A solution that will help geraniums bloom beautifully all year round. How to feed and when to feed

By Lesia

Geranium is found in almost every home, as it is a beautiful but not capricious plant. It will bloom abundantly if you water and feed it regularly.

Sometimes the leaves of the geranium turn yellow. This can be due to either a lack of moisture or excess water.

Geranium is found in almost every home, as it is a beautiful but not capricious plant. It will bloom abundantly if you water and feed it regularly.
Plant response to a lack of nutrients:
Growth slows down and the leaves turn yellow, wilt and die. Due to a lack of nitrogen, geraniums stop flowering.
Potassium deficiency manifests itself as follows: the leaves become spotted, the veins turn yellow, and the lower leaves fall off. The flower itself remains.


The plant needs iron if the leaves become discolored.
Yellow areas between the veins and rotten young shoots indicate a lack of magnesium.
A small amount of molybdenum inhibits the growth of leaves and makes them turn yellow.
The problem of potassium and phosphorus deficiency is often encountered. It is best to fertilize the flower at the root. In late spring this operation should be carried out every 14 days.
If the geranium blooms in summer and does not turn yellow, it does not need additional nutrients.
The autumn plant should be replanted and fertilizer added. Diseased geraniums should first be treated and then fed.
In winter, it is enough to water the flower.

What to feed?
Liquid fertilizer, in granules or in the form of a crystalline concentrate, is suitable for fertilizing geraniums. 1 g of fertilizer is dissolved in 1 liter of water. Before fertilizing, the flower pot is moistened and fertilizer is applied to the root.
For one liter of water take one gram of yeast and 30 g of sugar. Mix the solution, leave for an hour, then add 5,000 ml of water. Fertilize twice in the spring.
Take one drop of iodine per liter of water. First loosen the soil in the pot, add water and then the solution. Repeat the procedure every 20 days.


Take 25 ml of hydrogen peroxide per liter of water. This solution can be used all year round.
For 2 liters of water, take 1 ml of vitamin B. Water the geranium with this mixture every two weeks from June to September.
For 2 liters of water, take 50 g of onion peel. The fertilizer must be cold before fertilizing.
