If we consider the varieties of pelargonium, then the "angels" are striking. They are characterized by delicate flowers, small green foliage and compactness. Moreover, these flowers can be grown not only at home, but also at their summer cottage.

Growing pelargonium

If you want Pelargonium Angel to decorate the apartment, then try to provide it with proper care. In particular, remember to regularly remove wilted flowers. Also, the flower needs constant watering. In winter, it needs to be cut.

Remember the main rule - the lower the temperature, the less you need to water pelargonium. As for the light, the more it hits the flower, the more compact and more beautiful it looks. Caring for pelargoniums also consists in fertilizing these flowers with mineral dressings. To prevent water from stagnating, provide the flower with good drainage at the bottom of the pot.

There is also zoned pelargonium. When growing it, you may encounter the problem of drying out the leaves. To prevent such a situation, try to provide the plant with optimal temperature and water conditions.
