Can you help my geranium please?

12 years ago

Hello, I'm hoping you all can help me as the leaves keep edging with red, not sure why..

I overwinter them in my sunroom but they have been outdoors now for approx a month. Cut back and Replaced with fresh MG potting soli. Forming buds now.

We've had quite a bit of rain lately, not sure if it's that? Or maybe they need to be fed?

I've always removed the leaves in the past when I had one or two, but this one seems to have more than usual.

Thanks in advance.

lil ....

are they the wintered over leaves... the really olds ones???

what do the growth points look like...

let me suggest.. that is they are otherwise growing new leaves ... and these are the old... just snip them off ...

no plant.. holds its leaves forever.. and if these are the old ones.. they have done their work ..

you changed the media.. so i wouldnt go all soil amendment on them .. perhaps harming them with too much love

snip them off.. the plant will look 100 % better.. and i would bet my shiny penny.. it wont happen again ... but its only a penny.. and what do i know ...

Yes they were the old leaves....makes sense.

I do remove them, just had so many I was getting worried.

Kinda like turning grey with age....

Thanks ken.
