How to keep Geranium Ornithopodon.

Water

The Geranium ornithopodon flourishes in humid environments and needs plenty of water during the summer months. However, in winter, reduce watering to prevent root rot. Allow the soil to dry out briefly to encourage better flower production, but avoid letting it stay dry for too long, as this can cause the leaves to fall off. Ensure proper drainage during prolonged periods of rain.

Pruning

Geranium ornithopodon boasts lush foliage and vibrant blooms. To encourage growth, prune it in early spring by removing dead stems. Thinning the plant improves air circulation. Avoid heavy pruning during its active growth period. Regular pruning promotes vigor and reduces the risk of disease. Always use sharp, clean tools to minimize damage.
