What is Pelargon?
geraniums are ornamental plants from Africa and the Mediterranean. They are grown in gardens around the world for their imaginative, colorful flowers and general resistance. Geranium is extremely tolerant drought, although they are prone to frost and very cold weather. Most garden shops store several pelargonia cultivars and it is also possible to promote geraniums from cuttings if you know someone with a particularly attractive pattern.
The term "Pelargonia" can be a bit confusing, thanks to the mix in the scientific classification. Two separate plants are known as geraniums. One of them is the family Pelargoium , which includes plants that were originally classified in the family Geranium . Plants are closely related, but have some subtle differences that have led to differentiation in botanical classification, such as symmetrical flowers in real geraniums. Real geraniums are sometimes called perennial geraniums orCranesbills, after their distinctive seeds. Plants in the genus Pelargoium eM> can be known in some areas as Storksbills. The plant pénium has strong, fleshy stems and leaves are often slightly unclear. Many people also noticed a significant odor of geranium; Plants are sometimes grown specifically for this scent, which is very difficult to describe, but very unforgettable. This aromatic oil is used in flavors and perfumes in some areas of the world.
Generally, geraniums will prosper in a sunny place in relatively dry soil. If they become waterlogged, they will not do well and the plants must be covered with frost and cold weather so that they are not damaged. Otherwise, fleshy stems can freeze and rot or break. Some gardeners grow their geraniums in pots so that they can be taken inside in bad weather. Plants also lead very well in a pot.
Depending on the species can be a pelarin plant sometimes quite a sizeKá. Plants tend to echo, rather than upright, and make pleasant harsh boundaries and features. Some species may have varied leaves or flowers, adding some pleasant visual interest and some cultivars are also durable deer. Geranium tends to be well taken to trim and shape, and a large growth custom can be suppressed by early grip of new buds and cropping the stems.
