What causes geranium leaves to turn yellow?

Irina

Tell me why geranium leaves may turn yellow? The store told me that it is not afraid of direct sunlight, but, on the contrary, it will bloom well. But that’s not the case... I put the geranium on the window, and the leaves dry out one after another.. Maybe this has something to do with acclimatization (the flower has been with me for a week)?

And I have repeatedly heard from lovers of indoor plants that very often purchased flowers do not take root in a new place and die. So, it is possible that the degree of illumination of the geranium has nothing to do with it. The leaves may also turn yellow from a lack or excess of moisture.

If you put it on the windowsill now, in winter, then maybe it’s just cold from the glass.... Try replanting it in another soil and removing it from the window sill deep into the room.

I don’t have geraniums, but I do have my own rose – I’ve had it for five years now. The leaves sometimes turn yellow - I just cut them off, new ones grow well. But I also started buying expensive fertilizer and feed it sometimes. Maybe also try to strengthen the trunk itself at the root.

Geranium leaves turn yellow if:

  1. A cramped or small pot in which it grows;
  2. Temperature changes. Have you moved it to a new location?
  3. Excess nitrogen fertilizers.
  4. You water a lot.

In general, the result is this - I’ve already lost 2 geraniums.. But I’m not giving up - I’ll try further.. It seems that I followed all the conditions that you advised me.. But, alas..((

This happens often, especially with geraniums. This occurs when the geranium pot is too small and too tight for the root system.Or the second case, when there is a lot of moisture. Maybe there are other reasons?

Causes of yellowing geranium leaves may be too small a pot and lack of drainage. Geranium is demanding of light; it loves a bright, but not sunny place, as well as moderate air humidity.

Or maybe it's too hot outside your window? In the summer, I cover part of my window with white office paper so that the direct, scorching rays of the sun don’t burn the flowers. When you lie in the sun, you get burned, just like a flower.

It seems to me that the reason is banal. It's just an overflow. Try watering less. As for the small size of the pot, I don’t think that this can be the reason for the leaves to wilt.

Our geranium grew very well and suddenly the leaves began to turn yellow and fall off, there were literally a few left. We don't water the plant often. I thought that finches were pecking, we let them out on - this window, but my wife said that the birds do not touch geraniums.
