cranesbill

Cranesbill (Geranium wlassovianum) should be watered moderately, about once weekly, depending on the season. During the summer months, when the weather is hot and dry, water the plant every 5-7 days. In the spring and fall, water it every 7-10 days, and in the winter water every 10-14 days. Over-watering can lead to root rot, so be sure not to give it too much water. Additionally, it is important to check the soil before watering and only water when the soil is dry. Feel the first few inches of the soil to check for moisture, and if you can feel moisture, wait another day or 2 before watering.

Cranesbill (Geranium wlassovianum) needs full sun for 6-8 hours per day during the growing season of spring and summer. During the late fall and winter, it should be kept in an area with partial sun or bright indirect light. If the plant is receiving more than 8 hours of daily sun, it could result in the leaves burning or the plant wilting.

Cranesbill (Geranium wlassovianum) requires regular pruning for best performance and appearance. It should be pruned twice a season, late winter/early spring and then late summer/early fall. In late winter/early spring, Cranesbill should be cut back almost to the ground level. This will remove the old, dying foliage, as well as any dead blooms, and encourage healthy new growth in the spring. In late summer/early fall, cut back the plant again, removing any new foliage that has become leggy and out of shape. This will encourage bushier growth and help the plant attain a better shape and fuller look. When pruning at any time of year, always use clean, sharp pruning shears or scissors to ensure a clean cut and optimal results.
