How To Fertilize Geraniums For Full, Vibrant Blooms All Summer
1: Banana Peel Tea

Chop up some leftover banana peels and soak them in water for 2-4 days straight. Then, take that banana-peel-infused water and water your geraniums with it to give them an easy phosphorus and potassium boost.
You’re free to repeat this every 2-4 weeks, depending on how your geraniums react to it.
2: Crushed Eggshells

If you have eggs every day for breakfast, chances are you probably throw away those eggshells. Well, believe it or not, you can actually make great use of those shells in the garden.
Crush the eggshells into a fine powder and mix them in with your geranium soil for better root health and healthier, stronger stems. Try to do this trick only once per month and not every day.
Curious what else you can feed with this kitchen scrap? Here’s a list of plants that benefit from eggshells and how to use them effectively.
3: Used Coffee Grounds
