    Product description
    :
    Indoor plants have long decorated people's homes. Among them there are exotic flowers and well-known to everyone. The latter should include geraniums. She fell in love for her beauty and unpretentiousness in care. There are many varieties of geraniums. Lovers of this flower will like the tulip-shaped geranium, which will decorate their collection.
    The first information about pelargonium appeared in Holland in the 16th century. In the following centuries, the flower became very popular, especially in England. Tulip pelargonium was bred in America, in the city of Boston (Andrea's nursery) in 1966.
    There were disputes about its creation: is it a species mutation or a hybrid? The first variety was named Patricia Andrea. Over time, other varieties appeared, called by the names of women from the family of breeders.
    The peculiarity of the tulip–shaped geranium is in the unusual shape of the flowers - like an unopened tulip. The size of the flower is no more than 1 cm, and if it were in the singular, it would look too modest, but up to 30- 50 pieces are collected in the inflorescence of such flowers, and they have the appearance of a beautiful bouquet.
    The color palette ranges from pink to burgundy in pale or saturated tones. Often streaks are visible on the petals, and the color inside the flower is brighter than outside. The leaves of this type of pelargonium are tough and shiny. The height of the bush is from 30 to 70 cm .
    An interesting fact is the difficulties in the selection of tulip geraniums. Due to the tightly compressed petals in the flowers, it is very difficult to get to the pistil and stamens and pollinate. Therefore, only 14 varieties and hybrids have been bred for 50 years.
    Instructions for planting and care:
    Pelargonium is not a capricious plant, however, for its health and beautiful flowering, you need to follow certain rules of care (for beginners, a separate article).
    The most important thing is the light. It should not be bright, otherwise burns will appear on the leaves, but also not muffled. The optimal location is the south side – there will be good lighting all year round. If you want the geranium in the pot to bloom in winter, then you should arrange additional light. With a lack of lighting, the plant will stretch, the inflorescences will become small and not lush.
    The soil needs non–acidic - a ready-made mixture or a complex of 2 parts of turf, 1 part of peat and 1 part of sand. Good drainage is necessary, as the plant can quickly die from stagnation of water.
    The temperature in the room in summer should be 20-25 ° C. In winter – 15-20 ° C. Geraniums are contraindicated by hot air from heating devices, so if the pot with the plant is on the windowsill, then it should be quite wide so that the air flow does not touch the plant. Or the plant needs to be moved to another place.
    Watering is necessary 1 time every two days in the warm season and 1 time every three to four days in autumn and winter.
    Geranium is responsive to fertilizing. For the correct formation of green mass and abundant flowering, it is important to know the rules of fertilization. During the growth of the bush, complex preparations in liquid form with nitrogen are needed. You need to apply fertilizer 1 time every two weeks. When the plant forms inflorescences, nitrogen should be excluded. After the end of flowering, it is necessary to switch back to complex fertilizers.
    During the formation of the green mass, pruning may be required for lush flowering. Usually it is needed for tall varieties.
    In addition to the basic rules of growing geraniums, you need to know some of the features of this culture. Potted geranium care includes:
    elimination of drafts;
    as the shoots grow, they need to be pinched, forming a bush;
    wilted or dry flowers should be removed immediately, as well as those that begin to open;
    it is necessary to remove damaged leaves (read why the leaves turn red or yellow).
    These rules must be followed for the cultivation of all types of geraniums, but especially tulip-shaped, otherwise it will lose its varietal properties.
    Sometimes, even with good care, geraniums lose their varietal qualities – this indicates the loose properties of the variety. It is recommended to cut the bush at the root so that the plant releases new shoots – varietal properties can be preserved on them.
    Tulip geranium propagates by seeds and cuttings. The first method is difficult, and not all growers can cope with growing young seedlings. But it also has advantages – seeds are easier to buy than varietal cuttings; it is possible to grow several plants at once.
    To get seedlings, you need to act according to the following recommendations:
    to lose the seed with an emery stone, so that it would be easier for the sprout to break through the shell;
    before sowing, treat the seeds with epin or other similar preparations, then lower them into a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 15-20 minutes, then rinse and leave for 3 hours in warm water;
    prepare a container for sowing, fill it with a ready–made mixture of earth - 2 parts and 1 part each of peat and sand;
    place geranium seeds 5 cm apart and sprinkle with a thin layer of soil;
    water the ground from a spray bottle and cover with polyethylene.
    After the emergence of seedlings – in one and a half to two weeks, the polyethylene can be removed. You can plant seedlings when they have a couple of real leaves on them.
    It is important to know that geranium is considered a moderately poisonous plant, so all work on transplanting should be carried out with gloves, and pets and children should not be allowed to the plant!
    For those who are fond of flowers, the tulip-shaped geranium will be a wonderful addition to a home greenhouse. It is characterized by unpretentiousness and originality. The main thing is to observe the growing conditions, and then the geranium will surely please with a beautiful and long flowering!
