geranium cuttings??
« on: May 10, 2010, 12:43 »
last year I took cuttings of my geraniums and grew them on in my conservatory (first time) but they are a bit "leggy" I pinched out the fuchsias and they are fine but I am not sure how to do this with geraniums to make them bushy?
some people are like slinkys......they're really good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face as you push them down the stairs!!

Yes or you can cut a bit more off them and then you would have cuttings from your cuttings  :)
They root really quickly at this time of year.

If you cut just above a node they will shoot from that point.

I would then cut of the section of stem under the next node on the bit you cut off before using it as another cutting. Thsi spare bit might rot otherwise  :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Is it a true geranium or a pelargonium?  Sometimes we gardeners get them muddled up.
