Glad to hear it Anita, and hope the geraniums bloom their hearts out for you this year!

Thank you, Laura! Hugely helpful. I will do as you suggested. I already had snipped off most of the red/yellow leaves and haven’t seen any more since, so I’m sure you are right and it was the trauma of changing location (and repotting at the same time, forgot to mention that little detail!) that caused the problem. Thanks, again. I’ll let you know how things evolve.

Hi Anita — those Paris apartment window boxes sound lovely! As for your leaves turning red and yellow… it happens when the plants get stressed. It’s possible that just moving them stressed them a bit — but — they love sun, so I think they will appreciate the sunlight now. Snip off the red and yellow leaves, and apply a slow-release organic fertilizer like Flower-tone by Espoma…or something similar. (Try and stay away from the chemical ones like Miracle-Gro. Those just push out fast growth and don’t really help the plant and soil long-term.) It’s possible your geraniums just need a bit of nutrient food (fertilizer) and after watering them in, let them settle into their new sunny spot. Give them a couple of weeks before worrying. Even too much rain can cause the leaves to be red and yellow — which is what happened in my own situation that I showed in the photos. I hope this helps! Keep me posted!

Thanks SO much for your feedback, Irene! I really appreciate it. Hopefully this will help gardeners who run into these issues. I hope you can stay cool during this horrible heat wave we’re having here in South Jersey. A heat index of 110 degrees today? Ugh!
