watering

Geranium plants should be watered when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch. Watering frequency will depend on the specific species and climate, but they generally need to be watered 1-2 times per week. Water until it drains out of the bottom of the pot, and then allow the soil to dry out somewhat before watering again. Make sure to avoid overwatering by letting the water drain out of the bottom and never leaving the pot sitting in water.

sunlight

Geraniums, a diverse group of plants, generally need 4 to 6 hours of full sun exposure per day. During the hottest summer months, it’s best to provide morning sun and some protection from afternoon sun to help conserve water and keep plants from getting scorched. If your climate allows, a south- or west-facing window is ideal for providing plenty of light.

pruning

Most geraniums are pruned back in late winter or early spring to encourage healthy new growth and blooming. Pruning should generally involve removing a few of the oldest, largest stems at the base of the plant, cutting them back to a few inches above the soil line. Deadheading the wilted blooms as they fade throughout the season can also promote new blooms.
