Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your red geranium live plants is straightforward, ensuring you can enjoy their beautiful blooms with minimal fuss. For optimal growth, these plants thrive in full sun, meaning they need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

When considering red geranium care, proper watering is key. Geraniums prefer consistently moist, but not waterlogged, soil. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage. During hotter months, they may require more frequent watering, while in cooler periods, less is needed.

In colder climates, they can be grown as annuals or brought indoors for the winter as potted plants, making them excellent indoor geranium plants.

Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage continuous blooming. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote new growth and more blossoms. Protect them from extreme heat and provide good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
