Why and how to pick leaves from geraniums
main reason
The yellowed leaves of this plant need to be removed, since the flower spends a lot of energy on them, and everything is in vain. Geranium can use the same forces to form new flowers. To help the plant don’t waste energy, you should regularly get rid of old yellowed leaves. By the way, they can even be of a natural color (this happens when the geranium is not on the sunny side).

Yellowness appeared on all the leaves: what to do
If the geranium is on the windowsill south side, there is a high probability that over time all its leaves will turn yellow. This also happens with a plant that does not receive the required amount of water. Geranium reacted to excessive sunlight with yellowing leaves and poor flowering? It’s time to get down to business.
Leaves must be removed very carefully, without using any special devices. We cut them off with our hands without the help of scissors. It is worth considering that the leaves (even the oldest and lifeless ones) hold on very tightly. Therefore, during cutting, force should be applied, but not overzealous, so as not to damage the plant. Important! Immediately, all the leaves do not need to be removed, even if there is not a single green leaf. Since this will become a very big stress for the flower.

Carry out this procedure 3-4 times per season. In this case, your plant will bloom magnificently, ceasing to spend its energy on old leaves, which will soon completely dry out. Earlier we talked about the healing properties of geraniums, which everyone should know about.
