Care essentials
Light
Plant in full sun to part sun; in NE Florida, geraniums are a cool-season annual planted October through March—summer heat and humidity cause rapid decline, so choose a spot with morning sun and good air circulation.
Water
Keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged; allow the surface to dry slightly between waterings. Overwatering in Florida's humidity leads to fungal disease; good drainage is essential.
Soil & Fertilizer
Plant in well-drained, moderately fertile soil; amend sandy NE Florida soil with compost before planting. Fertilize every 3–4 weeks with a balanced slow-release or liquid fertilizer to sustain bloom through the cool season.
