Lemon geranium is a fragrant and popular garden plant known for its textured, lemon-scented leaves. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires regular watering, but is sensitive to overwatering which can lead to root rot. Lemon geranium prefers full sun to partial shade, with ample sunlight being crucial for optimal growth and the release of its citrus aroma. Regular pruning will encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess. Lemon geranium is adaptable, making it a beginner-friendly choice for plant enthusiasts.

How to Fertilize lemon geranium?

Fertilize lemon geranium with balanced nutrition fertilizers (e.g., 20-20-20) every 4 weeks during active growth. In flowering stages, switch to high phosphorus formulas to bolster blooms. Apply a quarter-strength solution, accounting for plant size. Purpose: Stimulate robust growth, vibrant foliage, and plentiful flowers. Seasonal variations affect needs: less in winter, more in spring/summer. Precautions: Avoid over-fertilization; leads to salt accumulation, root damage.
