FAQ about Pelargonium – Red

What kind of soil suits pelargoniums best?
Pelargoniums grow best in well-drained potting compost with a good structure. Mix in a little perlite or grit for better drainage. Avoid compost that stays wet or compacted, as this causes root rot.
How often should pelargoniums be watered?
Water when the surface of the compost feels dry, usually two or three times a week in normal weather. In hot summer weather pots may need watering every day. Pelargoniums cope with slight dryness far better than with overwatering.
When and how should pelargoniums be pruned?
Keep pinching off faded flowers to encourage new ones, and remove yellow or damaged leaves. The main pruning is done in late winter or early spring, when the plant is cut back by about a half to two-thirds for a bushy, free-flowering plant.
Which pests and diseases can affect pelargoniums?
Common problems are whitefly, aphids, red spider mite, rust and grey mould in high humidity. Ensure good air circulation, avoid watering the leaves and do not crowd the plants.
How do I overwinter pelargoniums?
Bring pelargoniums indoors before the first frost and keep them in a bright, cool place at about 8-15°C, such as a frost-free greenhouse or a cool windowsill. Water sparingly over winter and do not feed until spring. Many gardeners also take cuttings in late summer as a safe way to keep their favourites.
