SME 0.9–1.3 mS/cm Comments: Geraniums are irradiance plants so the more light they receive the faster they will flower. Under short days or cloudy conditions it is beneficial to provide supplemental lighting of around 400 foot candles (4,000 lux) especially in the plug tray to speed up flowering. All geraniums are especially sensitive to bacterial diseases so be sure to start with clean plug trays, media and propagation areas. Geranium seed does not carry bacterial diseases so if you start clean you can stay clean. Do not subirrigate or use recycled water. Media pH should not drop below 6.0 or the plants may suffer from iron and/or manganese toxicity.
