I really like the means with a cap-dispenser: Easy to use and eliminates the error.

Not necessarily choose the means specifically "To Geraniums". The main thing that for adult geranium it was more phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), than nitrogen (N). This information is necessarily written on the label. They stimulate flowering.

A little different with young pelargonium cuttings. Basically, if they do so quickly enough to grow, you can do without making dressings. But that process was faster, you can take the fertilizer, where the nitrogen with potassium and phosphorus, "par." It is this chemical element responsible for the growth of shoots and leaves. Then, when the bush geranium acquire shape and size, switch to phosphorus-potassium means waiting mass flowering.

• 1 g of boric acid powder.

Overdoing it is not necessary: ​​just slightly moisten every leaf. Geranium and so get all that she needs from such a composition.
