Stil waiting for leaves

Posted by garden_grammie SE Pa. (My Page) on

I potted up my geraniums that I wintered over in brown paper bags about a week and a half ago. So far nothing seems to be happening. It doesn't look like leaves are forming. Should I be doing anything? I watered the potting soil in the new containers until it ran out. I have the containers in a west window. Am I being too impatient or should I water the pots again?

RE: Stil waiting for leaves

grammie, Let's be fair to Ma Nature, I think you are expecting a little too much of her.
The sunlight still has a way to go before it gives much influence in creating new growth. I'm betting, in a short time, you should start to see outcroppings on the stems...little nubs of where the leaves will form.

As the plant receives sunlight, it will push growth and get vigorous as it goes along.

Have patience, your plant will come back.

It always has for my 7 plants...5 plants...I lost two over the winter but I'm not regretting their passing, I have seen some new varieties that I must have for '06.

You were right!!!!! My plants are beginning to wake up!! Thanks so much for the great information. I can't tell you how appreciative I am. When I first potted those babies I was hoping they would come back and wow! they did. Thanks again for the great step by step posting.
