How to grow Red Geranium seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last expected frost.
• Outdoors: Transplant outdoors only after all danger of frost has passed and nights stay warm.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots
• Well-draining potting mix
• Humidity dome or plastic wrap (helps keep the mix evenly moist)
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Cover seeds with a thin layer of vermiculite or fine mix, about 1/4 inch deep — light is not required for germination.
• No special pre-treatment needed.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light once seedlings emerge.
• Temperature: 70–75°F (21–24°C) for germination.
• Humidity: Keep the mix evenly moist until sprouting; remove the dome once seedlings appear.

Germination

• Seedlings typically emerge in 7–21 days.
• Grow young seedlings in bright light at cooler room temperatures, around 60–65°F.

Transplanting

• Transplant when seedlings have 2–3 sets of true leaves and all frost danger has passed.
• Harden off for 7–10 days before planting out.
• Space plants 8–12 inches apart in beds, or one plant per 6–8 inch pot.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sun daily).
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry; avoid soggy soil.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 2–4 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
• Pinch the growing tips of young plants to encourage branching and more flower heads.

Bloom Time:

Early summer to first frost.
