How to fertilize Gooseberry Geranium
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Gooseberry Geranium after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Any tips for making my geranium bushier? When I first got it, I wasn’t giving it enough water or sunlight, which I think contributed to the long woody stem it’s got. Now, it’s in a south-facing window with lots of light and I water it about once a week, but the long woody stem is a bit unsightly to me. Anything I could do to encourage new growth toward the bottom? #Geranium #help #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #NewPlantMom #GregGang #GreggersSupportingGreggers #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Blue marks on my red geraniums?? Hi all 🩷! I'm posting a question here again, this time regarding my geraniums. They’re blooming, and some of them have already shown flowers. My concern is that they are showing blue dots on the petals... I have had red geraniums at home since I was a baby, and I have never seen these blue marks before 😰. Is it normal? Can someone tell me what’s going on? 🙏🏻 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #Geranium
