Pelargonium peltatum - Ivy Geranium
Type: house plant
Comments: Ivy Geranium (Vis. 1) is a good possibility for a
hanging pot. Grow it in a sunny location or partial shade.
Use any good potting soil, allowed to dry slightly between
watering. Any house plant fertilizer may be used at
recommended rates. Cool temperatures are needed, ideally
60 to 65 degrees during the day and 50 to 55 degrees at
night. Flower bud initiation depends on night temperatures
between 50 and 55 degree. Ivy geranium prefers to be
potbound. Oedema can cause severe leaf drop during the
winter.
Propagation: Propagation is by stem tip cuttings.
