Bunning .

[@passion777able]

What you didn't mention was sunlight. - I bought an beautiful little African violet last summer. I kept it on a northern exposure window where it gets plenty of light but not the burning heat of the sun. I watered it only once a week until the water drained to the bowl. If the water had not been sucked up again by evening, I would throw out the water and let it get dry. I never gave it any plant food. Then suddenly this March, buds began to form. And by the end of April it had an enormous bouquet of big flowers. I was amazed. It's June 24 now and it still has 5 flowers! The trick was an unobstructed source of light. I have kept the little flower pot on top of a small box, in front of my window, 5 inches from the window on a corner of my dresser. It's the ONLY spot I have near a window. I have discovered it was 12 hours of sunlight. I suspect these geraniums need the same thing. Your green house has massive amount of light without the burning sunlight. I wonder how many houses have these advantages. Much to consider.

[@Elizabeth-yg2mg]

like your style!

[@shellyidwttw8680]

vey useful thank you very much

[@anglosaxonbreed]

This is my type of Gardner. No fanny just straight in. Now I see if his method works for me.

[@shantelransonet8215]

Good morning..your video was informing to me. I've never grown Geranuims before now.im seeing a bud looking thing come out of the flower ball cluster. It's light green color seed on a stem looking thing. the seed pod comes to a long point. Can you explain ?

[@gail7275]

You're adorable !!!

[@georgcorfu]

1.02 They are the easiest to grow. In Greece they grow huge and even if you forget to water them, they will still thrive

[@zareegoraya1528]

I am in Toronto with severe winters, how low a temperature can it take inside and what about heated air blowing . How to over winter them . Thank you.

[@redolentkate]

♥

[@jacq3956]

Are you making an Apple Crumble John ? 😂. Love your videos.

[@Doris-y5v]

I really enjoyed your advise , thanks my geranium always rot, they are in shade and other in full sun in winter, fertilser, coir , and soil they always rot , in a Terra cotter pot. what is wrong?? no flower no growth . :) no roots ,just rot.

[@DaisyDebs]

🌿🌺🌿

[@mofomoco]

Plant them in Phoenix in winter. That is how they bloom in winter lol. Easy.

[@1Kent]

For anyone who doesn't know terracotta pots suck moisture out of the soil. Soak your pot overnight in water before planting.

[@firstlast1357]

What is bone dry? I mean how deep down should I be checking, all the way to the bottom?

[@calliopec6903]

Actually.. i have all my life called them pelargoniums.. 😊😊 i thought that geraniums are their english version.. 😁 Thank you for sharing!

[@humbertaesquer4364]

Thank you for showing use yr down to eathy so am i 😆

[@Doris-y5v]

What is wrong with mine no flower, no growth, and some die. I fertiliser it , good soil like yours , and water but no improvement your advise is appreciated

[@thecreativegardener176]

Can i feed my geraniums with cow manure ? Pls guide

[@kamauwikeepa7308]

I have had no success, now I know why. I've been drowning them. I used to throw them anywhere in the garden, that's going to end from now on. Thank you so much.

[@Doris-y5v]

what about summer it will go bone dry almost immediately if is in Terra cotter pots.

[@nancypearson5988]

Thankyou .x

[@suzystaines8647]

What do you feed them please?

[@dominiquegrenier925]

I feed mine with horse manure, old

[@joanmacleod1362]

Can they survive in house all winter ?

[@johnlordssecretgarden]

Most certainly, give them plenty of light

[@kristinadansie1825]

Thank you

[@bellyfluff101]

thanks

[@sajidaabdurahman9044]

My geranium is growing many leaves than flower. Why is that

[@johnlordssecretgarden]

Soil too rich.

[@sheilarizzo3776]

Please drop the music!

[@mariabaumgartel766]

I guess no additional fertilizer?

[@juliaholz4281]

If you take cuttings from a geranium year after year does time make it dificult to keep on making plants from that particular geranium. I heard this in a peruvian video that the plant gets old and you haveto get a new plant or start one with seeds. The new plant from an old geranium does not bloom well.

[@johnlordssecretgarden]

Julia Holz. Not really true. A geranium (pelargonium) can be propagated year after year, almost indefinitely, from cuttings.

[@vn5854]

Absolutely not true. As long as the plant is healthy you can take cuttings repeatedly. The primary reason why geraniums fail to bloom, especially indoors is insufficient sun. I dont mean just light I mean SUN! Also, cutting grown geraniums will make much nicer plants indoors than seed grown geraniums.

[@juliaholz4281]

I have them in containers on my terrace in Argentina, full sun.......HOT PLACE at this time of year.

[@juliaholz4281]

Thank you John Lord !!!

[@mikec3820]

its pretty much a bonsai
