how can i stop my geranium plants stems going black after taking the cuting
Keep them on the dry side- do not cover with plastic bag- that increase humidity and leads to rotting-if you can give them bottom heat that is even better-they really are one of the easier plants to propagate
I have had good success wintering over my geraniums in my attached unheated garage. I am careful to keep my garage door closed except for brief entrance/exit. I water about 1 per month. Take them out in mid spring, fertilize, & they look great in a short time. Located in S E MIchigan.
I took four cuttings yesterday 22/08/13 and this is the first time I have took cuttings as I'm just starting out and its all new to me as I'm am 33 yes old I also took 2 hydrangea cuttings 1 fushia cutting swell so hopefully it all gos well and will keep you updated on these first cuttings and any tips are very much welcome

Has anybody tried rooting geraniums in water? I have found sites on the web that say that works ok.
