Beautify garden rooms without costing the earth
Description
Different varieties of colourful geranium make this table display on the patio a real eyecatcher. The flower pots set into the tabletop make this homemade lounge table a decorative highlight. To make this project, use a jigsaw to cut round holes in a tabletop. Measure these so the flower pots can sit in them at the desired height. Remove the pots to water them and allow them to drain well before replacing. Tip: Use containers without a drainage hole to protect the floor from dirt. A drainage layer and careful watering will prevent the plants getting waterlogged. With abundant blooms and bright colours, geraniums are the epitome of summer. Geraniums have a wide variety of colours, leaves, flowers and growth habits. To ensure these easy-care plants thrive, make sure you plant them in large enough containers, with good quality potting compost and a good drainage system. There’s very little difference between the many cultivars in their requirements for location and care. Plenty of space, plenty of light and regular watering and fertilising are the main requirements for this easy-care beauty to flower non-stop from spring to autumn.
