Also make sure you dead-head all the spent blooms. If you don't, the plant puts its energy toward the seed production from those earlier flowers.

Repotted mature geraniums initially gave us large flowers, now the buds and flowers are much smaller, why?
They were probably dosed with a high phosphorus foliar fertilization at the greenhouses before they were shipped to be sold. This is a inexpensive way to make a greenhouses plants look nice for sale. Once they are established in their new location (and you are sure they are through the root shock of being planted) you can use a Bloom Booster fertilizer on them to see if they just need a little more P. Shultz makes a very good liquid bloom booster. (The numbers should be something like 10-50-10.)
