Fertilize: Use a phosphorus-rich fertilizer for pelargoniums 'Red Cascade' before blooming (5-10 g for 8 in pots) and after flowers wither. Apply liquid fertilizer via irrigation or bury granular fertilizer at the pot's edge. Monitor growth for 6-9 months; replenish nutrients if signs of malnutrition appear.

Pruning: Pelargoniums 'Red Cascade' is a trailing perennial featuring vibrant red blooms. Prune in early to late spring for bushier growth and more flowers. Cut back leggy stems and dead foliage. Regular pruning maintains shape and prevents woody growth, enhancing flowering and rejuvenating older plants.
