Soil choice
The geranium soil can choose to have 4 humorificers, 3 local soils (or peatders), 2 parts of River (or Pearl Rock), organic fertilizer L-mixed cultivation, can also use fine sand, humming soil, and Pearl Rock plus Organic fertilizer mixing. Geraniums require that the soil is relatively breathable, and the basin can be made each of the fall, or the soil is timely.
Fertilization method
When the geranium is in the growth period, every 10 to 15 days, and the spring, the spring, the autumn is two seasons, and the liquid fertilizer is applied every 7 ~ 10 days; the current bud is dominated by nitrogen, it is known as phosphorus Potassium fertilizer is main, the concentration is preferably 0.1% to 0.2%. Winter is placed in indoor maintenance, high temperature, basically will not stop growing, and it can be fertilized. In the summer, the plants are in a semi-sleep state, should stop fertilization. It is best to fertilize in the evening, watering the next morning.
Watering method
Geranium watering should be appropriate, Ning does not dry. Spring and Autumn Growth season should meet sufficient moisture, so that the potting soil often keeps moist, but can’t strengthen water; cloudy or rain, generally do not water, do not fertilize. It can make the plants receive rainwater, but avoid excessive rain water. Otherwise it is easy to cause root rot.
In winter, according to the temperature of the room, try to water with temperature, so as to avoid the water temperature is too low, causing the plant stems and leaves. (Detailed watering skills, see how geranium watering)
Temperature requirements
Geranium is warm, avoid high temperature, afraid of cold. The geranium is suitable for the temperature of 15 to 25 ° C, and the temperature of 10 ° C should be maintained in the winter room, which is susceptible to cold or less, but some varieties can resist 0 ° C. In the summer, when the temperature exceeds 35 ° C, it enters the semi-sleep state. Try to keep ventilation and avoid environmental sultry, which is not conducive to sleep.
Illumination requirements
Geranium is not afraid of glare, but it needs to be blocked in the summer. The geranium in the sun grows strong, the leaves are green, the doses are short, and the shape is beautiful. When the family breeding, the autumn and winter spring should be placed in a place in direct sunlight. When flowering, it can be moved to indoors, properly accept light, but avoid direct light, so as not to cause petals.
Precautions
Geranium has different varieties, and the height of the plants is different. The family planting should be a small plant, in addition to this, there is also a need for a growth agent. When the plant length is 12 cm or 15 cm, spray the stimulus, once a week, 2 consecutive times. It is guaranteed 14 to 18 hours a day, which effectively controls the height of geranium and provides high quality potted flowers.
Geranium watering should be taken particularly, say more, can cause plant death, high temperature and high humidity, the roots are easy to rot. Of course, the flowering time can also be controlled, and the flora is generally from 4 to June, but the temperature is properly improved during the winter, from September to June until June, in the fall, it can always flow.
