I'm the worst gardener like, ever. Geraniums are my absolute fave ever. Consistent bloomers, so easy, so tolerant of our dull British climate. Outside, window sill, all year round. Love em.

Fantastic! Thanks for watching.

My "crazy plant lady" of an older daughter keeps telling me to clean up my geraniums! SO NOW I KNOW WHY! She never told me WHY! I promise I will follow this kind gentleman's instructions! THANK YOU!!!

I love geraniums. They were my moms favorite and she is gone now and I have grown to love them more.

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

[@daisytwotoes]

About four years ago I was given a geranium that was a little smaller than the ones in this vid. I didn't hold out much hope for the poor little thing because I am notoriously bad with plants. But I lucked into giving it the proper care, and it must be a particularly hardy one 'cause it's still going strong and in the summers it's covered with glorious bright salmon pink pompoms. It hangs outside my front door and my spirits lift every time I go in or out. Yay geraniums!

[@catherineshaw4937]

Take it inside in the Fall and winter it over in a window. Keep it watered and cut it back if you like and then take it back out in the spring.

[@daisytwotoes]

@@catherineshaw4937 That's exactly what I do!

[@Lioness_UTV]

I absolutely adore geraniums. From the flowers to the unique smell and they have to be one of the most forgiving of plants too.

[@barbaraf6226]

Thank you so much for this info. I have always thought they couldn't take a lot of heat. I knew to deadhead the leaves and spent flowers but did not know about keeping old dead leaves off the soil and not to over water. We have been having a lot of rain lately and my plants are sitting in water. I'm off to the deck to rescue them right now!

[@PEGASUSleadmare]

There are some super high bred geraniums available. Take time to find some different flower shapes and colors. I have peach, coral, white, yellow, ruby. Mine last for years and are huge and live inside by a south east window. I water once a week and only fertilize in the summer month. They bloom year round. I repot into a larger pot (2 inches larger than current) about every other year. I do move the pots outside during the summer months here in Iowa.

[@wyndiefeatherstone948]

Excellent video and very informative! I appreciate the close up pictures as well so we can see exactly what you are talking about, that truly makes a difference. When I retired I began growing plants and have gone through so many of them, but the plant I came back to, was the one my mother and grandmother grew so beautifully, the geranium. It stumped me for years that I could not propagate it, but this year I did get 15 new plants from propagation. Now I can enjoy them all over my property. Do remember what he said about clean up, because they will need that as they grow as well.

[@mandalyn8006]

I'm Australian too, don't live in the tropics but my mum had a new house, no garden and had some aunties coming to visit so she stuck geranium cuttings everywhere and they all grew! We have hot weather and Geraniums are always great,

So glad I saw this. My pot of geraniums, after two years looking great, is looking stressed. I know there is dead leafy material on the soil, and the flowers seem to be reaching out and away from the rest of the plant with longer stems. Hope I can save it. I really enjoy it. Thanks again. 😊

When I was a kid I was used to huge geraniums being used as shrubbery in California. I never liked them because of I picked a flower and smelled the leaves, they stank. Now we live in AZ and they are constantly one of the most cost effective, heat tolerant & beautiful flowers we grow. I've probably had 15 varieties. Just brought home two vining types. Love them.

I live in Victoria, Australia and grew up in the country. I'm 70 now so my memories go way back. There were always geraniums growing unkempt and wild in the sprawling backyards.

The best resource for your plants is going to be a good quality soil. That will make all the difference when it gets scorching hot and soil is the delivery system for the moisture and nutrients. Watch our soil video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3K2q5qemp6arpIfeature=shared

In California we are having brutal summers where the sun burns everything, so I planted a geranium under the shade of my front yard tree where it gets light but not hit directly by the sun. For the past two years the plant has been huge but I just noticed the leaves and flowers are gone leaving a lot of very healthy looking stems. Do you think this is due to lack of direct sunlight? My other thoughts are overwatering or lack of fertilizer. I am stumped! Especially since there are 4 other geraniums under the tree growing like crazy!

Hi again. I have a question. I love geraniums. I plant them every year. My problem is that after the first set of flowers fades, I pinch them off. Yet the second set of blossoms never grow back as tall as the original set. I plant them in 2 long concrete flower boxes in the front of our house, facing SW. Lots of sun. I feed them once a month. Yet they always grow back shorter than the first set. 🤷🏻🙄. Any suggestions would be most welcome. I'm in New Jersey, USA.

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Feed more often, once a week is minimum. They aren't getting enough nutrients.

[@carlaphoenix8965]

😮😯😲😳🤯 !!!!! Holy guacamole !!!! Seriously!?! Plot twist !! I'd been following the instructions that recommended once a month. THANK YOU !!!! I'd almost decided to give up on getting geraniums this year. Thank you for responding so quickly and with solid advice. 😃👩🏻‍🌾

Great video! I have a bank of fabulous Ivy Geraniums ( planted about 8 years ago) and they look great- but I’m always concerned about fertilizing so not to burn the roots. Should I always water deeply the day before ( like I do with my other plants) and then apply fertilizer, or can I fertilize at the same I water ( which is only occasionally)?

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

When fertilizing it is just like you are watering, except it has feed in the water.

I have potted geraniums that I keep in the window over winter and move them outside in the summer. I have to be careful to move the plants inside when there will be frost. What I don't know is at what low temperatures are bad for the plant.

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Most bring in before frost. But like petunias they can handle pretty cold before dying off.

[@debrahickman731]

How do you handle the flower when a couple of the bloom is dead? Do you have to take off the whole bloom off at the main stem. Can you just pull off the little part that is dead? Debbie😊

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

If the whole bloom isn't spent, then you can just pull off the dead petals to get a little more life out of the bloom. If the whole bloom is done, then go ahead and take off the bloom and stem making sure to snap it off all the way down to where it connects to the main stem.

[@dlawbyaaj]
