Basic rules for caring for pelargonium:

• Lighting. Pelargonium loves the sun, so the best place for it is a south window. In summer, you can take the plant out to the balcony or garden.
• Temperature. In summer, pelargonium tolerates any temperature, and in winter. it is desirable that the room be about +15°C.

• Watering. In summer, pelargonium should be watered abundantly as the soil dries up. In winter, watering is almost stopped.
• Fertilizing. Pelargonium should be fertilized every two weeks from late March to mid-November with liquid fertilizers. You can buy pelargonium fertilizer in the store or prepare it yourself.
• Pruning. Pelargonium should be pruned in the fall, leaving a stem with 6-7 leaves. Remove shoots that grow not from the root but from the leaf axils. If the plant has grown again over the winter, it can be pruned again in late February or early March, leaving only a few buds on the stem.

The common reasons are:

• Not enough light. Pelargoniums need bright lighting.
• Too low a temperature. The room where the pelargonium is kept should be at least +15°C.
• Too fertile soil. Moderately fertile soil is suitable for pelargoniums.
• Too spacious a pot. Pelargonium blooms better in a tight pot.
• Untimely pruning. Pruning pelargonium stimulates its flowering.
• Irregular fertilization. Pelargonium needs regular fertilization, especially during the flowering period.
