geranium leaves are red
 

Does anyone know why some of my geranium leaves are bright red? For the last
two winters I have had them in an unheated conservatory where they have been
fine, apart from the red leaves, which seems to gradually spread over the
whole plant and those nearby. Perhaps it is rust? They flower and seem to
thrive through the season once the warm weather arrives.

Guessing (with mine) the cool nights have triggered the plants to quit
producing chlorophyll.

Its the same reason why tree leaves change color in the autumn.

Hi

Geraniums with red leaves have a shortage of Phospherus. Feed them with
plant starter 10-50-10.
