I. soil

To use loose and good permeability soil, culture soil can be mixed with humus soil, peat soil, perlite and organic fertilizer. In autumn, it's better to turn over a basin.

Temperature

The suitable temperature for the growth of geranium is 15-25 ℃, and the indoor temperature in winter is best controlled at about 10 ℃, not lower than 3 ℃. When it is lower than this temperature, it will suffer from cold damage. Some varieties can accept the low temperature of 0 ℃. The maximum temperature should not exceed 35 ℃. Once it is in a high temperature environment, it will enter a semi dormant state. Let it be in the ventilated environment as far as possible, to avoid the sultry breeding environment.

4. Light

Geranium needs to receive sufficient sunlight, but in summer when the sun is too strong, shade measures should be taken. In other seasons, sunlight can be accepted. If the sunlight is not enough, it will not bloom. When it blooms, direct sunlight should be avoided. It can be moved to the indoor beauty value, and it can be put back to the sunny place after the flowers are withered. Turn the basin as far as possible to make the light on the leaves more even.
