PELARGONIUM CUTTINGS

First of all if there are any flowers take them off by the base of the stem then prepare them as shown in my herbaceous cuttings post the principles for all of this type of cuttings are the same but here I have something that works well with this plant. When you have taken all the available cuttings of the sort that I have shown you up to now. Because regeneration is in comparison to petunias quite slow.
Try this cut down the long stems of course leaving enough for the plant to regenerate into a bushy plant once more and lay them in a seed tray, cover them over with compost, water and stand on a window sill and at every node you will be rewarded with a new plant.
This is a terrific way of getting those extra cuttings because there never seems to be enough cuttings on this plant.
When they are rooted carefully cut the stem between the plants and transplant into pots to grow on ready for planting out into the garden, planter or basket.
Who knows you may even suprise some seasoned gardeners with this one. Just keep an eye on them and success is almost guaranteed.
Till my next post enjoy your gardening.
