FAQ
Q: How often should I water my geraniums?
A: Geraniums prefer to dry out a bit between waterings. Typically, watering once a week is sufficient, but it depends on the environment and soil. Check the soil’s moisture before watering.
Q: My geraniums have yellow leaves, what could be the issue?
A: Yellowing leaves could indicate overwatering, poor drainage, or a lack of nutrients. Ensure the plant is not sitting in soggy soil and consider using a balanced fertilizer.
Q: Can I water my geraniums with a sprinkler system?
A: Sprinklers can wet the foliage, which can promote fungal diseases. It’s better to water at the base of the plant using a watering can or hose with a gentle spray.
Q: How can I make sure my geraniums get enough sunlight?
A: Geraniums need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive. If grown indoors, place them near a south or west-facing window.
