I have my zonal geranium here and it seems kind of sad, its flowers are droopy and it doesn’t seem fully rooted in I also repotted it a few weeks ago. Any tips or advice

It doesn’t look as bad as you think to my eye, although maybe no as lush as it could be. I wouldn’t have repotted it at the height of summer, though, that’s going to shock it a little. Maybe just give it some time to recover where it is, and in a few weeks move it closer to the window.

Mine get this way too , make sure they get as much direct sun as possible, let the first top inch or two dry out between waterings, deadhead as needed, prune often this one needs more pruning than most of my other plants,Once this current round of flowering is totally finished, you can pinch or prune back those tall stems just above a leaf node. This will force the plant to branch out from the base, giving you a much fuller, bushier plant with more flowering heads next time around.
