Geraniums are a low-maintenance plant, so water them only when the soil gets dry. If located in full sun, water the plant more frequently.
Geraniums accept a wide range of exposure conditions. For the best flowering and most vigorous geranium plants, site them in full sun to part shade. If geraniums are grown in hot, full sun, provide regular water.
Unless the soil is very poor, hardy geraniums generally do fine with no feeding other than a yearly application of compost. Poor soils may require a spring feeding with a time-release balanced fertilizer.
Geraniums are not particular about soil pH, but a neutral to slightly acidic soil is ideal. Most prefer medium-moisture, well-drained soil, though some species prefer relatively dry soil.
Grow best in daytime temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit and nighttime temperatures between 50 degrees and 60 degrees.
