I've had them out in the garden in their containers for about a fortnight and already two of them have got a stalk and flower buds growing. I'm very pleased with my efforts.Leehttp://peakwalking.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-85366500810399825422011-01-22T12:10:49.117+00:002011-01-22T12:10:49.117+00:00Good luck Mark!

I've found these are really easy to root (and sometimes it is the only way to get an ungainly plant looking nice again).Eliza @ Appalachian Feethttp://www.appalachianfeet.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-38052679583488934992011-01-21T19:19:21.187+00:002011-01-21T19:19:21.187+00:00I love pelargoniums, they are the most rewarding e...I love pelargoniums, they are the most rewarding easy to grow plants, especially here where most of them originate from. I take cuttings, nip off a few leaves and stick them straight into the soil. They all flourish with no further attention. I read somewhere that cuttings take better planted towards the outside of the pot rather than the centre. Why - I can't remember. As I mentioned here they grow with the greatest of ease and even total neglect does not harm them.garden girl in SAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684429162780759994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-8140122306862106552011-01-21T17:41:24.494+00:002011-01-21T17:41:24.494+00:00Wish our garage was frost free!
If you have some ...Wish our garage was frost free!<br /><br />If you have some more material that you can take cuttings from try just popping them straight in compost rather than water first as geraniums often don't like to be too damp. In fact some gardeners take the cuttings and leave them for a few minutes to 'dry up' before popping them in compost.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
