Cultivation Tips

To ensure the successful growth of your Apple Scented Geranium, follow these helpful cultivation tips:

Light and Temperature

Place your geranium in a location that receives bright, indirect sunlight for at least 5-6 hours a day. The Apple Scented Geranium prefers a moderate indoor temperature ranging from 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C).

Watering and Humidity

Avoid overwatering the Apple Scented Geranium as it prefers slightly dry soil between waterings. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Keep the humidity levels moderate, avoiding excessively humid conditions.

Soil and Fertilizer

Use well-draining potting soil that is rich in organic matter to ensure optimal growth. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer once every two weeks during the growing season to promote healthy foliage and vibrant blooms.

Pruning

To maintain a bushy and compact form, regularly pinch back the tips of the geranium. This encourages branching and promotes a fuller appearance.

Pests and Diseases

The Apple Scented Geranium is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, keep an eye out for common garden pests such as aphids or spider mites. Should an infestation occur, treat it promptly with appropriate organic pest control methods.
