Geraniums can endure up to 30 degrees Celsius but dislike cold weather. During winter, protect them with frost covers or insulating materials to prevent damage from freezing temperatures.
The Key to Vibrant Blooms: Proper Watering Techniques
Watering plays a crucial role in the health of geraniums. They need consistent moisture to bloom profusely, especially in hot conditions where watering two to three times daily might be necessary—early morning, mid-afternoon, and after sunset are ideal times.
During colder months, reduce watering but ensure the soil remains slightly moist. Use soft water, as hard water can affect flowering. A simple trick is to let tap water sit overnight with some mud in the bottom of the container to adjust the pH, making it more suitable for the plants.
