watering
Regal geraniums prefer moderate to frequent watering, provided the soil is allowed to dry out slightly between watering. It is best to water in the mornings or evenings so as to avoid quickly evaporating under the harsh midday sun. In general, it is recommended to water regal geraniums once a week so that the soil remains lightly moist. In hot weather, increasing watering frequency may be necessary to avoid the soil getting too dry and the plant wilting.
sunlight
Regal geraniums should receive 5-7 hours of direct sunlight each day in the early spring months. Once it is summertime, however, they should be shifted to a more shaded area or kept out of direct sun for the hottest part of the day as too much sunlight, especially during the afternoon, can scorch their foliage.
pruning
Regal geraniums should be pruned annually in the early spring. For best results, remove up to 1-third of the plant's stems, and use sharp, sterilized pruning shears to make clean, angled cuts as close to the main stem as possible. In addition to yearly pruning, these plants can benefit from regular pruning of old flower blooms, both to keep the plants looking attractive and to encourage new flowers to form.
