That's the most comprehensive talk I have heard on feeding. Thank you. I am now a subscriber.

Excellent tips, I'm a neophyte I appreciate and thank you for the thorough talk on fertilizing pelargoniums.

Thanks very much for another great video!

Thanks for your very interesting videos. Just so you know the letter K is used to represent the element potassium because the original Latin name was called Kalium (not because they ran out of letters using the letter P for phosphorus) anyway keep up the good work 👍 🌺, your greenhouse is lovely!

Thank you very much. My geraniums will thank you too!

[GlasshouseandGarden]

Very useful! I didn’t know you needed to feed so often- I’ll be changing my feeding pattern now.

Im using homemade fertilizer from banana, onion, garlic, carrot peels. ITS liquid, 1 time per week, and also calcium from egg shells. Results are amazing. Thank you sir. Your nickname should be Mr Pelargonium Encyclopedia:)

Very interesting. I've heard largely the same facts from the hybridizers of fancy bloom tropical hibiscus. Where large amounts of phosphorus is avoided because it makes roots very woody which they say hinders nutrient uptake and bloom quantity and quality so they end up using banana or palm type fertilizers with medium nitrogen low phosphorus, and high potassium. I don't know if it's true but one person said high phosphorus blooming fertilizers were a scam of the greenhouse industry saying it's good for blooming because it ends up ruining the root system of plants making the customer have to buy a new plant the next season. It's anecdotal but applying this to my other blooming houseplants(I have around 75) I have noticed improved vigor and blooming. I switched from a dyna gro 7-9-5 to a top tropical fertilizer that is 2-2-4 for reference. Thought I would throw it out there.

Thanks a lot, David, for these details! I have been always afraid to add more feed. I have never heard that pelargs are hungry. Everybody told that it is dangerous to overdone the feeding because I can burn the roots. And I added it too little. Now it is obvious to me that my pelargs had a lack of feed - I had thought they had not enough sun or fresh air. What do you think of it? Do the sun and the air influence the growth and blooming more than feeding? Is NPK proportion 16-20-27 good for pelargonuims? Thanks a lot in advance!💖💖💖

Excellent video...could you mention the name of the granular blue feed please.

[libistur]

Thankyou Mr. Taylor...one question though...can I feed my cuttings?

[brianskeys]

Hi, I am new to the society. Many people say that Pelargoniums should be kept dry with no feed during the winter. Can you please confirm that you provide a balanced liquid feed once a fortnight during the winter.
Thanks.

Pelargoniums need potassium when they are trying to flower. I saw the video well.😄😄😄

[Theodormotrescul]

Hello David. Please can you tell me how many times you water them on the summer time? Thank you in advance

[lyndseywinnington]

Well it seems I have been feeding mine all wrong. I think they may have cabbage leaves 🤦
