Q: I have bought a few tender geraniums in pots, which I plan to keep on the patio during summer. Is it a good idea to feed them, and if so, how and when should I do it?
A: Tender geraniums, also known as pelargoniums, are a fabulous choice for container gardens. And fertilizing them can promote abundant flowering and healthy foliage, as Autumn Janus from Perfect Plants Nursery points out. According to gardening expert Tony O'Neil, fertilizers also provide essential nutrients that support the resilience of the plants, helping them withstand pests and diseases.
