How to Care for the Plant

Water
Because you need to water geraniums thoroughly and deeply, take the time to leave an irrigation furrow around each plant to serve as a watering reservoir. This allows the water to pool and then gently filter down through the soil.
Pruning
Regularly prune by pinching the growing points to encourage branching.
Fertilizer
Geraniums require light fertilization. If you feed them too much, the foliage will flourish at the expense of the blooms.

Sunlight
Indoors, geraniums need lots of light for blooming but will tolerate moderate light conditions.
Soil
The perfect soil for geraniums is a loose soil with plenty of organic matter. If your soil is on the heavy side, incorporate peat, compost or perlite. Manure and vermiculite are not recommended.
Temperature
They also need indoor temps of around 65-70 degrees F. (18-21 C.) during the day and 55 degrees F. (13 C.) at night.
