cranesbill

Water the Cranesbill 'Blushing Turtle' at regular intervals, especially during hot and dry weather. Water when the top inch of soil has dried out. Depending on the conditions it may need water every few days or only once a week. Make sure to water at the root zone, avoiding the foliage. Water deeply but try not to saturate the soil.

Cranesbill (Geranium 'Blushing Turtle') is a sun loving plant species that does best when exposed to at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight every day. The best time to give it sunlight is during the morning or during the late afternoon, but never during the heat of the day. Too much midday sunlight can cause the leaves to become sunburned and the plant to dry out. If you are unable to provide 4-6 hours of sunlight daily for this plant species, it can tolerate some shade but be sure to water it more frequently.

The pruning of cranesbill (Geranium 'Blushing Turtle') should be relatively minimal. At the end of the blooming season the spent flowers should be pinched off to promote a second round of blooms. Pruning can be done in early spring to remove any dead, wilted, or damaged foliage, but should be kept to a minimum. To maintain a neat and compact appearance the plant may be lightly shaped if needed.
