  • Yellow Leaves on Geraniums

    My geraniums were doing brilliantly in the greenhouse but now they have turned an unhealthy yellow. Any ideas?

    Morning Garvey. Could be nearly anything. Not enough light, not fertilised adequately and just natural replacement of leaves in spring are the obvious ones. Can't tell from just the photo.
    Why didn't Noah just swat those 2 greenflies?

    Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

        Garvey, my geraniums are behaving the same, at this time of year they will have old tired leaves from last season, some leaves that are struggling in between, and then you will have the new seasons spring leaves which will look baby green.
        Don't over water, and just give them a gentle feed. Pick off the leaves that are totally withered.

        And when your back stops aching,
        And your hands begin to harden.
        You will find yourself a partner,
        In the glory of the garden.

          These are plants grown from seed this year. My fear is over watering. All the advice is much appreciated

            Looks like they need a feed.Give them an all purpose liquid fertiliser.

              Geraniums (pelargoniums) like to be dry Let the compost dry out between waterings

                It could be magnesium deficiency. Geraniums and Pelargoniums get yellow leaves when they're short of this. Check out the short vid below, it shows both problem and solution.

                Hope I've helped your poor little plants!
