How to fertilize Black Flowered Geranium

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Black Flowered Geranium after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My poor Jerry My husband bought Jerry for me for Christmas. He had big beautiful flowers and a ton of new buds then, but now, literally nothing :( all I seem to do is pull off the dead leaves all around him. His leaves are deep green otherwise, but he is just not wanting to flower. What am I doing wrong? We are in AZ, the weather has been almost perfect. He has some kind of direct sunlight but he gets shade from his friends and a post next to him so he doesn’t get too much. What do you all think?

You don't have this one on your list. It's a Vancouver Centennial Geranium (Stellar Pelargonium). It's easily propagated by cuttings and can survive various temps in both heat and cold on my back porch. I'd like to properly list it but it's not available #GregPlantShop

I can't wait til Friday to show off Icarus here- if you know my plants, you know they were almost exclusively from my late father who never bothered googling their preferred care. It took me way too long to figure out what he even is, what with the attempt at becoming a tree due to light deficit. While trying to secure the spindly stalks a while back, I accidentally broke one off, felt terrible, and shoved it back into the soil hoping for the best. It thrived, so I went back and started cutting to bring him back down to less-above-average geranium height. With a lot more direct light, he's sending out all kinds of new leaves and is way less likely to topple himself over. I don't think all of the cuttings are going to survive, but what is, is vastly better and I'm just so thrilled at all this happy growth. I haven't updated his profile yet if you're curious how far he's come in just over 2 months! #zonalegeranium #newgrowth #rescueplants #happyplants #plantrehab #freshleaffriday #freshleaves

Update - since repotting this beauty seems extremely happy now. Fresh healthy leaves are abundant! I love the smell of the leaves when touched or disturbed. Uplifting! #ZonaleGeranium

This guy and his all year blooming might be my favorite plant. Don't tell the new babies. A nice before and after of my #zonalegeranium Icarus. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #windowdisplays #inbloom #greggang #plantrecovery

It lost nearly all of its flowers I moved it from a North side window to a sunnier south side window, since it needs direct light. However it lost nearly all of its flowers by now :/ #help #helpmyplant #lostflowers #grandiflorum #Pelargoniumgrandiflorum

Getting too big Hi my plant is getting too big and I upsized the pot. Should I upsize again ? Does it look okay for a geranium as well? The ones I’ve seen online look much fuller. Mine is an indoor plant. I used to take it outside but I got tired of hauling it in when it snows in Ohio.
