February 25, 2019Q.Growing geraniums from seeds – pinching
Hello, please I need help. I have been growing geraniums for the last 3 years. But so far I have not tried to pinch out the tops (it is recommended to pinch off the tops ). I do not know exactly where to pinch my little plants. I am sending photos of my 2months old geraniums. Thank you very much.

Certified ExpertA.These are quite young to be pinching. You will want to pinch off the VERY TOP and that is all, but you will want to wait until you see at least 6 to 8 nodes, or leaf pairs on each plant. Then, simply pinch the top. You don't even have to remove the top, as simply pinching will allow redistribution of auxins, while allowing the top to remain intact. This give you more branching, and less chance for infection.

February 26, 2019A.This is most commonly caused by a lack of light. What kind of light source do you have them under and for how long each day?

Bargersville indiana 46106Q.My geranium seedlings are curling.
The first 2 leaves curled. I read where they were too wet. They are getting a third leaf now. Will they be ok?

March 3, 2019A.Getting the moisture level correct is tricky and I'll bet that more home seedlings die from over-watering than lack of water. The first set of leaves are not "true" leaves, they are cotyledons which are temporary. It is not possible to predict but I think your seedlings will grow on if the stem looks strong. Too much water also rots thin stems. Don't fertilize until there are at least 2 sets of true leaves and then use only 1/4 strength fertilizer. Aim for soil that is damp, like a wrung out sponge and never let the seedlings sit in water. If you think the soil is now too wet, run a fan.

what do you do if a geranium plant has plenty of leaves but no flowers?
- Answered by
Downtoearthdigs on
March 21, 2019A.It either has too much nitrogen, or not enough phosphorus and potassium. You can add a high phosphorus and potassium mix, or just add potassium phosphate according to the directions.
Alternatively, you can try raising the pH with dolomitic lime. This can help the uptake of, both potassium and phosphorus, while decreasing nitrogen uptake.

April 8, 2019A.If the roots died, it will not likely recover. Trim away the dead plant material, water and wait.
