we have a geranium plant that probably needed to be deadheaded a WHILE ago.. however I didn't know about this until I came to this forum.. I also thought deadheading them anytime was fine.. however I found out you need to do this before they make the seeds.. The blooms on the geraniums were very dried out.. but some WEREN't making seeds yet. however it has been about 2-3 weeks and I do not see ANY blooms at ALL.
I apply Osmocote 14-14-14 as a top dressing 2 tablespoons to a 12 pot in May and again in July. You could use the same amount in your 14 pot. I also apply 15-15-15 in water 1/2 strength with every watering. Triple 20 is ok but I would apply it more often since geraniums are strong feeders. I don't like to grow geraniums in shallow bowls. Geraniums like to grow deep roots... Bob.
