Water the base of the geranium plants early in the morning, avoiding the leaves to prevent mildew.
Repeat once a week during the flowering season.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Store unused mixture in a covered container for up to one week. Shake well before reuse.
Always use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the roots.
Do not overwater—ensure the soil dries slightly between applications.
Variations:
For an extra potassium boost, add a banana peel soaked in water for 24 hours and use that water in place of plain water.
Swap Epsom salt for crushed eggshells (steeped overnight) for calcium if leaves appear pale.
Add a few drops of neem oil if pests are a concern.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use this mixture on other flowering plants?
A: Yes, this blend is beneficial for most flowering plants, but always test on a small area first.
Q: Why use coffee grounds?
A: Coffee grounds add nitrogen, improving leaf growth and overall plant vigor.
Q: What if my geraniums stop blooming?
A: Check for overwatering, lack of sunlight, or pruning needs. This tonic supports blooming but doesn’t replace basic care requirements.
