    All of the above, could be possible reasons.

    Hot temperatures can cause the leaves to curl up. The warmer temps will require more frequent watering, so make sure you are checking the soil. A well draining soil and pot is very important.
    If you can move the pots to a location that is out of direct sun, that should help your plant weather the summer temperatures with less stress.

    It is likely due to a nutrient imbalance, though watering with cold water, cooler air temperatures and keeping the soil too wet could also be causes. A soil test wold confirm any deficiencies so they can be corrected.

    Scented Geraniums or Pelargoniums are one of my favorite plants.
    The blossoms are much smaller on these plants, so you will only see little clusters of these delicate flowers.
    The plants highly fragrant leaves are their best feature!

    This can happen for a few reasons. Over fertilization or soil that is too wet can cause this as can too little light. It may also be botrytis fungus. Check to make sure that the geraniums are in an optimal location with well draining soil and, if you fertilize, stop for awhile. If you don't see an improvement, treat the plant with a fungicide to treat the botrytis fungus.

    Neem oil is the most effective treatment we have found for scale insects. It is actually quite easy to use. Simply mix with water per label instructions and apply as a foliar spray.
