Experts consider it necessary to immediately transplant purchased pelargonium (maximum within 14 days): the transport soil is too saturated with fertilizers and stimulants.

• After removing the previously watered plant, the old soil must be shaken off the root system.
• The roots must be carefully examined. All defects are removed and sprinkled with charcoal.
• Drainage is laid out in a shallow pot.
• Expanded clay is poured over the drainage layer.
• Next, fresh soil is laid. Important: its remains must be filled up without tamping.
• The newly planted plant is watered, ensuring that the gaps between the roots are filled with earth.

All Bold pelargoniums love full lighting. With a lack of light, flowering becomes impossible. However, direct sunlight will be harmful. Attention: you cannot put pelargonium close to other plants, even of the same species. This culture needs free space.

When preparing the soil on your own, you must give preference to fertile soil with good drainage. It is composed using the same amounts:

• humus;
• turf;
• sand;
• peat.

In this case, one should try not to moisturize it too much. With the arrival of cold weather, watering is reduced to a minimum. Spraying is categorically unacceptable. When pelargonium is actively growing, it is fed with mineral or liquid mixtures. As soon as flowering occurs, preparations containing phosphorus and potassium are used. Fertilizers should not contain a lot of nitrogen. Top dressing is carried out until the end of autumn.

The temperature should be moderate. In the summer months, it is recommended to warm up the air from 20 to 22 °. In the cold season, this figure should be 16 °. The humidity should be kept at 60%. Enhanced hydration is not required. Attempts to carry it out can provoke rotting of the stem and root, or infection with infections. The air must circulate freely and continuously. Its stagnation leads to diseases of pelargonium.
