Jordi - Did you usually lose yours during active growing season, or in dormancy? How did they 'go'? What were the symptoms? Mine is indoors under a 400W MH light now (lots of skylight and window light, too). Warmish days (around 70 on avg.) cool nights (down to 50). While it is growing like this, I have been watering when it is dry (that has been about every 5 days or so). Last week, it was at around the 5 day mark and the flower stalk drooped a little. Watered it and it perked right up. I haven't had it long enough to be an expert in growing them, but I am curious about the conditions under which you lost yours.

I usually dont have any problem with them as long they get enough sunshine, but some of the pelargoniums flower more freely than others Ive found. as far as the name goes, there are geraniums and also pelargoniums, theyre closely related but two different plants. most of the ones we grow are pelargoniums from south africa, whereas geraniums are more tolerant of cold climates which the pelargoniums wont cope with. I *think* and im sure someone will correct me, that the proper geraniums come from colder climates in europe?

FrozeBudd, I'll have to give the 'Nano' variety a try, I like the idea of a more compact geranium, especially if I bring them indoors during the winter. Right now, "BullsEye" is my most compact: If I'm ever in Kelowna BC, I'm tempted to stop here: http://www.thegreenery.ca/products/annuals/exotic-geraniums.html . It looks like they had 'Crystal Palace Gem', which has been on my wish list since I've seen it on this forum. Bourban, I am stunned at the variety of scents available in scented leaf geraniums - from nutmeg to oak! If I lived in the states I would be immersed in the Geraniacea.com website, some of the flowers on the scented varieties are very attractive too: http://geraniaceae.com/cgi-bin/listPlants.cgi?major=Pelargoniums&minor=Scented-Leaf . They also have 'Appleblossom Rosebud,' I wonder if it looks as good in person as online? It is the most stunning pelargonium flower I have ever seen.... My variegated types are a little faded/leggy right now because they are indoors. I found the tag, this is indeed Mrs. Pollock: Here is 'Brocade Cherry Night', I hope it blooms, flowers are similar to the double rosebud type in a vibrant dark cherry colour: 'Brocade Fire’ is still standing out, it's the only one blooming even with the limited indoors lighting.
