Title: Plug pelargoniums, how to grow on please
Post by: carosanto on May 06, 2010, 14:30:03
Hi Y'All

I got a bargain lot of bright red (I hope) pelargoniums to fill up my many tubs out on my little bit of decking.  I got loads (70!) and almost immediately transferred them to slightly bigger cells. To my surprise and delight they have really flourished and are now all potted up in 3 inch pots (with many given away!).

Question. They are all now about 4-5 ins tall, and really strong little plants.  Do I pinch out the growing tips?  These are just ordinary common or garden pelagoniums, nothing special, but they have done so well I would like to get the best out of them.

Thanks in advance

Caro

No they don't need pinching out, just harden them off before planting out  :)

Thanks Simon, I was hoping that was the case!

It sounds like you'll have a beautiful mass of brightness out there, Caro. Don't forget to post us a picture, will you?
