Deadhead and Feed Pelargoniums Regularly for a Balcony Full of Blooms

Pelargoniums bloom most abundantly in summer when spent flower heads and dry leaves are removed regularly. They need watering every 2–3 days during heat, a potassium-phosphorus fertiliser every 10–14 days, and a sunny or partly shaded spot. Oversized pots, overwatering or nitrogen-heavy fertilisers promote leafy growth at the expense of flowers.
