How to care for geraniums after pruning
Pruning itself cannot cause the death of pelargonium.
However, you need to understand that a pruned plant requires completely different care.
So, many gardeners, after pruning geraniums, begin to water them generously.
This is a serious mistake that can result in the death of the pelargonium.
After pruning, geraniums should be watered very carefully, as the soil dries out.
Failure to follow this rule may result in rotting of the plant roots.
Secondly, after pruning, under no circumstances should you place the pot with geranium deep in the room.
Pelargonium should be placed on a sunny windowsill, otherwise the shoots will grow weak.
After the first leaves appear, you can spray with a solution of calcium nitrate (grams of fertilizer per liter of water).
