This straggly geranium has certainly had a hard time, of late. After recent over-watering, it is now recovering. And the loss of the older leaves has not stopped it flowering. In fact, it's flowering better now than it has done all summer, despite the over-watering, despite becoming pot-bound, and despite not having been fed for over two months (it was fed every third watering in the summer).It seems geraniums (pelargoniums) thrive on a hard time. Provided they are not kept too wet for too long, they will do everything they can to prosper. If ever there was an ambassador for 'hard growing', this plant is it. Careful pruning and watering should now help it build into an attractive plant.
