I have a geranium plant in pot for almost a year now it has given me so many flowers although being a small plant. I have had bad experiences with geraniums in the past but this one is realy something. I want to know what I can do to proprogate my lovely geranium so that i could have others like it.
How Do I get Geranium Seeds?
EASY EASY EASY, all I do with all my geraniums is break off a stem and stick it in the soil....remove all the leaves. I do this with long stems short stems...etc...All of them grow...just dont overwater them....moist soil only...I let mine dry out....get busy and forget...for the most part. Mine get long and leggy and I just break them off stick them in the ground or another pot....
No seeds that I know of is needed. Just a sample of the stem.
Reply:take a cutting , get a smaller leaf put it in rooting powder, plant in pot, it may die off{ it may not } but will come back up,
Reply:Propogation of the plant itself is quite easy to do.

Dip the bottom one-half inch of each cutting in the rooting medium
Below is the one I use.

Reply:Don't worry with trying to get seed. Go to your local nursery, and get a small packet of rooting hormone powder. Prepare some small pots of fresh potting soil (DON'T use garden soil - too much potential for harmful microorganisms). Take cuttings from the plant (preferably from a non-woody stem), dip the cut end in the rooting hormone, and then push the cut end into the pot of soil and firm the soil around the stem. Keep the new plants in a warm area with bright light, but NOT direct sunlight, until the new plants develop roots. Keep the soil moist, but not wet (check the soil with your finger); there should be a good drainage hole in the pot. Be sure the plant never sits in water for more than an hour if you have a saucer to catch the drips.
Enjoy your new plants!
Reply:if you want the new plant to be the same as the old one,you will have to take a cutting,from seed the plants will be variable.
Reply:They root in water as well. Have fun.
