It’s a Pelargonium. Just cut them off and poke in the compost, keep only just damp, don’t over water. I’ve never left them to harden off. Some people have successfully rooted them in water, I’ve never tried it for fear of them getting soggy and rotting, they don’t like too much water.

I’m a quick potter up too. Mix grit sand or perlite (if you have any) into multi purpose compost. Don’t cover pots in a polythene bag like you’d do with most other soft cuttings. Just keep on a sun free but bright window sill, my cold greenhouse gets too hot. As Lyn said don’t over water they hate sog.
I find pelargonium cuttings root very easily at this time of year
