Pelargonium (Geranium)

Watering: Baskets dry out quickly—water daily in warm weather and make sure the roots are getting moisture.

Feeding: Use a liquid plant food every 1–2 weeks during the growing season, even if you’ve added slow-release fertilizer.

Deadheading: Pinch off faded flowers regularly to keep plants blooming for longer.

Pruning: Trim any leggy stems and pinch back for bushier growth and more flowers.

Sunlight: Most basket plants love full sun (6+ hours/day). Shade-loving options like fuchsias prefer partial shade.
