Geraniums are among the most popular balcony plants. To ensure that they thrive, follow our tips for caring for geraniums.
One of the most popular balcony and window flowers is the geranium. These non-hardy flowers are placed outside from March and then usually bloom into October before returning to their winter quarters.
Tips for caring for geraniums
- In the cold months, the geraniums lose their leaves and are stored in a cool, bright place.
- When spring comes around again, the geraniums should be pruned. The reason: this rejuvenates the plant and can get bigger and more beautiful flowers.
- Your task must now be to cut off the shoots of the plants to such an extent that two to a maximum of four eyes remain. These are the bases of the leaves, i.e. the buds, which you can already see very well here.
- There are also more and more hobby gardeners who are putting geraniums in the bed. Of course you can do that too, but you shouldn't forget to bring the plants inside in good time. A first frost can damage them.
