ðą How to Care for Hooded-leaf Pelargonium to Prevent Grey Mould?
ð§ How to Water
Water deeply then allow the soil to dry out before watering again; this plant is drought-tolerant and far more likely to suffer from overwatering than underwatering.
âïļ Lighting
Give it full sun to abundant bright, direct light - at least a few hours of direct sun a day - for the best flowering and compact growth.

Plant in well-draining, sandy or loamy soil with a slightly acid to neutral pH; heavy, waterlogged soils quickly cause root rot.
