So, I advised Alain to go on with the treatment in progress,
namely :
1) cutting off all the stems and branches he thought definitively
lost after a too important drying out.
2) going on with the spraying of the stems and watering the compost,
always respecting the same precautions.
It was then necessary to start thinking to the growth of the plant and I asked
Alain to add a modest amount of standard geranium fertilizer to the
water he was using for waterings.
The plant had thus undergone a drastic cut, but not cutting
it immediately had made it possible to keep some parts which, at the beginning,
could have wrongly appeared as definitively lost.
The objective was now for the plant to go gradually back to its
original size, which obviously was not possible in a very short
time.
