Geraniums
Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2018 10:40 pm
As I mentioned on the other gardening post, growing stuff can be a challenge around here...
I have two large planters either side of my front door. Both of them are filled with red geraniums. One pot is covered in blooms and has lots more buds on the way. The other one is just all leaves--profuse quantities of new and healthy looking leaves, but nary a bud in sight.
I tried switching their positions to see if it was a light-related thing, but there has been no change. They are planted in the same soil which is pretty rich old muck heap dirt.
I think leafy one is a different variety to flowery one, and it had flowers on it when I planted it, about 4 weeks ago.
I've watered them, fed them, flattered, cajoled and threatened them, but no flowers.
Do I need to give it a majot haircut? Be more patient, what?
