🌱 Growing Geraniums from Seed: A Quick Guide
Geraniums are surprisingly simple to grow—especially with a little head start indoors. Here’s how to do it:
⏱️ Start Early
Start seeds 10–12 weeks before your last frost date. Geraniums are slow to germinate but grow steadily once established.
🌡️ Provide Warmth
Germinate seeds at 70–75°F using a heat mat if needed. Light helps, so use a sunny windowsill or grow lights.
💦 Water Carefully
Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Use a humidity dome if needed to maintain consistency.
🪴 Transplant & Harden Off
Once seedlings have 2–3 sets of true leaves, transplant to individual pots. Harden them off gradually before moving them outdoors.
Once in your garden or containers, geraniums thrive with full sun, regular watering, and occasional feeding.
