How to keep geraniums full of flowers
Geraniums can bloom continuously for months if they’re watered properly and given the right growing conditions.
- Water deeply but not too often. Water until it drains from the bottom of the pot or thoroughly moistens the soil, then allow the top 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of soil to dry before watering again.
- Avoid overwatering. Constantly soggy soil can lead to root rot and fewer flowers.
- Water at the base of the plant. Try not to wet the leaves or flowers, as this can encourage fungal diseases.
- Water in the morning. This gives plants time to absorb moisture before the heat of the day and allows any splashed foliage to dry.
For even more blooms:
- Place geraniums where they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
- Remove spent flowers (deadhead regularly) to encourage new blooms.
- Feed with a balanced or bloom-boosting fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during the growing season.
- Use well-draining potting soil and containers with drainage holes.
There isn’t a special or secret watering technique that guarantees constant flowering. Consistent watering, plenty of sunlight, proper drainage, and regular deadheading are the practices that keep geraniums healthy and blooming.
