How to keep Geranium Elamellatum.
Light
To grow optimally, little robin prefers full sun exposure, though it tolerates moderate levels of light well. Its native habitat points to a preference for open areas. Excessive shade can impede its growth, while an abundance of sunlight does not harm it.
Temperature
Little robin originates from habitats where temperatures usually range from 68 to 95 °F (20 to 35 ℃). The plant prefers cooler conditions but nonetheless adapts well to seasonal changes. Moderate temperatures keep the plant thriving.
Fertilizer
When most of Little robin's blooms have opened to full size, it's time to resume fertilizing. Around the period when blooms are at peak output, begin fertilizing every three to four weeks, weather permitting. Once Little robin starts producing fewer new blooms, stop fertilizing; there is no need to fertilize the plant when it can no longer produce additional blooms.
