Have been gardening for many yrs. Always considered a 50 - 60% survival rate of cuttings pretty good. Tried your suggestion of a Vit.C dip and LOW + BEHOLD am witnessing a 100% take of my cuttings. Thank you very much. Just shows that an old dog can learn new tricks!

Lovely straightforward explanation that we always get from British and Australian/NZ presenters - all you need to know in 3:18 mins. Cutting length and rooting solution was particularly well done.

This is the best video out of all of them. I have tried this way and have fantastic results, so I don’t have to buy any more geraniums. For vitamin C i used diluted lemon juice .

This is the best advice I have found anywhere on line. I used to use root hormones and never had any success. Now, thanks to you I have sixty rooted cuttings of geranium peltatum! Thank you and please keep the videos coming.

Hello my name is Deb, I am new to your Channel today as I have been looking for geranium cuttings videos. I had a huge geraniums in a hanging basket that was caught up in a wind storm that hit our Big Deck. I have lots and lots of geranium cuttings from just that one plant alone. It was about two and a half to three feet across and about the same in heigh. Gorgeous dark pink flowers by the hundreds on huge stalks. Probably the best plant I have over wondered in my sun room/ master bedroom and bathroom. Huge windows and mirrors keep it in perfect sunlight in the house. I felt that I needed to take it outside on my huge deck with hundreds of plants sitting, hangings and growing like crazy. My entire garden is within 10 feet of my deck all the way around it. Totally perfect. Thank you for your video on how to do these cuttings. Take care God bless, Deb

I do miss the Vernons family, I used to but my Pellies from them when I was a young lad. Thankfully the large collection of Pelargoniums is now safely looked after by Alwoods nursery. Fibrex are the owners of the National collection of Pelargoniums and have an extensive range of traditional favourites and also have newly released Pelargoniums on sale every year.

Thank You . I over wintered lots of geraniums last year, but I think I was just lucky.This winter I should be able to sure of keeping them and have more from th cuttings . You seem a very nice lady

[labdian]

[angelaberni]

Thank you so very much. You were excellent !! Short and straight to the point !!

How much vitamin C in that glass? and is it ascorbic or ascorbate? good vid. This makes sense to me, as ascorbic acid (vit c) makes the salad last longer fresh. A cutting needs time to root and in that time rotting may occur, maybe thats how the vit C helps here.

She has good info!   I didn't know I wasn't to use rooting hormone on geraniums.  Thanks!!

[janetrobus]

6 months is quite a long winter but it's well worth a try. I would be inclined to check them regularly as Spring approaches to look for any signs of growth. If necessary you could always bring them into brighter conditions on a windowsil or conservatory a little earlier.

Wonderful explanation based on long experience. Thank you.
