Geraniums are very resistant to heat and do not need much water, in fact, ideally place them to the south to better receive sunlight, but be careful with the extreme heat days because they can damage them, better those days put them to the shade.
As we have said, they do not need much water, therefore, with two or three irrigations a week will be enough, depending on the temperatures. During the winter we can water it when the soil is dry. Add a liquid fertilizer like Green-Top diluted in the irrigations or use the controlled release fertilizer of Vitaterra , with which you will only have to fertilize it twice a year.
Its time of flowering lasts several months and usually goes from April to October and it is in this month when we must prune them.
