My geranium is in a pot which has been watered and fertilized. It has lost all of it's blossoms and has nothing in sight...no buds, just beautiful green leaves. What do I do to get the beautiful blossoms back?

Denver ColoradoQ.Hanging geranium care
I have a hanging geranium that has been neglected and has proceeded to get lon spindly legs and barely any leaves. an I cut it back almost to the roots and then try pinching to encourage bushy growth?

July 7, 2017A.Don't cut the entire plant down now, during it's growing season.
The stems must have green leaves to withstand the prune and never cut back to bare or woody stems.
After pruning give them a feeding of diluted balanced fertilizer to help with prune shock.
Prune in stages if possible.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/geranium/leggy-geranium.htm

Insects are eating my geraniums. How do I get rid of them? They look like they're gold in color. They remind me of a Ashe beetle.

July 10, 2017A.I would remove them by hand and drop into soapy water.
Then use Neem Oil on your plant.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm

July 9, 2017Q.Cutting back Geraniums in summer in Arizona
I am caring for geranium plants for the summer. They are in pots and on my patio in the shade because our heat is over 105 degrees daily. Should I cut them back to start new growth during this time? Should I place them in the sun part of the day - the very hot sun??? Some the leaves are browning and some are yellowing. I fed them with Miracle Grow. They appear over-grown to me. No flowers at all at this time. Thanks for your help. Patti Baca pbaca6@cox.net

July 10, 2017A.Actually, if some of your leaves are yellowing, that's typically a sign of too much water. It could be a disease but that's not very common. You'll want to remove the dead foliage and avoid water from overhead. Repotting might not be a bad idea right about now as well. These articles may help you:

July 12, 2017A.They need 6 hours of full sun. Avoid overwatering, soil should be moist but never soggy roots.
They don't like it cold or too hot!
Geraniums have moderate fertilization needs -- usually adding a balanced fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10, every two to four weeks is plenty to keep the blooms going. Mix 1 tablespoon of water-soluble fertilizer in a gallon of water -- or follow the manufacturer's directions.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/geranium/geranium-care.htm
