🌸 How to Water Geraniums for Continuous Blooms
💧 1. Water deeply, not frequently
- Give a thorough soak until water drains out the bottom
- Then wait until the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry before watering again
- This encourages strong roots and more flowers
☀️ 2. Adjust for weather
- Hot weather: water every 1–2 days (especially in pots)
- Cooler weather: every 3–5 days
- Always check soil—don’t follow a strict schedule
🚫 3. Avoid overwatering
- Soggy soil = root rot + fewer blooms
- Make sure pots have good drainage
🌿 4. Water the soil, not the leaves
- Wet leaves can lead to disease
- Pour water directly at the base
✂️ 5. Bonus tip for more flowers
- Regularly remove faded blooms (deadheading)
- This redirects energy into new flowers
🧠 The Key Idea:
Geraniums prefer a “soak and dry” cycle—not constant moisture.
