What soil is best for growing geraniums?

1. What soil to use

1. Soilless cultivation: preferably a mixture of sand bed, silt and perlite

2. Soil cultivation: yellow mud, mountain mud, and garden mud can all be used. Of course, you can also use fine yellow sand, with slightly rougher sand and gravel underneath to facilitate water conduction, and fine sand and gravel on top to facilitate water storage.

3. Note: This type of plant is more suitable for soil with good air permeability, so whether it is soilless cultivation or soil cultivation, it is best to add a little perlite or sand and gravel to the culture soil.

2. Soil conducive to growth

This type of plant has relatively strong adaptability and can grow in all kinds of cultivation soil, but it is more suitable for living in sandy soil rich in humus because it requires very strong air permeability and water permeability.

Using rotten leaves and soil, and mixing in some sand and gravel to increase air permeability is more conducive to the survival and development of such plants.

Geranium can bloom flowers of different colors in soils with different acidity and alkalinity content, so you can try adding a little slightly acidic or slightly alkaline nutrient solution to the soil. However, this type of plant does not require strong fertilization. Too much fertilizer will lead to less flowering of the plant. Applying a thin layer of fertilizer every 1-2 weeks will allow the plant to bloom vigorously.
