3 non-obvious ways to make Geranium bloom more luxuriantly, with a lot of umbrellas. Each will take no more than 10 minutes

Do you want passers-by to peer at your pelargonium windows? Then a fiery salute, a vain florist in an amicable way!

Today on the agenda - 3 ways to increase geraniums in quantitative terms. That is, to force the already existing bush to release more peduncles with buds collected in a puff.

I will not write such trivialities as the importance of forming a bush, feeding with phosphorus fertilizer, abundant lighting. Because this is the basics. I will broadcast from my windowsill about not the most popular methods, although I still strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the boring, but always working canons of agricultural technology.

Sprinkle iodine on the geranium

Iodine does not stimulate flowering in any way. The plant does not need it as a treat from the word at all. Anyone who claims otherwise is a deceiver.

Watering with iodine solution works in a completely different way. It burns the roots severely. The skill of feeding is to maintain a fine line. Do not burn the root system of the geranium at all, but create severe stress for it, provoking general flowering

Note: Yes, I am aware that pelargonium is not botanically equal to geranium. But, smart and smart, I used to call the plant as my great-grandmother called it

The optimal recipe is 1 drop per 1 liter of water. I myself do not do such nonsense, but the reviews say - it works flawlessly.

So if you are too lazy to study some kind of agricultural technology, then thanks to the iodine solution you can get quite an abundant geranium. Only, comrades, do not overuse: after all, our plants are alive, and you can show them a drop of respect.

Stick a pin into the barrel of the pelargonium

A similarly barbaric but safer way to stimulate the bloom of stubborn pelargonium is to stick a pin or thick needle into the trunk. Here flower growers, again, catch up on the pelargonium of fear.

After all, a plant in a state of stress thinks that it may soon die. And he decides to actively begin to continue his genus, giving and giving more and more flowers for the formation of seeds.

Just, again, don't overdo it. Comrade! Only thick geranium trunks can be pierced. Thin, young - leave alone.

Pour potassium magnesium into the pot

The most humane option for increasing the flowering of pelargonium is to pour a little potassium magnesium into the pot. We are used to the fact that phosphorus helps plants to bloom. But they need potassium no less. And in a duet with magnesium, a wonderful top dressing will come out!

For 1 large pot, half a tablespoon without a slide of granules will be enough. Scatter them on the ground and lightly embed them in the ground. With each watering, the fertilizer will slowly dissolve and act.

But I still strongly recommend sticking to traditional agricultural techniques: pruning, sun, fertilization. Then you won't need to burn the roots!
