Pelargonium petaltum. Traling geranium. Mix C13

Pelargonium Peltatum, or Ivy Geranium is a southern african subshrub on the geraniaceae family.

This evergreen plant will produce plenty of flowers with only a few cares and during a long period of the year.

To get the best of it  we will plant our Ivy Geranium in a rich soil with a good drain system. Get rid of withered flowers and leaves, detaching them from the base to the stem, this way we will encourage new flowers and will avoid a leggy plant. In the case it happens we can always trim and pinch it, a bushier plant will come up.

Ivy Geranium does not need a lot of water, in fact it is a drought resistant, but of course it will thrive much better when providing regular water. What it really needs is sun to have a larger number of flowers.

Add fertiliser mainly in spring and autumn. Liquid fertiliser when  grown in a pot and slow release fertiliser when it is in the garden.

Special insecticide is necessary to keep african mouth away "cacyreus marshalli"  , from spring to autumn.

In our area Ivy Geranium is cultivated as an evergreen, pruning it by the end of the winter or at the beginning of spring, but in colder climates, normally,  it will not overwinter, so better to replace it every year.
