Please note that sugar should be used in moderation. Although it is beneficial for plants, it also feeds bacteria. An overdose could accelerate their development   and cause your plants to rot.

Due to the nutrients it provides, sugar can be used in growing geraniums,   as long as it is not exceeded.   Once a month use is sufficient. Any excess runs the risk of producing a counterproductive effect.  Your geraniums may stop growing and rot.   To fertilize your plants with sugar, you can proceed in two different ways. The first method is to sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar directly on the geranium soil. The second method is to dilute a tablespoon of sugar in two cups of water. You will thus obtain a liquid fertilizer that will be useful both   for watering your pelargoniums and for fertilizing them. 

Please note that to obtain vigorous and lush pelargoniums, it is also important   to know their growing conditions,   in order to take good care of these flowering plants. This perennial appreciates partial shade or sunny exposure. Choose a special geranium soil for your cultivation   and water it as soon as the soil dries on the surface.   Water the flowers preferably in the morning. In winter, only water your plants if they are very dry. Furthermore, pelargonium is not hardy and therefore   does not tolerate cold or frost  .   Also, don’t hesitate to regularly prune wilted flowers and yellowing foliage.

That said, thanks to sugar, you will be able to feed your geraniums and fertilize them, as long as you use this ingredient in moderation.
