what causes yellow leaves on geranium plants?

Answer 1

It sounds like your problem is either too much water or not enough water. Geraniums and begonias like well drained soil. They need a drink, but not moist soil. I water mine once a week, instead of every other day like I do my other flowers and ferns.

Answer 2

Certain plants, like geraniums, naturally have yellow leaves. It's just an older leaf, and past a certain age, they begin to yellow. You may be doing nothing wrong if you have a few yellow leaves.

Answer 3

Yellow leaves on plants are usually an indication of over watering.

Answer 4

When I first started gardening I loved my plants to death! It cost me a lot of money replacing plants every couple of weeks!

Its more than likely too much water. I now wait until the top two inches of my plants gets dry before I water them. You can use a moisture meter to measure the top couple of inches of dirt or you can use your finger.

Hope this helps.
