Thank you for this tutorial, I have learned so much from you.I look forward to watching your videos.
What zone are you in? Zone 5 here, and wish my geranium could make the winter (doubt it though).
Hi! Have you tried – zrumplina diy aquaponics (google it)? Ive seen some amazing things about it and my buddy grew excellent veggies with it.
How far back shoulda the stem with th bloom be pinched back?
is cutting them with scissors better than ripping the leaves off? also, how and where do you pinch them to promote bushy plants?
I agree I think using scissors is easier than ripping the part off
Thank you!! Finally a straight answer!!
