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