As winter sets in, geraniums often show signs of decline—leaves may become paler, start to fall, and flowering may cease. Fortunately, simple measures can help restore your geranium’s health and vibrant blooms.
Effective Natural Fertilizers:
Instead of using a variety of complex fertilizers, two straightforward organic mixtures can yield impressive results with minimal effort.
Glycine-Based Fertilizer:
- Warm Water: 1 liter
- Milk: 1 teaspoon
- Natural Honey: 1 teaspoon
- Glycine: 2 tablets
This fertilizer is rich in essential nutrients and amino acids that support active plant growth. Glycine enhances the absorption of nutrients from milk and honey. Apply this fertilizer once every two weeks during the winter to boost your geranium’s vitality.
B Vitamin Fertilizer:
- Warm Water: 1 liter
- Milk: 1 tablespoon
- B Vitamins: 1 tablet
B vitamins are crucial for plant health as they aid in root development, chlorophyll production, and immune system strengthening. Use this mixture to water your geraniums at the base once every two weeks.
Application Tips:
In winter, it’s important to reduce the amount of fertilizer used. While you might apply about 200 ml of fertilizer per plant during warmer months, reduce this amount to 100 ml in winter to prevent over-fertilization.
By following these simple yet effective methods, you can help your geraniums maintain their health and achieve lush, vibrant flowering even during the colder months.
