A Beginner's Guide to Growing Scented Leaf Pelargoniums (December 12, 2011)
Below is is a copy of the leaflet that we include with the plants when an Order is dispatched. This is aimed at the Beginner to Growing and is a basic guide to help get individuals started. There are lots of further help and growing tips on our website either in articles in the Hot Topics section or HERE. You are also welcome to Contact Us direct and we'll send you a personal reply. It's a good idea to send us a photo if you need help as we can usually identify what the problem might be far better this way than through written text.
From Feedback we have received over the past couple of years it has become increasingly clear that when a plant fails to perform it is 99.999% due to improper Customer care. Each and every single plant is carefully selected and checked prior to dispatch and is without exception healthy and well rooted. If the following basic guide is adhered to this will ensure that all plants get off to a good start. We would suggest that anyone who is new to growing plants does take the time to read through our website and refer back to it from time to time.
Good Luck and Happy Growing!!

GROWING SCENTED LEAF PELARGONIUMS
A quick reference guide to basic care information
Have a question? Please use the Contact Us page on our website
The No. 1 reason for a plant’s demise is due to neglect by its Owner. It’s a fact.
Scented Leaf Pelargoniums are not a difficult group of plants to grow but they will require basic, simple care. Getting any plant off to a good start is vital as it will not perform well if it isn’t looked after.
When your plants arrive
- It is important that the box is opened as soon as possible to provide light and air + water if required
- It is recommended that plants are potted without delay; or outside during the frost free months planted in the garden or containers
What you will need for indoor planting
Plant pots – what size to pot into?
- The general rule is that you look at the plant and pick a pot that is slightly larger.
Plants grow
- SLP’s do put on growth quite rapidly from March right through to as late as November ( UK).
- Observe and move the plant on to a larger pot when needed.
- It’s a good idea to occasionally tip out the root ball from the plant pot and if the roots look really congested, move into a larger pot.
- From Customer Feedback we know that the biggest problem is that plants are not moved on into larger pots and we are then asked why they are dying!! Small pots for large plants is like adults wearing babygrows!
Watering & Feeding
- If growing in plant pots watering should always be from the bottom – further information on how to do this is on our website
- All plants require feeding, both indoors and outdoors. If you are new to growing start with a diluted tomato feed, once a week during the growing season. Further information on Feeding is on our website.
The above is intended as a quick guide for anyone who is new to growing plants. Expertise comes with practice and maybe a few disasters but all Growers have to learn and start somewhere.
We recommend that you refer back to our website from time to time and read the Hot Topics articles and Scented Geranium Care page, which aim to be informative.
