cranesbill

Cranesbill (Geranium 'Orion') is a drought-tolerant perennial species that doesn't need a lot of water. It is best to water it once a week with about 1 inch of water so that the soil stays damp but never soggy. During the hot summer months when temperatures are above 80° F (27° C), it is best to water twice a week. During the cooler months, water every 10-14 days. Make sure never to overwater it, as this can cause root rot. Make sure to check the soil every few days to make sure that it is properly moist.

Cranesbill (Geranium 'Orion') is a plant species that prefers bright, yet indirect sunlight throughout the day. The ideal amount of light for Cranesbill is 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. It is best to receive the sun during the morning so the plant has time to cool off during the hotter hours of the day. Too much direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, can cause the plant to suffer from sunburn or wilt. If grown indoors, the plant should be placed near a south or east-facing window in order to receive the maximum amount of sunlight.

Cranesbill (Geranium 'Orion') should be pruned annually, usually in late winter or very early spring before new growth begins. Start by cutting the stems back to 2 sets of leaves. This will un-tangle the stems and help to encourage new growth. Make sure to keep a bit of foliage around the bottom of the stem, as this will help to refuel the plant. After the initial pruning, deadhead the flowers throughout the season as needed. Additionally, cut out any dead or damaged branches at the base of the plant each season.
