Add a thin layer of mulch around the base of outdoor geraniums to retain moisture in hot climates.

For potted plants, consider using self-watering containers to avoid drying out while away.

Mix a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide in 1 liter of water once a month to help aerate the soil and prevent root rot.

âť“ Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I know if I’m overwatering?
A: Yellowing leaves, mushy stems, and a musty smell from the soil are classic signs.

Q: Can I use tap water?
A: If your tap water is high in chlorine or minerals, let it sit out for 24 hours before use, or opt for rainwater.

Q: Should I mist my geraniums?
A: No. They prefer dry air and do not need misting—this can encourage fungal issues.
