You’ll need:
- 1 liter of water
- 1 tablespoon of banana peel liquid (rich in potassium)
- 1 teaspoon of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate)
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda (encourages flowering and reduces fungal risk)
Instructions:
- Mix all ingredients well.
- Water your geraniums with this solution once every two weeks during the growing season (spring to early fall).
💡 Why it works:
- Potassium from banana peels strengthens flowering.
- Magnesium boosts chlorophyll production.
- Baking soda helps create a more alkaline environment, which geraniums love.
🧪 Bonus Tip: Coffee Grounds for Occasional Boost
Sprinkling used coffee grounds around the base of your geraniums once a month adds nitrogen and aerates the soil—both great for foliage and flower support.
🚿 Step 4: Watering the Right Way
Overwatering is one of the main reasons geraniums fail to bloom.
- Water only when the top inch of soil is dry.
- Ensure the pot has good drainage.
- Water in the morning to prevent fungal growth.
🍽 Step 5: Feed Monthly with Balanced Fertilizer
Aside from the homemade bloom booster, you can use a balanced fertilizer (like 10-10-10) once a month to provide complete nutrition.
🌸 Conclusion: Turn Your Geraniums Into Bloom Machines!
By following these simple but powerful steps, you’ll have geraniums that burst with color all season long. Pruning, proper sunlight, strategic feeding, and the right watering schedule will transform your plants into true flower factories.
Say goodbye to sad, flowerless pots—and hello to a vibrant garden full of life and color!
