cranesbill

Cranesbill (Geranium oxonianum 'Claridge Druce') should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. This plant prefers consistentwatering to ensure healthy growth. Water the plant when the top inch of soil is dry, and provide a generous amount of water until it starts to drain from the drainage holes. During the growing season in spring and summer, it may require more frequent watering. In winter, the plant should be watered less often, as it is dormant. If grown in a pot, check the soil weekly for water and adjust the frequency of watering accordingly.

Cranesbill (Geranium oxonianum 'Claridge Druce') should receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight a day for optimal growth. This plant species should be protected from afternoon sun, which can be quite intense in the summer months, as it may lead to scorching and discoloration of the foliage. This sun-loving plant is best planted in sunny spots with shade in the afternoon. In the late spring, the plant should be kept in an area that gets more sunlight, as the growth slows down in the winter months and more sunlight will help it get going again. Full sun exposure is recommended in the morning, with partial shade in the afternoon. With proper care, Cranesbill (Geranium oxonianum 'Claridge Druce') will thrive in the sun for optimal growth.

Cranesbill (Geranium oxonianum 'Claridge Druce') should be pruned in late winter, just before the new growth begins in spring. Start by removing any dead, diseased, or damaged stems or foliage. Cut back any long, straggly stems to the desired size that complements the shape of the plant. Be sure to leave some foliage intact, as this will encourage more new growth in the following season. Prune out any overly thick foliage to encourage more air circulation. Remove any flower stalks as they finish blooming for the season. This will ensure that energy is not being spent on new flower production and instead goes towards producing new healthy green foliage.
