Similarities and differences between the two varieties
Representatives of the aristocracy among geraniums, Ingrid Grycksbo pelargonium and Ingrid pelargonium, look similar to each other, but have some varietal differences.
Pelargonium Queen Ingrid is the real pride of any gardener
Both are classified as dwarf zonal and are highly decorative. However, Ingrid Grixbo's pelargonium flowers have a richer orange hue. In the middle there is a snow-white core. The leaves are unevenly colored: the central part is light green, the edges are rich in color. The bush itself is neat and does not need shaping.
Description of pelargonium Queen Ingrid:
- Large double flowers. The petals are soft pink, often decorated with green or white spots, but can also be monochrome.
- The leaves are rich green, the shade is uniform over the entire surface.
- The root system is branched.
The flowering period is from early March to the second half of October.
Note! For long-lasting elegant flowering, it is important to keep the bush in the cold during the winter months (December and January)
History of appearance and description of the variety

This type of peony does not need moisture, so there is no need to spray the flower. Periodically, the crop needs to be well watered, but in no case should the liquid stagnate. Therefore, care should be taken about drainage.
Pelargonium can be fertilized with standard mineral fertilizers for indoor plants; it does not tolerate organic matter.
All about pelargoniums Odensjo

Diseases and pests
In general, all pelargoniums are characterized by resistance to disease; they are completely unpretentious. The main reasons for poor health are considered to be non-compliance with the watering regime, insufficient or excessive air humidity. A plant weakened by these factors can be attacked by viruses and insects - aphids, mites, caterpillars.
To prevent serious problems, you should take care of the flower. The affected leaves must be removed; new shoots will appear in their place later.
It is not surprising that the Odensjo Symfonia group of pelargoniums was loved by the aristocrats of the 18th century. All flowers are distinguished by their lush bloom, unique aroma and unpretentiousness, combined with high decorativeness.
Diseases and pests, combating them
The flower is quite resistant to diseases and is not capricious. The most common reasons for the poor state of culture:
- improper watering or air humidity;
- virus infection;
- attacks by mites, aphids and caterpillars;
- bacterial infections.
The main way to prevent problems is timely care and maintenance, and treatment is carried out by carefully removing diseased leaves. New shoots will appear in their place.
Odensjo Symfonia pelargonium is distinguished not only by its amazing flowers that can delight almost the whole year, but also by its original aroma. This unpretentious and at the same time beautiful flower was a favorite of aristocrats in the 18th century.
Planting Pelargonium Lake
Lake - pelargonium is unpretentious, but it is important to choose optimal conditions for the plant
Choosing a place and pot
Like all house geraniums, Laque prefers light areas on the south side
However, it is very important to protect the “green pet” from direct UV rays by lightly shading with tulle. A draft is unacceptable, but the crop loves fresh air, so constant ventilation must be ensured.
The pot should be selected based on the size of the bush, taking into account the fact that this geranium does not like “relocation”. Rounded models up to 15 cm in diameter and up to 20-30 cm in height look beautiful. But these dimensions are relevant for an adult plant. To plant the cuttings, you can choose a regular plastic cup.
Note! The diameter of the container should not be too large, otherwise pelargonium will begin to develop a root system, which will affect the green mass and flowering
A very beautiful plant will certainly respond to proper care and will thank the grower with stunning caps of inflorescences
Priming
A drainage layer is required, for example, from gravel, expanded clay, vermiculite. It will help prevent the roots from rotting. You can buy ready-made soil for geraniums. Or mix it yourself from turf, humus and coarse river sand.
Reproduction
It is carried out in two ways - seeds and cuttings. The first option is considered the most difficult; it is almost impossible to obtain seed material on your own; they should be purchased from a reliable flower growing store. It is much easier to pick a cutting from the mother bush and root it. Sequencing:
Carefully cut off 1-2 top shoots up to 8 cm long from the donor plant. Place them in the Epin growth stimulator. Plant in nutritious soil, water carefully and cover with a plastic bottle to maintain temperature and humidity.
Ventilate the sprouts every day and moisten them if necessary.
Diseases and pests
Yellowed pelargonium leaves indicate that the plant does not have enough light. If they begin to wither and fall off, then this is a sure sign of waterlogging in the soil; the plant must be promptly replanted.
Note! The main pests of the variety are aphids and whiteflies; complex insecticides are used to get rid of them. Such is the amazing pelargonium, Quinn Ingrid, whose soft pink double flowers really evoke associations with something regal and aristocratic
And the Grixbo variety, with its brightly colored petals, can compete with almost any domestic flower

Pelargonium Odensjo Symfonia - description
Pelargonium is a plant that beginning gardeners mistakenly associate with geranium. In fact, although both flowers belong to the same family, they are different in their genus, and therefore cannot be crossed. Another important point: geranium is native to the northern regions, and pelargonium is native to the southern regions. However, it is not so much the origin that is important, but the differences in the requirements regarding the maintenance and care of plants. Gardeners call one of the most beautiful representatives of pelargonium such a group of plants as pelargonium Odencio Symphony.
