CHUXAY GARDEN Red Pelargonium Peltatum-Cascading Geranium,Ivy-leaved Pelargonium 100 Seeds Native Lovely Flowers Grows for Garden and pots Easy to Grow & Maintain

Pelargonium peltatum is a hanging geranium that can withstand drought very well and is an easy balcony plant for pots and hanging baskets. They form long stems up to 60cm long. In their usual role as container annuals, ivy geraniums are planted in spring and will quickly begin flowering right up until frost. Like other Pelargonium species, ivy geraniums are mildly toxic to humans, dogs, cats, and horses. Full sun is necessary for good leaf color and flower production. Partial sun can help plants cope in regions with high summer temperatures, but four to six hours is best for ample blooming. A loam or sandy loam provides the drainage and root aeration that ivy geraniums need. A rich soil is not as important as loose, well-drained soil. Potted plants do well in standard commercial potting mix; some growers like to mix in additional sand or perlite. Ivy geraniums like relatively neutral soil pH from 7.0 to 7.5. Ivy geraniums like regular watering, but don't like soggy conditions. Garden plants thrive on about one inch of water per week but you should allow the surface of the soil to dry out between waterings. Potted plants, however, might require watering several times a week because they dry out faster. These plants do not tolerate temporary dryness in the way that zonal geraniums do.
