My last batch are now in their 4th year in tubs outside. A wonderful present that just go on and on - I have added irises/small daffs and tulips amongst the geraniums (only a long narrow earthenware tub - and they all flower before the geraniums so gives a great show.
Can you take more than one cutting from a stalk. Say you cut 1/2" above a node and 1/2" below two nodes down. IT probably would not have any growth except for the offshoots coming out of the nodes, so keep them as opposed to what have been at the top of the stalk (the tip growing node). IS this possible, or do I have to use just one cutting per stalk for a cutting. Could root growth be encouraged from a leaf stalk or only the thick rings stalks?
