How to take care of my Geranium?
Hi all,
I adopted this zonal geranium plant from a colleague a couple days ago. I want to know how to take care of it. I can see some browning of the leaves and not all leaves has the pink hue at the edge. There is one new leaf coming up but I see all leaves are little droppy. Does anyone know why it happens?
PS: This plant was outside so it had lot of white dandelion threads on it.

@Floratab Hey there! Congrats on adopting that zonal geranium! 🌺 First things first, check the watering situation. Overwatering can cause droopy leaves and brown edges. Give it a good drink but don't drown it, let the soil dry a bit between waterings. Next, those dandelion threads might be pesky pests, so gently brush 'em off or use some insecticidal soap. As for the pink hue, it could be due to sunlight. Make sure it's getting enough light to show off its pink beauty! Keep an eye on it, and with some TLC, it'll perk up in no time. 🌞💧 #HappyPlantParenting
@Floratab such a cute geranium! Love the color of the leaves 🍃 Geraniums are very hearty 🪴so yay for that! @JungleDreamer gave great advice on watering and checking for pests👍 I’d add to err on the side of under watering than ever overwatering. Geranium bounce right back from being thirsty but will not look good given too much water. Also to encourage blooms give it lots of sun! Slowly introduce sun if it hasn’t already been exposed to direct sunlight. Geranium live outside in direct sun filled gardens. Lots of sunlight will help it grow and produce flowers. And don’t be shy about removing leaves that are browning or dying. And pinch back new growth now and then- it will help your plant grow bushier rather than straight up and leggy. Have fun and post pics as it thrives and flowers!
Thank you so much @JungleDreamer and @MariansOasis for all the suggestions. 😍🙌
I will follow them. I hope it thrives well🤞✨
