Whilst geraniums are resting - indeed, whilst ALL plants are resting - I stop feeding and cut watering back to bare essentials. Most plants need a rest at some stage. This geranium, just discussed is producing new flower buds, indicating its winter break is over and feeding can be resumed, with watering as appropriate.The plant will not yet be in full growth. But it should appreciate a snack to keep it going whilst it prepares for the year ahead. Best not to feed at full strength. Have given a small amount of 'Phostrogen' liquid feed at quarter strength. This will supply minerals and vitamins, plus some nitrogen to help growth.
You can give a high nitrogen feed like 'Baby Bio', but you need to be careful not to change things too quickly. Remember the geranium from last year?
Just give it a sniff (1/8 strength) and see what happens. You can always add more.
