Care Instructions
Geranium nodosum is relatively easy to care for. It prefers indirect bright light and moderate temperatures. The plant thrives in environments with moderate humidity. Regular watering is essential, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loam soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but thrives best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is suitable for Geranium nodosum. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to promote healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
Repot Geranium nodosum every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its current container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagation
Geranium nodosum can be propagated through division or stem cuttings. The best time to propagate is in the spring or early summer. For division, carefully separate the plant into smaller sections, ensuring each section has roots. For stem cuttings, take a healthy cutting, dip it in rooting hormone, and plant it in moist soil.Pruning
Pruning is beneficial for Geranium nodosum to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Prune the plant after flowering, removing any dead or damaged stems. Regular deadheading of spent flowers will also promote continuous blooming.Toxicity
Geranium nodosum is not toxic to pets or humans. It is considered safe to grow in gardens where pets and children are present.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
