How to fill out pourthru guidelines for geraniums

How to fill out pourthru guidelines for geraniums:

1. Begin by selecting a suitable container for your geraniums. It should have drainage holes at the bottom to allow excess water to escape.
2. Fill the container with a well-draining potting mix. This will ensure that water flows freely through the soil during the pourthru process.
3. Gently place your geraniums in the container, ensuring that the roots are covered with soil but the crown of the plant is left exposed.
4. Water the geraniums thoroughly until water drains out from the bottom of the container. This is to ensure that the soil is fully saturated.
5. Wait for a few minutes to allow the excess water to drain completely.
6. Place a collection tray or saucer beneath the container to catch any excess water that drips out during the pourthru process.
7. Position the container on a raised surface, such as bricks or blocks, to allow air circulation and prevent waterlogging.
8. After approximately 15-30 minutes, pour more water through the container, ensuring that it flows through the soil and collects in the collection tray.
9. Use a pitcher or watering can with a narrow spout to pour the water slowly and evenly to avoid displacing the soil or damaging the plant.
10. Monitor the water collected in the tray. Pourthru guidelines suggest that the optimal range for geraniums is to have approximately 20-30% of the water initially poured through the container to collect in the tray.
11. If more than 30% of the water collects in the tray, it indicates that the soil is not well-draining, and adjustments should be made to the potting mix or container.
12. Conversely, if less than 20% of the water collects in the tray, it suggests that the soil is too dry and needs more water during regular watering.
13. Repeat the pourthru process whenever you water your geraniums, ensuring that excess water is always allowed to drain out.
14. Regularly monitor your geraniums for signs of underwatering or overwatering, such as wilting or yellowing leaves, and adjust your watering routine accordingly.
