Planting & Care

To root your unrooted geranium cuttings, prepare a well-draining rooting medium such as a mix of peat and perlite. Remove the lower leaves from each cutting, dip the cut end in rooting hormone if desired, and insert it into the medium. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright, indirect light. Roots typically form within a few weeks. Once rooted, transplant the cuttings into individual pots or directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Geraniums prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hot climates. Water regularly during the growing season, but avoid overwatering as they are susceptible to root rot. Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer to encourage continuous blooming. Deadhead spent flowers to promote new blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.
