Strawberry Geranium Care In Gardens
The following are some facts about Strawberry Geraniums.
Seedlings need to be watered regularly. If they get too dry, they will not grow properly. They must have plenty of light and air so that their growth rate increases rapidly. You can water them every other day or even twice daily if possible. Watering them too often can cause them to rot.
They prefer full sun but do well under partial shade. They like moist soil with good drainage, but don’t let it become soggy.
Geraniums need to be pruned frequently to keep the plant healthy and vigorous. Pruning them once a year is enough; however, they may require trimming several times during their lifetime.
When growing strawberry geraniums indoors, make sure that there is adequate ventilation. Make sure that the room temperature does not drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16°C).
If you want to grow strawberries indoors, then you should consider planting these plants in pots rather than seeds. These plants are very easy to propagate from cuttings and will produce new shoots each time they’re pruned.
Strawberry geraniums are grown as annuals. When grown outdoors, they can survive in climates that have warm temperatures and high humidity.
Strawberry begonias grow larger than their cousins the ordinary geraniums. The leaves of these plants may be lobed or undulating, depending on the species. The flowers are red, pink or white.
Some varieties of the strawberry begonia can grow up to two feet in height when fully mature. These plants prefer moist soil and filtered sun.
Grow your own strawberries from a cutting so that you can enjoy their sweet taste throughout the year. The following steps tell you how to propagate begonias for fruiting.
Cut the parent plant with a sharp knife or shears just below a node, or the place where a leaf is attached to the stem. Take care not to damage any of the buds. Place the cutting in a glass of water and put it in a warm place (room temperature) away from direct sunlight. Change the water daily. In about one week roots should start to form at the nodes and when this happens the cutting can be planted in soil.
