Bronze Tip Medal for All Time! 64 Tips

I have a gigantic geranium, but it isn't flowering. The foliage is huge and healthy, but no flowers. What kind of fertilizer? or does it need it?

I'm actually not too far from you in San Marcos. I have three Geraniums. One is in the shade and has tons of flowers. The other two are in full sun and have NO flowers. I'm writing this on 3/23/2011. Perhaps they like shade?
Good luck!

Hi. I live in South Australia. I have heaps of geraniums growing. It's the one plant that grows well here. From what I've learnt is they grow well all year round.

But I also have one all leaves no flower. Not sure why it's a cutting off one of my other plants.

I use just normal Miracle Grow once every 2-3 weeks and I use it as a "liquid feed" (in other words buy a container, mix it with your water). You can buy general "flower" granules (they like phosphorus) buy water before and after putting the granules on (read the container, too -use as directed). Once they start blooming, you know you have to "dead head" them to keep them blooming or they'll stop.

Blooms that are going past their prime, cut them off to keep the plant blooming. You'd think you'd cut more than they bloom, but they catch up. If you feel guilty throwing away mostly big pretty blooms, use a pair of scissors and cut off the bad parts of the blooms and put the remaining good part in a glass of water inside - they're gorgeous!

You could be feeding them too much, thus encouraging leaf growth. This often happens when the soil is too rich.

I have a geranium with lovely foliage but no flowers. It used to flower wonderfully. I dont feed it that often. I live in South Africa in a tropical Reagan.
