In order to breed geranium, we should use the flowerpot with good air permeability, and the drainage of soil should be good. Usually, the watering should be dry and thorough, and attention should be paid to avoid rain in case of continuous rain. Do not apply thick fertilizer to it, but combine with watering to apply thin thin fertilizer water. In high temperature season, proper ventilation is required to avoid root rot. The dead branches and yellow leaves should be cut off in time, and the overwintering temperature should be above 0 ℃.

I. moisture

Geranium like semi-dry soil, can not water, if it is continuous rainfall, it must be placed in a rain proof environment, otherwise it will easily rot. In the maintenance of the time to do dry through pouring, especially in the high temperature season, never more water, it is easy to rot.

II. Basin soil

When planting, we should choose the flowerpot with good air permeability, such as clay basin, tile basin and pottery basin. The soil should be mixed with peat, perlite or sandy soil as much as possible. It should be well drained, which is conducive to its growth.

3. Fertilization

The geranium does not need too much fertilizer during its growth. Its root system is very weak and thin. Usually, when watering, you can add a little thin fertilizer water into the water. You can't water too much, and don't apply thick fertilizer or raw fertilizer, which will cause rotten roots. When applying fertilizer, we should pay attention to the content of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and do not use too much nitrogen.

4. Ventilation

In the summer high temperature season, must put it in the shade, the ventilation environment, otherwise very easy to appear the rotten root, the withered phenomenon.

5. Trim

Yellow leaves may appear in the growth process. As long as the number is small, it is a normal renewal. We can remove it in time. The branches that have flowered should be pruned in time, so that the buds behind can germinate again, making new flowers open and extending the flowering period

6. Temperature

As long as winter is not below 0 ℃, it can survive normally.
