Good afternoon My name is Yulia, I live in Voronezh. The love for pelargoniums in my case is most likely a hereditary phenomenon. My grandmother, whose pelargoniums grew and bloomed on all the windows, loved them very much. She loved them immensely, every time she watered them she told us how great pelargonium cleanses the air and even tried to treat us with it.. As I remember now, I remember the rolled up leaf that was stuck in my ear, the oil that she herself prepared in a water bath from the leaves and flowers of pelargonium .. And often a kind smile flashes on her face when I remember how she, being a candidate of agricultural sciences and having worked all her life at a research institute, also in the field of agriculture, got angry and angry when one of her neighbors dared to call her pelargoniums geraniums.

I would like to say a big thank you to the forum organizers and all the forum members for being there, for the fact that in them I found interesting and passionate people. For the experience, for the opportunity to admire beautifully grown plants

A special and big THANK YOU to everyone who helped and is helping new and so desirable varieties to settle in my collection

It’s hard to say now which of the pelargoniums was the first and favorite, they always grew in the house, and now each is loved in its own way.

Landing rules

It is advisable to plant this beauty in mid-April or early May, when the soil is already well warmed up. Before planting, it is advisable to rub large Salmon pelargonium seeds a little with fine sandpaper.

High-quality planting material can be purchased in specialized stores.

  1. To plant, you need to fill a wooden box with nutritious soil.
  2. Then make grooves at a distance of 2-3 cm.
  3. Place the seeds every 1.5 cm, lowering them to a depth of 1 cm. The plantings do not have to be sprinkled with soil; it is enough to cover them with film.
  4. Sprouts will appear in 14-20 days. After they have formed 2 leaves, they can be transplanted into containers with a diameter of no more than 10 cm.
  5. Pour the soil to the edges of the pot, and make a depression in the center.

Pelargonium is a light-loving plant, so choose sunny places for planting.

The flower tolerates heat, drought and cold well. It is advisable to feed with fertilizers with a low nitrogen content. The plant does not need careful care, but hypothermia, lack of light and moisture can provoke bacterial wilt.

Make sure there is no stagnation of water and waterlogging of the soil. Remove dried flowers promptly.

Lighting

Homemade Salmon geraniums should be placed on south, south-east and south-west windows. Flowers must be protected from the scorching sun with light curtains.

In winter, if you want to extend the flowering period, you need to provide the plant with lighting. Well-lit places and partial shade are suitable for outdoor bushes.

The soil

"Salmon" prefers loose, breathable soil with low acidity and moderate nutrition.

The substrate must include:

Plants need good drainage so that moisture does not stagnate in the ground.

Reproduction methods

Seeds

  1. The soil must be disinfected with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
  2. Place the seeds on the soil and sprinkle sifted soil on top.
  3. Without watering, cover the seedlings with film and put them in a warm place.
  4. We pick after the appearance of 2-3 leaves.

Cuttings


At the end of winter, many shoots form on the bushes. It is recommended to trim the flower. Excellent material for propagation is only cut fresh and strong shoots.

  1. Carefully cut off the shoot using a blade or knife.
  2. Remove the apical part with 2-3 leaves.
  3. Cut off the lower part and dry the cut area.
  4. The cutting must be kept in the air for at least a couple of hours.
  5. We pre-treat the soil for the cuttings with potassium permanganate solutions.

What you need to know about care

Caring for Salmon pelargoniums involves implementing standard agrotechnical practices.

Watering

Pelargonium Salmon needs moderate watering. It is advisable to water 1-2 times a week. Excess moisture negatively affects the plant. For irrigation you need to use soft and settled water. If water gets on the leaves and petals, it can cause burns.

Feeding

During the flowering period, plants prefer phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. You can use liquid fertilizers or add a long-acting dry granular fertilizer to the soil when planting. In this case, you will not have to worry about regularly feeding your flowers.

When purchasing fertilizer, pay attention to the content of microelements in the mixture. The following are especially important for the plant:

Plants require nitrogen in minimal quantities when buds have not yet formed on the bushes.

Temperature

In summer, Salmon prefers an air temperature of no more than +25 degrees. In winter, the best conditions are a cool, draft-free room with a temperature of +18 to +15 degrees.

Trimming

In order for the plant to be beautiful and lush, it is necessary to give it the desired shape by pinching the tops of young shoots or cuttings.

In the spring, at the beginning of March, young healthy shoots with several leaves more than 5-6 cm long are pruned.

Features of plant flowering

The plant is characterized by lush flowering and excellent decorative properties. To make it more abundant, quality care is required.

The flowering of the crop lasts from spring to autumn. In winter, the plant enters a dormant period. During this period, you need to water it less and eliminate the use of fertilizers.

If Salmon Comtesse does not rest during the cold season, then next season it is unlikely to please the owner with the beauty of lush flowers.

Attention! With proper care, pelargonium will amaze with double inflorescences that form lush clusters. They look very impressive in combination with dark green leaves.


With proper care, the crop blooms magnificently

Diseases and pests

Pelargonium Salmon has good immunity, but if care is not taken care of, the flower can still get sick.

Anthracnose

The main symptom of this fungal disease is spotting. Hairy bumps of different colors appear on the leaves - brown, yellow, red, brown. The defeat of the disease occurs gradually.

  • to save the flower, it is necessary to remove all affected areas;
  • reduce air humidity;
  • treat geranium with natural insecticides: copper sulfate, colloidal sulfur, Bordeaux mixture.

Rust

A sign of rust is oval or round pustules on the inside of the leaf and red spots on the top of the leaf blade.

This fungal disease is provoked by improper watering and excess air humidity.

The affected parts of the flower must be removed and the plant treated with fungicides.

Spotting and curling of leaves

Small spots appear on young leaves, which increase over time. The plant stops flowering. Curling leaves indicate a malnutrition. The veins brighten and the edges dry.

To combat this disease, it is necessary to use healthy plants for propagation, and do not forget to regularly treat your pet with insecticides.

The most dangerous for pelargonium Salmon:

To combat parasites, it is recommended to use the following drugs:

History of origin

South Africa remains the birthplace of the flower. It was in the 16th century that ships began to actively moor to the shores of Africa. Sailors often stopped at the Cape of Good Hope during long voyages. At that time, Europeans were interested not only in the culture of the local population, but also in the flora. Naturalists immediately discovered beautiful and bright pelargonium flowers that grew right under their feet .

ATTENTION : Later, breeders became interested in this type of plant and began to adapt it to new conditions. As a result of breeding work, the pelargonium variety Salmon and many other varieties of this ornamental crop arose.

How to propagate

There are two ways to propagate Simon group pelargoniums: cuttings and seeds. In the first case, all varietal characteristics of the mother bush are preserved, in the second, the grower receives completely new plants.

Cuttings

Many beautiful pelargoniums of this variety are hybrids, which means they can only be propagated at home by cuttings.

We plant cuttings like this:

  • after trimming the bush, select shoots suitable for planting;
  • cut them at a 45 degree angle;
  • wait a while until the cut is covered with a film - it stops releasing juice and becomes dull;
  • plant the cuttings in plastic cups filled with pre-sterilized moist soil;
  • leave the plants to take root in a shaded place until the first leaves appear;
  • After the greenery appears, take the plants to a bright place without direct sunlight.
