What is the best way to make cuttings from an overgrown geranium?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

Really easy. Just find a springy greenish piece at the top (stay away from the woody bottom parts) cut off w. knife (I just snap them off) and stuff in a small pot of decent soil. I have been milking the same few geraniums for years. If there are flowers or buds, cut them off, and strip off all but 4-6 small leaves. If leaves are giant, cut them in half w. scissors.. An old HS biology fool-proof experiment. You might even be able to root leaves..but use dirt and not water. I let mine sit in a sunny room that gets up to about 70? when sun is actually out.
