Ivy-leafed Geranium Care

Watering ivy leaf geranium must be constant. Moderate soil moisture levels, not too much and not too little, is necessary to prevent edema, which causes ruptured plant cells, manifesting in corky blemishes on a underside of leaves. This weakens a plant, making it susceptible to pests and other diseases.

By removing overgrown foliage, you will improve airflow to the plant, and light will be better able to penetrate all portions of the plant. This actually leads to a fuller and healthier-looking houseplant.

Universal fertilizer is a granular and mineral product intended for the fertilization of all types of garden cultivations. Its balanced content is suitable both for fruit trees, fruit bushes, vegetables, and ornamental plants. The even composition of individual elements makes the fertilizer universal.

12-14 hours of indirect sunlight.

Loose, light, humus soil is ideal for this plant.

As a South African native, ivy geranium plants like moderate temperatures in the summer. A heat wave will not kill the plants, but flowering will slow or stop during the dog days of summer. You will know if the temperatures are unhealthily hot for ivy geraniums, as the new leaves may look pale or even white in response to the heat.

Whether it be plastic or clay, make sure the pot you select has drainage holes in the bottom to prevent over-watering.

Keep the swaying stems of ivy geranium away from nibbling pets. Ingestion of the plant can cause vomiting. Plant juices may also cause a rash.
