Is the Geranium toxic?
The Geranium is generally safe and not toxic. That said, it's always sensible not to eat the plants.
When does the Geranium flower?
Most Geraniums flower from late spring until the end of summer. With good care and by removing dead flowers regularly, you can extend the flowering period and keep the plant full and colourful.
Caring for the Geranium
The Geranium is easy to look after and thrives in the right conditions:
- Watering: water regularly, but don't let the soil get too wet. Let the top layer dry out a little between waterings.
- Light: Geraniums love plenty of sun for a rich display of flowers, but they will cope with partial shade too.
- Soil: use well-draining soil, ideally lightly nutritious.
- Plant food: during the growing season you can give plant food monthly for extra flowers.
- Pruning and propagating: Pruning helps keep the Geranium compact and full of flowers. Propagating is easy from cuttings in spring or summer. Cut off healthy stems, put them in moist soil and they will root quickly.
What to do about diseases and pests?
Geraniums are generally strong, but they can occasionally suffer from:
- Leaf spot disease: Remove affected leaves to stop it spreading further.
- Mealybug: Can be removed with a cloth or a mild pesticide.
