Help with Geraniums!

water and fertilize them with a high phosphorous fertilizer.

A friend who owns a small greenhouse told me years ago that planting geraniums only in clay pots would avert this problem. It has worked for me.

You have a beautiful plant and geraniums will not bloom unless stressed. Underwater, plant in crappy soil and do not fertilize. You will have nice blossoms. If you want a nice plant, then you will get no blossoms

Good day Ron. I highly suspect that you have botrytis. I had to deal with it a lot when I worked in the nursery. The link:

Quote from the page.... Biology Botrytis is a fungus which thrives under mild environmental conditions. Brown, water-soaked areas appear on leaves and petals. The spots soon dry out and become covered with gray-brown masses of fungal growth. Flowers wilt and drop. Brown leaf lesions often result after petals drop on leaves. Stock plants may show a stem blight.

Management Options Select Non-chemical Management Options as Your First Choice!!

• An integrated strategy combining environmental management, cultural practices, and fungicides will best manage this disease. * Increase spacing between plants. * Remove and burn infected leaves. * Water at base of plants and/or with drip irrigation, do not wet foliage.
