Geranium Ivy

• Originally developed as a hybrid combining traditional geranium flowers with ivy-like trailing growth habits. Perfect for creating cascading displays in containers.
• Features distinctive lobed leaves that resemble ivy foliage with continuous small flower clusters in various colours. Growth habit is naturally trailing and spreading.
• Beloved by gardeners for its versatility in both hanging displays and ground cover applications. Tolerates a wide range of growing conditions once established.
• Responds well to regular feeding and pinching, rewarding gardeners with months of continuous blooms and attractive foliage throughout the growing season.

• Water deeply when soil surface feels dry, typically every 2-3 days in summer and weekly in winter. Always check soil moisture first.
• Position in bright, filtered light or morning sun with afternoon protection. Avoid intense midday summer sun in Australian conditions.
• Use well-draining potting mix with good organic content. Add perlite or coarse sand to improve drainage if needed.
• Feed monthly with balanced liquid fertiliser during active growing season from spring through autumn. Reduce feeding in winter.
• Pinch back leggy stems and deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage bushy growth and continued blooming throughout the season.
• Maintain humidity around the plant and ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues in humid Australian climates.

• Provide bright, indirect light indoors or morning sun with afternoon shade outdoors. Too much direct sun can scorch the trailing foliage.
• Water when top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess to drain completely. Reduce watering in winter months when growth slows.
• Maintain moderate humidity around 50-60% for optimal growth. Group with other plants or use a humidity tray indoors.
• Keep temperatures between 18-24°C for best performance. Protect from frost and extreme heat during Australian summers.
• Pinch back growing tips regularly to encourage bushier growth and more flowering stems throughout the growing season.

• Aphids can cluster on new growth and flower buds - spray with insecticidal soap or introduce beneficial insects like ladybirds. Check regularly during warmer months.
• Root rot from overwatering causes yellowing leaves and musty soil smell. Improve drainage and reduce watering frequency immediately.
• Whiteflies may appear on leaf undersides, causing sticky honeydew. Use yellow sticky traps and neem oil spray for control.
• Fungal leaf spots develop in humid conditions with poor air circulation. Remove affected leaves and improve ventilation around the plant.
