When is the best time to take cuttings from geranium plants?

Geraniums, are the easiest of plants to grow from cuttings. I do it all through from spring to late Autumn.



Cut under a node, Use a Clay pot not plastic. They root better in a clay pot. Do NOT use rooting powder or gel. They like sandy gritty loam or compost with a bit of sand added. Put cuttings around the sides of the pot with stem as near to the clay pot as possible. Keep in a warm but shady place in a green house, or indoors on windowsill, not in sunlight. They will root in about 3 weeks.



I have done this for years and it never fails. You can also do the ivy leaf trailing ones in this way too.



NB Geraniums do not like a lot of water, just dribble a little when soil feels very dry. If you think its too little that you give them then that is the correct amount.

I have to agree with maranta, as I have taken many cuttings myself at various times of the year. I don't even "cut", I just break off stems from the original plants--they usually snap off quite easily. I remove the lower leaves from the stems, then bunch several stems together, and stick them in some soil and keep it moist. I have done this in shade, and also a rather sunny spot, and had success both places. I've tried this with and without rooting hormone; been successful with both. I do them in bunches, because at least some of the stems are bound to root, if not all. Good luck!
Reply:You can take cuttings from your geranium plants anytime from now until the end of september. Cut beneath a node about 4 to 5 inches in length in half sand/ half peat soil mixture and ensure your cuttings are in the shade at all times. Water them in when first planted but take care in the first few days as they don't like too much water and unlike many cuttings don't like being sprayed. Keep them cool not too hot. They are quite easy and should root within a fortnight.

If you take cuttings now then you can actually put your cuttings outside in a shady spot and they will root there.

At the end of the summer late in August you can take cutting from the plants that have been in your garden over the summer to produce plants for use next year.

Good luck!
