    About four years ago I was given a geranium that was a little smaller than the ones in this vid. I didn't hold out much hope for the poor little thing because I am notoriously bad with plants. But I lucked into giving it the proper care, and it must be a particularly hardy one 'cause it's still going strong and in the summers it's covered with glorious bright salmon pink pompoms. It hangs outside my front door and my spirits lift every time I go in or out. Yay geraniums!

    Geranium originates from Africa so dry poorer soil no water splash on leaves and blooms very high heat and cleaning the mess is all what they need.I'm Mediterranean and we literally grow them like weeds just picture in your mind our glorious balconies! I moved to UK started growing em and faced the greatest gardening battle ever all these clouds drizzles rain humidity and lack of direct sunshine 😢 😆 I'm advanced gardener I've grown em even in the Middle East easy but here in England is absolutely exhausting!

    I just recently left my job as a paralegal and opened a backyard nursery down here in rockport, Texas. I purchased several annual varieties from proven winners in the plug stage and have been stressing out about my watering. I never realized how much work goes into growing product. I already made the mistake of potting the plugs with amended miracle grow :( and I didn't do a fungicide drench. I'm running on Jesus and a prayer.

Now we live in AZ and they are constantly one of the most cost effective, heat tolerant & beautiful flowers we grow. I've probably had 15 varieties. Just brought home two vining types. Love them.

    I live in Victoria, Australia and grew up in the country. I'm 70 now so my memories go way back. There were always geraniums growing unkempt and wild in the sprawling backyards. We called them dunny plants because they grew near most backyard toilets. I hated them. Now I have many of them as I realised how beautiful they are when cared for properly and given some TLC. GREAT VIDEO!! THANKYOU.

    There are some super high bred geraniums available. Take time to find some different flower shapes and colors. I have peach, coral, white, yellow, ruby. Mine last for years and are huge and live inside by a south east window. I water once a week and only fertilize in the summer month. They bloom year round. I repot into a larger pot (2 inches larger than current) about every other year. I do move the pots outside during the summer months here in Iowa.

    I love geraniums and have had good luck at the beginning of growing a new potted plant but I’ve either over or under watered and dropped dead leaves and spent blooms in the pit ‼️ In other words I did everything you said NOT to do 😢 so THIS year I should do So much better ‼️💚🪴🍀Thank You Scott‼️‼️‼️💕💕💕💕

    Great video! I have a bank of fabulous Ivy Geraniums ( planted about 8 years ago) and they look great- but I’m always concerned about fertilizing so not to burn the roots. Should I always water deeply the day before ( like I do with my other plants) and then apply fertilizer, or can I fertilize at the same I water ( which is only occasionally)?

    This is my first year growing geraniums from seeds. Mine are about the size you showed. I’m in a warmer climate so I moved mine outside already. We just had rain and have rain in the forecast every day for the next 7 days. Should I bring them in to avoid damp feet for so many days? I have a grow rack they can go on. I may or may not have had 100% germination on 40 seeds. 😊 l’ll be gifting many to friends. Thank you!
