    The plant needs water once or twice a week. It is important to let the soil dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Water the plant at the base and avoid getting water on the leaves.

    The plant loves lots of sunlight, so it's important to place it in a location where it receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Make sure the plant doesn't get too much direct sunlight, as this can lead to burning of the leaves. Therefore, it's best to place the plant in a room where it receives filtered sunlight.

    Yes, the Pelargonium is known for its air-purifying properties and can help improve the air quality in the house. It is a houseplant that can filter toxic substances from the air, thus providing a healthier living environment.

  • Pelargonium plants should be pruned regularly to maintain their shape and promote new growth. Remove dead or damaged leaves and branches by cutting them back to just above the ground. Prune after flowering to rejuvenate the plant and prevent it from getting too large.

    Make sure the soil is always lightly moist, but avoid letting the roots sit in water. Water the plant regularly in spring and summer, while reducing watering in autumn and winter. Good drainage is important to prevent root rot.

    Pelargonium requires well-draining potting soil with plenty of organic material. Avoid soggy soil, as this can lead to root rot. Regular fertilizing during the growing season will help the plant thrive.

    Houseplants like Pelargonium thrive best in well-draining, moist soil with a neutral pH. Make sure the potting soil is rich in nutrients and avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot. Use a nutritious potting mix for optimal growth and flowering.

    The plant needs regular watering, but make sure the soil doesn't get too wet. Place the plant in a bright spot, but avoid direct sunlight. Remove dead flowers and leaves regularly for optimal growth.

    The ideal temperature for this plant is between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. Make sure the plant is not exposed to drafts, cold air currents, or temperature fluctuations. A constant temperature will promote the health of the plant.

    Houseplants like the Pelargonium thrive well in average humidity levels in the house. Make sure the humidity doesn't get too low, especially in the winter when the heater is on, to prevent the leaves from drying out. Regularly spraying the leaves can help increase the humidity.

    Houseplants like Pelargonium thrive best in a slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. A soil that is too acidic or too alkaline can lead to issues with nutrient uptake by the plant. It is therefore important to regularly check the soil pH and adjust it if necessary.

    Pelargonium needs regular fertilization during the growing season to stay healthy and bloom well. Use a balanced fertilizer for indoor plants and follow the instructions on the package to prevent over-fertilization. Fertilize the plant about every 4 to 6 weeks for good growth and flowering.
