Secrets of proper cultivation of tulip-shaped pelargonium Red Pandora


Pink Rambler: main features of the variety

The buds of Pink Rambler bloom gradually; after full opening, they retain the correct shape of miniature garden roses.

The inflorescences look impressive due to the combination of a thick pink shade on the inside of the petal and an almost white underside.

The size of the buds is quite large - 4-5 cm in diameter, the caps are formed dense and retain freshness for a long time, without falling off.

Pelargonium Pink Rambler grows a powerful, well-leafed bush with virtually no formation.

To obtain a lush crown, periodic pinching and spring pruning as needed is sufficient. The variety does not expose the trunk and remains decorative in adulthood.

The contrast zone on the leaves appears in sunny conditions - in such conditions Pink Rambler will show itself in all its beauty.

The green mass of pelargonium is rich green and against its background the blossoming inflorescences immediately catch the eye.

Good feeding for this variety is extremely important, since if all the necessary components are received, Pink Rambler lays a large number of flower buds.

In addition, the hats turn out to be lush and stuffed, rose to rose.

Pink Rambler does not show its potential immediately, which is typical for rosebud varieties. It blooms later than other zonal pelargoniums, but the delay is fully compensated by the beauty of the buds.

The plant must be propagated vegetatively - this guarantees the transmission of all varietal characteristics.

Cuttings easily take root in loose substrate; if desired, they can be pinched so that the crown begins to branch at a young age.

Growing rules

Pink Rambler needs conditions typical for zonal pelargoniums, that is, good lighting and warm content, a nutritious, but at the same time loose, permeable substrate.

Thus, growing Pink Rambler pelargonium comes down to several points:

  • Lighting. It is preferable to have well-lit window sills that are exposed to the sun for several hours a day. It is advisable to shade the pots on the south side so that the leaves do not suffer from burns; it is better not to grow them on northern windows.
  • Watering. It is necessary to moisten the soil constantly, as the top layer of the substrate dries, but always in moderation. The earthen lump should neither dry out nor become waterlogged.
  • Trimming. To obtain a compact bush with a harmonious crown, pelargonium must be pruned. Strong shortening of shoots is carried out at the end of February, sanitary pruning is carried out as necessary. Pinching the apical and lateral cuttings is also required.
  • Feeding. During the period of bud formation and flowering, Pink Rambler must be fed using fertilizers for geraniums or compositions for flowering indoor plants.

Like other zonal pelargoniums, Pink Rambler loves fresh air and ventilation, but reacts negatively to drafts.

For this reason, with the onset of warm weather, the bush is taken out to the balcony, veranda or loggia, creating flower arrangements and always returning it to the apartment before the cold weather.

The optimal temperature for growing and flowering Pink Rambler geranium is between +17-+23 degrees.

When the temperature drops below +12, the plant stops developing and often dies from hypothermia of the root system.

The Pink Rambler variety will decorate your windowsill, delighting you with lush flowering if grown correctly.

Where and how to plant?

To grow this plant, it is best to give preference to flowerpots with a height of 10-15 cm and a diameter of 12-14 cm and always with drainage holes. If you plant a flower in a container that is too loose, it will not bloom, but in a small container it will not develop.

The most suitable material for a pot is ceramics - in such a container the soil maintains a certain temperature, and the air is distributed evenly throughout it.

You should not choose a plastic or, especially, a transparent flowerpot. It is not known exactly why this happens, but in such containers the plant becomes very sick. If you plan to plant several pelargoniums in one pot at once, then its diameter should be 22-25 cm. In summer, you can plant pelargonium near the house, in ordinary turf soil.

Important! Pelargonium should be kept in a shaded place for two weeks after planting.

Lighting and location

The flower needs diffused sunlight, the most suitable place is the windowsill of an eastern window. If the plant is located on the sunny side of the room, it must be shaded, as it does not tolerate direct sunlight.

You need to ensure that there are no changes in air temperature in the room where the flower is located. There is no need to place pelargonium on the windowsill, under which there is a radiator, and to ventilate the room in the cold season, otherwise the plant may get sick. Pelargonium Red Pandora grows well on a glassed-in terrace with moderate amounts of light and plenty of air.

The flower is afraid of rain, wind and drafts, so as soon as cold weather sets in, it must be brought into the house.

Soil requirements


Tulip pelargonium needs fertile soil - turf or compost. The best soil mixture, especially for a young plant, is sand, peat, humus and compost soil in equal proportions.

For adult flowers, a mixture of compost, peat substrate, pine soil and humus is suitable. The main thing is to ensure that the soil is not too dense. You should not add a lot of peat to the soil. The root system rots if water stagnates in the soil.

Stories of the creation of the Pink Rambler variety

Pelargonium Pink Rambler is a member of the Pelargonium x hortorum family. This plant was first bred in France in the 19th century. It appeared in Russia at the same time. This variety was bred through random crossing, as a result of which a mutation occurred. Flower growers in England immediately fell in love with the new variety and began making unusual bouquets and boutonnieres from the buds.

Flowering period

The inflorescences of geraniums, which have a multi-colored color, appear a little later than in other species. The flowering period depends on proper care, watering and fertilization. Most often, the plant blooms from spring to early autumn. During the season, one bush can produce more than 20 beautiful flowers. The inside of the buds is pink or red. The outer part of the petals is painted white.

Features of cultivation

When growing, it is necessary to follow agrotechnical rules. These include: proper planting, subsequent care and reproduction.

Landing rules

In order for the plant to quickly take root, it is best to purchase a ready-grown seedling. It should not be planted in too light soil. Geranium loves loose soil that is not too rich in nutrients. Plant sparsely, per 1 sq. m, 10 small seedlings are enough.

Pelargonium variety Pink Rambler loves sunlight, so it should not be planted near tall plants. For the first 7 days, the seedling needs to be watered abundantly so that the roots begin to actively grow.

Important! There is no need to introduce fertilizing so as not to burn the still thin rhizome.

Rules of care

After rooting, pelargonium is watered no more than three times a week. Watering too frequently can harm the plant. Those inflorescences that have already bloomed are cut off so that the plant can direct all its energy to new buds. The plant needs to be fed only on warm days, when the mark on the thermometer does not fall below +14 degrees. In winter, geraniums are allowed to rest: watering is reduced and they are put in a dark place without applying fertilizers.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Reproduction

During the period from August to September, pelargonium is propagated by cuttings:

  1. To do this, you need to cut vertical shoots from the mother plant so that they have 2-3 internodes, remove the inflorescences from them, and then place the cuttings in a mixture of “Kornevin” and crushed coal to dry.
  2. After this, the cuttings need to be planted in a moist substrate.
  3. A young plant should be watered regularly and carefully - along the edge of the flowerpot and only when the soil dries out.
  4. When the roots appear, the pelargonium needs to be transplanted into a ceramic pot with a drainage layer and turf soil.

In case of propagation of pelargonium by seeds:

  1. It is necessary to plant them in boxes in January or February, placing them on the surface of the soil and lightly sprinkling them.
  2. After which the box must be covered with film, creating greenhouse conditions.

On our Internet portal you will find information about the bright grandiflora, the unusual star flower, the flower princess Clara Sun, the fragrant Angel, the Australian rosebud, rare sunny or yellow varieties, the capricious beauty Patricia Andrea, the delicate Bold, the popular Zonartik and the spectacular Richard Hudson.

Red Pandora is an easy-to-care variety of tulip-shaped pelargonium, suitable even for a beginner. However, even such unpretentious flowers can be susceptible to diseases and pests, which can destroy them, so even at the slightest sign of infection, measures must be taken to save the plant. With proper care, pelargonium will delight its owners with the beauty and unusualness of its flowers.

Features of rosebud pelargoniums

Rosebud pelargonium, known to many, is included in the group of zonal plants. Today, many varieties of this amazing flower have been bred, but they are all united by one key characteristic: the petals of the plant are double, and there are so many of them that they do not even open completely, thereby even more reminiscent of the queen of flowers - the rose. This variety has a striking resemblance to the roses loved by many.

What’s interesting is that sometimes you can tell just by the shape of the leaves what exactly you’re dealing with, so pink-shaped pelargonium looks like the queen of flowers in the garden. A characteristic feature of the plant is the fact that the inflorescences are odorless. The shrub itself is inconspicuous in appearance; its main decoration is considered to be its stunningly beautiful small buds. Such a hybrid has been known since the 18th century. True, the plant was bred due to a random mutation.

Only years later did breeders give this variety a complete aesthetic appearance. Caring for such pseudo-roses is not particularly difficult. Study the basic recommendations of experts, and you can safely plant a plant on your site. Remember: if you prefer garden varieties of rosebud pelargonium, the varieties will need to be updated every 4-5 years, since over time they may lose their lushness and flowering intensity.

Description of appearance

The plant grows to medium size and resembles a small bush . It blooms regardless of the season. Its large flowers, growing in inflorescences, resemble tulip buds in shape and have a coral-red color. The leaves are rich green, covered with a light down, which creates a velvety effect.

The peculiarity of the plant is that the flower petals are very thin and do not bloom until they dry out, so they form an unopened bud. The buds are collected in large inflorescences and resemble a small bouquet.

Rules of care

Pelargonium blooms amazingly beautifully. But in order for this plant to delight you with the variety of blossoming buds, you need to competently approach the implementation of the most important agricultural techniques. Home care primarily includes moderate watering and protection from direct sunlight.

Neglect such recommendations, and the leaf blade will fade, the shrub itself will not look very lush and aesthetically pleasing, and the intensity of flowering will noticeably decrease. It is very important to properly moisten the plant substrate. If we are talking about home pelargonium, it is necessary not to overdo it with soil irrigation. Be sure to check the soil moisture level. Test the soil with your finger - if there is still soil on it, you can wait a little with watering. Otherwise, proceed to moisten the substrate.

Pelargonium can bloom not only on your windowsill, but also on the balcony or in the garden.

However, take into account the fact that prolonged severe frosts are not the best conditions for wintering a plant. It is advisable that temperatures do not fall below +10 °C. In this case, pelargonium will wait until next spring without any problems.

How to properly care?


  1. This variety of geranium is easy to care for. Following simple rules will help you grow a healthy plant, which will delight you with its flowers in the second year.

  2. Pelargonium does not like heat, so it is important to provide it with the correct temperature conditions. So, in summer the temperature should not be higher than 25 degrees, and in winter – higher than 20. At higher temperatures, the plant withers and does not grow for a long time.
  3. Also, the plant feels best in diffused light, but in winter it is not enough, and therefore additional lighting will not be superfluous.
  4. The watering regime differs in summer and winter. In the cold season, rare watering is allowed, in the warm season - vice versa. However, moisture stagnation should not be allowed, as this leads to diseases and rotting of the roots.
  5. In order for the plant to grow as a lush bush, they resort to cutting off the tops of the shoots. This way the geranium will produce side shoots, which will allow it to form a beautiful shape. This procedure is stopped before the flowering period begins. Young pelargoniums bloom the most magnificently and beautifully. To do this, the plant is propagated every year.
  6. However, an old plant will bloom well if it is properly prepared for winter. To do this, geraniums are removed from the ground, roots and shoots are cut off, and then transplanted into new soil. In the spring, the plant renewed in this way will bloom no worse than the young ones.
  7. To extend the flowering period, use liquid fertilizers with potassium.
    They provide abundant flowering until the very end of summer. In addition, drying flowers are removed for the same purpose. Important ! Pelargonium reacts painfully to high salt content, so fertilizing with a lower dose of fertilizer is suitable for it.

The best varieties

There are very, very many flowering varieties of pelargonium bred by breeders. Among the most popular are pelargonium varieties Rosebud supreme, Red scarlet, Snow and Arctic. Consider the key characteristics of the most popular varieties of rosacea geraniums in order to have only exceptional varieties in your garden:

  • Pelargonium Vectis rosebud. A mature shrub that looks miniature, but looks very attractive. In addition, such a plant is not difficult to form. Among the main advantages of the variety is lush and long-lasting flowering. The roses have a bright red hue. Interestingly, the petals on the outside are slightly lighter than on the inside. Having planted such a shrub in your garden plot, you will admire its flowering for a long time;
  • Pink rambler. Just like pelargonium, the Red Rambler variety is considered one of the most famous flower varieties. This shrub is very bright and lush, its leaves have a corrugated shape, and the flowers are bright pink with a hint of red. The true charm of this specimen is given by the exceptional shape of the petals, as well as the presence of a lighter shade on their front side;
  • Pelargonium Bornholm. On such a shrub, the flowers open rather slowly. They have a rich red hue, and the texture is very satin-like in appearance. Be patient until this geranium blooms completely. But in the future she will not shed her beautiful buds for a long time. However, flowers are not the only advantage of the variety. Flower growers often pay attention to the amazing mesh pattern on the leaves of the plant;
  • pelargonium variety Vit rosen. The flowers of this specimen are rich white in color, but at the base the petals have a greenish tint. They are double, so they form very lush inflorescences;
  • pelargonium variety Arctic snow. It is not difficult to guess what color the petals of this relatively young variety are. However, a characteristic feature of the plant in the “snow” shade is the star-shaped shape of the petals, which can be covered with stripes;
  • Pelargonium domestica Black pearl. This zonal plant forms voluminous, lush inflorescences of raspberry-red color. When the buds just open, they have a predominant burgundy color. Such a flower is considered finicky to care for (for example, the shape of a bush is difficult to shape), but it blooms incomparably.

Whatever variety of pelargonium you prefer - Red Scarlet, Arctic Snow or Red Rambler - this flower will become an original decoration for your blooming corner, because its beauty is in no way inferior to even a rose.

Common diseases and pests

The Red Pandora variety itself is quite unpretentious and disease resistant . However, there are still cases when pelargonium gets sick. For proper treatment, first of all, it is necessary to identify the pathogen. Most often, geraniums are affected by such pests as gray rot (gray spots, as if powder had been poured onto the leaves), whitefly, mealybugs, spider mites (a dense thin web appears between the leaves) and rust (appears as white circles and affects mainly the leaves).


All of them are the result of improper care.
Often the stems and leaves of the plant begin to turn red, which is mistakenly taken for a disease. In fact, this is not entirely true. A reddish tint appears when geraniums freeze .
This signals that she needs more warmth. Even if there is only a suspicion of a plant disease, do not delay treatment. Infection occurs very quickly, and now, instead of just one, all your geraniums are sick. To treat rot and rust, the affected leaves are removed and the plant is treated with antifungal drugs. To combat ticks, use a special product that is sold in flower shops.
