What better plant than geraniums<\/strong> to decorate balconies<\/strong> or terraces<\/strong> in the warm months?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This plant is famous for its beautiful<\/strong> and colorful <\/strong>flowers<\/strong> that usually bloom inMay<\/strong>, although some varieties bloom even earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, well cared for, geraniums<\/strong> continue to bloom throughout spring<\/strong> and summer<\/strong>, filling our balconies<\/strong> with color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But are there any secrets<\/strong> to having beautiful, ever-blooming <\/strong><\/strong>geraniums<\/strong>? Absolutely yes! Here are a few!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning<\/strong>: if you have any questions, contact your trusted florist or gardener immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wash with beer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A surefire secret to making geraniums<\/strong> bloom is to use beer<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, this drink contains yeasts<\/strong> that stimulate the flowering<\/strong> of the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it’s important not to overdo it. You simply have to pour half a glass<\/strong> of beer<\/strong> into a liter of water<\/strong> and mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, use the mixture as irrigation water<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An alternative<\/strong> ? You can put a teaspoon<\/strong> of brewer’s yeast<\/strong> in 5 liters of water<\/strong> – the result will be extraordinary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, you can also run the beer over the geranium<\/strong> leaves <\/strong>with a cotton ball<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will make them brighter<\/strong> and protect them from parasite<\/strong> attacks .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add sand to the soil.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Geraniums grow very well in universal <\/strong>potting<\/strong> soil .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there’s a way to make them grow even better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix 3 parts universal potting soil<\/strong> with one part peat moss<\/strong> and one part sand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peat is<\/strong> used to compact the soil<\/strong>, preventing watering<\/strong> from weighing it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sand, on <\/strong>the other hand, helps prevent water stagnation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prevent water stagnation<\/strong>, you can also put gravel<\/strong> in the bottom of the vase<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the water “heat up.”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A mistake that is often made in summer is to take tap water or <\/strong>denatured water stored at home and water the geraniums<\/strong> directly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, the temperature difference between water and soil can be so great that it causes thermal shock<\/strong> to the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret? Leave the watering can in the sun for 20\/30 minutes<\/strong> before watering<\/strong> your geraniums<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove Dried Flowers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Geraniums<\/strong> tend to bloom repeatedly during the warm months<\/strong>. However, it is important to remove the dried<\/strong> flowers to make room for the new flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each week, take a reconnaissance tour of your balcony<\/strong> or terrace<\/strong>. When you find dried geraniums <\/strong><\/strong>, peel them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, you should also remove the now yellow leaves<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abundant sunshine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you keep your geraniums<\/strong> in partial shade, they will never bloom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store them in a very bright<\/strong> place<\/strong>. Geraniums also tolerate a few hours of direct light<\/strong> a day (without exaggeration, though).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunlight is an indispensable element to ensure new<\/strong> and continuous blooms<\/strong> for this plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shelter from the Wind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although geraniums<\/strong> are very hardy, they do not tolerate excessive wind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, even in summer, the wind<\/strong> is strong enough to shake the branches of geraniums (especially climbing<\/strong> ones ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, wind stress <\/strong>can damage the plant and prevent it from flowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, never expose your geraniums<\/strong> to excessive wind<\/strong>. If there are sudden summer storms, place the vase in a sheltered location or cover it with a nylon sheet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banana trick!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you still missing something to give color<\/strong> to your geraniums ? Try banana peels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These, in fact, contain high amounts of potassium<\/strong> that stimulate new blooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using them is very simple: cut them into small rectangular<\/strong> pieces <\/strong>and spread them on the ground<\/strong>. Over time, geraniums will absorb the potassium contained in the peels and produce new flowers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
