This tonic can be used every 10–14 days for best results. Apply it early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid intense sunlight during absorption.
-
Use 100–150 ml per plant for potted geraniums.
-
Pour the solution directly into the soil around the root zone.
-
Avoid wetting the leaves—focus on nourishing the roots.
If your geranium is extremely weak, begin with a smaller dose to allow the roots to adjust.
What to Expect
Many gardeners report noticeable improvements within a week of applying this solution. Weak or colorless leaves regain their green vibrancy, stems grow stronger, and buds begin to form again.
With continued use every couple of weeks, even severely damaged geraniums often bounce back to full health—producing lush foliage and frequent blooms.
Why It Works
This blend provides a full range of benefits:
-
Nutrient stimulation from castor oil strengthens the roots and encourages blooming.
-
Soil purification from activated charcoal keeps the growing environment clean and healthy.
-
Improved absorption from slightly acidic water ensures minerals are used efficiently by the plant.
It’s a gentle yet powerful treatment that promotes regeneration from the inside out.
Additional Tips for Healthy Geraniums
-
Ensure proper light: Geraniums love bright, indirect sunlight—aim for at least 6 hours a day.
-
Don’t overwater: Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering again.
-
Remove faded flowers and yellow leaves regularly to redirect energy into new growth.
-
Use well-draining soil: A mix with perlite or coarse sand helps prevent root rot.
