As much as I love them I don't have much luck with them.
Seem's like so many people have these big, lush, beautiful Geraniums
but mine never seem to thrive like that.
This year I thought I'd try again....granted our weather has been
odd with quite a cool spring but anyway I bought this HUGE, gorgeous
red, hanging Geranium and its in 3/4 sun, AM - late afternoon.
I know about proper watering (I think)
with not too much and not too little (I soak it until it drains out the drain hole
then don't water until its feeling on the dryer side but not bone dry)
but alot of the leaves get yellow and they're dying off
at a higher rate than I would think normal. Also the flower clusters develop at different
speeds so I've got a bunch of dead flowers mixed in with some that are still blooming.
I also bought 3 smaller Geraniums this year and put them with some annuals in a large
pot and while their leaves aren't as bad they don't seem to be growing that well.
They we're potted up with Miracle Grow potting soil with the time released fertilizer.
What am I doing wrong? Do they like less sun? Should I feed them more often?
Any tips appreciated. Thanks!
