Question:

I’m growing geraniums from seed indoors in a small pot. I’ve read conflicting pieces of advice on how often to water them. How often should I be watering them?

Answer:

Hi Alison,

Let the soil dry to the touch before watering and then soak thoroughly.  The frequency of watering depends on the size of the container you have the geraniums in.  New, fresh soil holds water the best and is full of nutrients, so be sure to change out old leached soil from last year’s pots.  Good luck!
