Larry, thanks for that bit of information about not wetting the leaves when grown indoors. I have geraniums that I started from seed and I keep losing them when they seem to get 3 or 4 leaves. I do get the leaves wet and I do mist, and I have killed so many of them. Thanks to you, I realize that getting those little leaves wet must be what is doing it. My Confetti is in the process of dying along with my Midnight Reiter and I tried so hard to get them to grow!

Those pictures dissappeared fast!! Kathi

I'm kind of having the same problem. I have my geraniums in pots, I have had difficulty growing things in the ground at my location. I've lived here for 20 years, and my previously GREEN thumb has turned BLACK! I'm trying my hand at container gardening again, and while I thought that geraniums were possibly one of the easiest plants to grow, (from previous experience years ago...) I'm having all kinds of problems. I think that overwatering is one of those problems, which I'm trying to rectify, think I will have to add more sand to my potting mixture, but I'm getting pure white leaves as well. Could it possibly be that my water source contains too much salt? Our community well is drilled into the "marine layer" of the Coast Range in California, geologically speaking, that is..., and the water is very hard, lots of minerals and salts in it, but I have no choice in that. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You may be overfeeding. Ease up on fert and water. It is winter, after all. My pelargoniums barely get watered at all in winter. They just tick over until there’s more light and warmth in the spring.
