How to care for Milfield Rose pelargonium at home

To succeed in growing a plant, it needs to be provided with complete and high-quality care.

Illumination and temperature conditions

For the culture, you need to choose the optimal temperature regime. It should be at +20 .. + 27 degrees.

In order for buds to form on the bushes and double inflorescences to appear, the plant needs sufficient daylight hours. It should be at least 14 hours. Sometimes there is a need to use phytolamps. Thanks to this, it is possible to achieve winter flowering of the culture.

With the arrival of heat, the plant can be planted in open soil. For him, you need to choose a well-lit place. It is also permissible to take out the bushes to the balcony or terrace. In this case, you need to ensure that there is partial shade over the plant and the bushes do not get burned.

Watering rules and humidity

Pelargonium needs to be watered abundantly, but it is not recommended to overmoisten the soil. Overdrying of a lump of soil is also undesirable. In this case, there is a risk of falling off the leaves of the crop, which reduces its decorative properties. Excess moisture provokes rotting of the roots - in such a situation, it will not be possible to save the culture.

Water the soil as it dries. In the winter season, the frequency of soil moisture is significantly reduced, because pelargonium is resting.

Important! For watering pelargonium, soft, settled water at room temperature is suitable. The use of cold liquid provokes rotting of the root system. Spraying the crop is not recommended

In this case, the leaves must be systematically cleaned of dust. A barely damp cloth is suitable for this manipulation. Dry the flower in the sun immediately after the procedure.

Top dressing and soil quality

In order for the plant to delight with lush flowering as long as possible, the bush needs additional nutrition. Top dressing should be used very carefully. An excess of fertilizer will lead to undesirable consequences.

• In the spring, it is recommended to fertilize this representative of geraniums with nitrogen agents. Thanks to such preparations, it is possible to achieve an increase in green mass.
• Before starting the formation of buds, nitrogen-containing agents are canceled. During this period, the bushes need to use potassium and phosphorus. Thanks to such substances, beautiful inflorescences are formed.

For feeding pelargonium, you can use combined mineral products that are sold in stores - they have a balanced composition.

Flower container size

A medium-sized pot is suitable for pelargonium. Too spacious capacity leads to active growth of the bush. At the same time, flowering can be very poor.

As the culture develops, a large capacity is selected and transplanted Pelargonium Milfield Rose.

Pelargonium pruning

To get a beautiful compact plant, it needs to be pruned sometimes. The procedure promotes abundant flowering and rejuvenation of the culture. Shoot development should be monitored throughout the growing season. With the onset of autumn, rejuvenating pruning is performed. In this case, you need to remove old and diseased branches.

It is interesting! There is another very similar plant variety - Millfield gem. But this culture is characterized by completely double inflorescences.
