🌼 Why Geraniums Stop Blooming
Before we dive into the trick, it’s important to understand why geraniums might not bloom as expected:
- Lack of sunlight
- Overwatering or poor drainage
- Incorrect pruning
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Dead flowers left on the plant
Once these common issues are addressed, you’re ready to apply the trick that will make all the difference.
🌟 The Secret Trick: The “Flower Factory” Formula
To stimulate profuse blooming, you need to combine pruning, proper feeding, and sunlight. Here’s the step-by-step strategy:
🧤 Step 1: Prune Smartly and Regularly
Geraniums must be pruned to promote new flower growth.
- Pinch or cut back long, leggy stems to encourage bushy growth.
- Remove any yellow or dead leaves, as well as spent blooms (deadheading). This redirects energy toward producing new flowers.
- For overgrown plants, a more severe pruning in early spring or late fall helps rejuvenate them.
☀️ Step 2: Give Them All the Sun They Crave
Geraniums are sun-loving plants. The more sunlight, the more blooms.
- Place your geraniums where they can get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- If growing indoors, position them near a south-facing window or use a grow light.
