Ivy geraniums have distinctive ivy-shaped leaves that are usually glossy and deep green. The foliage is often aromatic when crushed. The plant produces clusters of small, five-petaled flowers in a variety of colors, including shades of pink, red, purple, and white
Care tips:
- Light: Ivy geraniums prefer full sun to partial shade. Provide them with at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming.
- Soil: Use well-draining potting mix or garden soil. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Watering early in the day helps prevent fungal diseases.
- Temperature and Humidity: Ivy geraniums thrive in moderate temperatures. They are sensitive to frost, so protect them from cold temperatures. They prefer moderate humidity levels.
- Fertilization: Feed ivy geraniums with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Reduce fertilization during the winter months.
- Pruning: Regularly pinch back the growing tips to encourage bushier growth and more abundant flowering. Remove spent flowers to promote continuous blooming.
- Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and spider mites. Treat any infestations promptly. Good air circulation and proper watering can help prevent fungal diseases.
