Growing Conditions for Geraniums

    Planting Location

    Soil Requirements

    Watering and Mulching

    • Drench geraniums each time you water, but allow the first two inches of soil to dry before watering again. Apply a 1- to 2-inch layer of mulch around plants to keep the soil moist. Never leave potted geraniums sitting in a wet saucer.

    Fertilizing

    • Geraniums require feeding to avoid stunted, yellow leaves. Fertilize at planting with a dry 10-20-10 fertilizer and again every four to six weeks during the growing season with a water-soluble liquid food. The University of Rhode Island website recommends a 20-20-20 or 15-30-15 liquid fertilizer.

    Pruning

    • Pinch off spent flowers and yellow foliage to promote healthy, bushy plants.
