97022Q.Leave it or yank it??
Please tell me what this is! It planted itself in the middle of my roses. Need to know should I leave it? Yank it? Or relocate it? I live in near Portland Oregon where we get tons of rain, and my soil is very rocky. FYI

May 17, 2019A.I believe this is a Wild Geranium that has seeded itself in your Rose. It would not likely transplant well. You could enjoy for a bit and/or remove it!

June 27, 2019A.This looks like damage to the flowers from overhead watering. Try to water at the base of the plants and keep water from splashing onto the flowers and foliage.

Allow the soil to dry between waterings, then water throughly.

BS16 2TAQ.My geraniums the stems below the flower head are slitting open and flowers dying

July 5, 2019A.If this issue of splitting is also marked with browning stems it could be Bacterial Stem Rot.

If you don't have any browning spots on the stems and plant; verify the growing conditions.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/geranium/geranium-care.htm
On a personal note; I do like to feed my Geraniums with Epsom salt through the summer; light feedings help them retain a good colors and stay strong looking.

I have to them in a pot with marigolds and they are flourishing.

July 19, 2019A.Although most geraniums will flower during the summer, it sounds like you have a spring blooming variety. These are not as common, but they do exist. I would not worry about it, though, since the marigolds are blooming. It just seems like that will be its natural flowering cycle.

92630Q.Bugs in my geraniums
Can you advise how to get rid of these bugs? They are killing my plant. I already cut it all a few times and it survived, but when it starts getting flowers it gets full of bugs and leaves start to show holes. I tried a spray for bugs for flowers but doesn’t seem to work. Please advise

Certified ExpertA.It would appear that the insects may have caused a bacterial infection. This is bad news.
There is no real known treatment at this stage. Cutting off infected growth, and treating with fungicides can help some, but prevention is the only good way to success here.
