we have a geranium plant that probably needed to be deadheaded a WHILE ago.. however I didn't know about this until I came to this forum.. I also thought deadheading them anytime was fine.. however I found out you need to do this before they make the seeds.. The blooms on the geraniums were very dried out.. but some WEREN't making seeds yet. however it has been about 2-3 weeks and I do not see ANY blooms at ALL.
BEST ANSWER: Water your citronella mosquito plant near the soil surface when the soil feels dry to the touch, and remove dried or yellowed leaves. Deadhead flowers to increase blooming and pinch the stem below the node to encourage your plant to grow in a bushy habit. Citronella plants require neutral to alkaline soil.
