Pelargonium (Peltatum Grp) 'Balkon White' - white Tyrolean geraniums

Pelargonium peltatum is a popular variety of geranium, also known as flowing geranium or balcony geranium. This plant is part of the Geraniaceae family and is native to South Africa.

The distinctive feature of this variety is that it has long and flexible stems that can cling to supports, so the plant can be grown as a trailing plant. The leaves are round and glossy, and the flowers have five petals and can come in a variety of colors, such as white, pink, red or purple.

Here are some care tips:

Light: The plant prefers sunny or semi-shaded places, but it can also tolerate partial shade.

Water: Watering must be moderate and regular, ensuring that the soil is well drained. It is important not to leave the soil too wet, because this can lead to rotting of the roots. During the summer, it must be watered more frequently, because the temperature rises and the plant will consume more water.

Soil: Pelargonium peltatum prefers well-drained soil rich in nutrients. To ensure good drainage, we can mix the soil with perlite or sand. It is important to make sure that the soil is always moist, but not saturated with water.

Fertilization: It is recommended to fertilize the geranium once every two weeks with a fertilizer for flowering plants. This will help the development and flowering of the plant.

Pruning: Pruning is important to encourage compact growth and abundant flowering. We have to cut the tops of the stems, to stimulate the growth of the side branches.

Protection against pests: The flowing bite can be affected by various pests, such as lice or aphids. It is important to monitor the plants and treat them when we notice signs of infestation.
