every time I have taken cuttings I try putting them in unheated green hse or kitchen windowsill..they die.. or rot off or get leggy... tried for yrs & yrs..
so now I dont bother.. any advice for a mature person who cannot over winter things...
Sorry -have to disagree-I would not cover pelargoniums with a polythene bag-that encourages high humidity and rotting-once that has started to can't stop it
Christopher2 I am interested in starting my own nursery and wonder if you could pass on some advice. What were your top sellers and what sort of margins did you work to. Is there any tips that you can pass on?
christoher2 thanks so much for the advice, I am in Exmouth so if we have a mild winter it should be ok here. I do grow my own plants and i suppose i could divide a lot more plants in the garden to start to stock the nursery.i am trying to decide whether to concentrat on bedding plants or to go for more expensive perennials.my main concern is not pricing so low that i do not make a profit and also how i am going to find the customers as i do not live on a busy street.

Jean what percentage grit/perlite do you use?

As I've been lumbered with looking after a friend's exotic pelargonium collection, think I will try propagating them as some are very pretty indeed.
