How to Grow Pelargoniums in Your Garden
1. HOW TO GROW
Pelargoniums in Your
Garden
GREENLIGHT-LANDSCAPE-GARDENING.CO.UK
LIGHT REQUIREMENTS
Most types of Pelargonium tend
to thrive quite well in full sun, but
some zonal cultivars may also
tolerate shade.
WATERING
Keep new plants dry until they
establish, but then water them in
containers during the growing season
from spring to summer without
allowing the compost to get soggy.
SOIL CONDITIONS
The most popular varieties aren’t
too fussy, so that they can be grown
in almost any kind of soil, be it
neutral or alkaline.
FERTILISERS
Once the new growth starts, you
should give the plants a fortnightly
feed of balanced liquid fertiliser
throughout the springtime.
PRUNING
Pelargonium plants must be dead-
headed regularly during the
flowering season to maintain and
promote bloom.
