In summer, geraniums can be transplanted from pots into open ground. In the fresh air, the plant becomes stronger, the leaves acquire a more saturated color, and the flowering becomes more magnificent.
However, for a successful transplant you must follow a few simple rules. In this case, your pelargonium will bloom all summer long, as usual, reports an experienced florist on the channel “Dacha Berries Flowers” (18+).
How to prepare and plant geraniums
If there is a threat of return frosts, do not rush to “evict” the geranium from the house. Wait for persistent warm weather. The ideal time to transplant pelargonium is mid-to-late May.
Place broken bricks, expanded clay or small stones at the bottom of the hole. This will protect the roots from stagnant water and create optimal conditions for plant growth.
It is also recommended to replant pelargonium with a lump of earth from the pot so that the flower can better take root in its new location. In addition, the day before planting, the bush can be treated with the natural preparation HB-101.
How to care for geraniums in a flower bed
Regularly remove faded inflorescences and dried flowers. Fertilize geraniums once a month with complex mineral fertilizers for flowers.
You can also add the drug “Osmocote” to the planting hole. It works throughout the summer and releases nutrients to the plant gradually.
