Growing geraniums

Question

What is wrong with my geraniums? Everyday I pull off tons of dead leaves! They don't need watering because I water just about everyday!

Patty · Answer

you may be giving them to much water. They like to go dry before watering them again

are they getting enough sun?

Eugenia Read · Answer

A moisture meter (available at most hardware stores, WalMart) will help you solve any over/under watering issues. Are they getting too much sun? What type of soil are they in?

Robin McGlinchey · Answer

Try feeding them. They don't normally need much, but I find my hanging geraniums need a little boost around now to perk them back up.

Sandy Burrell · Answer

Well you didn't say if they are in a pot or in the ground. If they're in the ground you're definitely watering too much. and probably even if they are in a pot. Pick up the pot before watering, and note the weight, if it's light or heavy. then water accordingly to bring pot back to a heavy weight. Some days geraniums might not need water. Also geraniums are heavy feeders and require fertilizer often if they are potted.Once a week is best. but if you haven't fertilized at all at least try that twice a week according to package instructions. If they're in the ground they will find their own nutrients most of the time.
