watering
The cranesbill (Geranium 'Blue Cloud') should be watered deeply but infrequently - about once a week during summer months and every 2 weeks during the winter months. When watering, wet the soil thoroughly so that excess water drains away. Discard any water left in the bottom tray after 30 minutes. Make sure there is no excess moisture present in the top soil, as this can cause the roots to rot. If the temperature is particularly high or windy, you may need to water more frequently.
sunlight
Cranesbill (Geranium 'Blue Cloud') should receive plenty of sunlight throughout the day. It does best in bright, direct sunlight for at least 4-6 hours per day. It can also tolerate some shade, but needs enough light to keep the foliage and flowers from spoiling. For optimal blooming and growth, it is best to plant this species in a spot that receives morning sunlight and afternoon shade.
pruning
For optimal health and vigor, Cranesbill (Geranium 'Blue Cloud') should be pruned in the early spring, shortly after the last frost. Depending on the desired size, shape, or bloom production, it may also need to be pruned lightly throughout the growing season. When pruning this species, it's important to remove any dead, dying, or damaged stems back to the crown and thin out the stems by 1 third, allowing the air to circulate in the center of the plant. This will also help the plant to produce more full blooms. In addition, any spent flower stalks should be removed to ensure that Cranesbill produces flowers all season long.
