Growing and Caring for Pelargonium (Scented Geranium)
Although Pelargonium (Scented Geranium) is relatively easy to grow, it thrives under specific conditions. Here are some essential tips for successfully growing and caring for your scented geraniums:
Light and Temperature
Pelargoniums prefer bright, indirect sunlight. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much may cause leaf burn. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 55°F and 75°F (12°C - 24°C).
Watering
Adequate watering is crucial for the health of your Scented Geraniums. Water the plants when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
Soil and Fertilizer
Ensure your Pelargoniums are planted in well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Fertilize them monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.
Pruning
Regular pruning helps maintain the shape and size of your Pelargonium plants. Pinch back the stems to encourage bushier growth and remove any spent flowers to encourage new blooms.
