Sharon -- USDA Zone 5-6? Guest Jul-11-03, 11:38 AM (EST)   "Geraniums"      Help...my Ivy geraniums are budding, but the buds get fuzzy and dry up before most of them bloom. What is going on? I think I water them enough, and not too much, the leaves aren't turning yellow.   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Try this formula to stimulate blooming: Mix of 1/4 tsp each: epsom salts, instant tea, hydrogen peroxide and househod ammonia to 2 cups of water. Spray on plant leaves and pour around roots. Continue feeding the plant every two weeks with a fertilizer designed for blooming plants. Happy Gardening, Diane   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
