Massed in beds or used as border plants, geraniums have a dramatic impact. Incorporate about 25 pounds of organic matter such as peat moss, compost, or Black Kow into the planting bed.
Compost helps increase the water and nutrient holding capacity of soils.
If you prefer, geraniums can be grown in containers. Cottony cushion scale is very damaging to pittosporum plants. It can suck the life out of small or large branches. This weakens the plant and may eventually lead to its death. Cottony cushion is a soft scale which secretes a waxy covering over its body, like a tent.
