Variety traits

Trailing habit — Pelargonium peltatum

Pelargonium peltatum (L.) L'Hér.

The trailing habit of Pelargonium peltatum characterizes the plant's ability to form long, drooping stems, which defines its trailing growth type and suitability for hanging baskets.

In the reference 78 varieties crop Ivy-leaf geranium, where this is mentioned in the description.

In relation to Pelargonium peltatum, the concept of trailing habit in breeding practice is replaced by the growth type characteristic, denoted as trailing or cascading. The main quantitative indicator for evaluating this trait is stem length, which varies from 15–20 cm in compact forms to 60–100 cm in vigorous varieties.

The degree of trailing habit determines the requirements for agrotechnics, including the choice of substrate volume and the need for canopy formation through pinching. Due to the physical fragility of elongated stems, an important condition for growing varieties with a high degree of trailing habit is protecting the plants from strong wind exposure.
