Growing under Lights

geraniums

18 years ago

I grow geraniums from cuttings. This year I decided to experiment using coco fiber for the growing medium. The basic concept being help with watering. Does anyone know how often I should feed them? In the dirt mix that I use, I feed every 2 weeks. Any help would be appreciated.

In coir, you should feed more or less with every watering at a very dilute rate. Coir doesn't store nutrients and usually doesn't come with an upfront fertiliser load.
