I'm trying to grow roots onto a cutting from a geranium bush. Do I need to use growth hormone or will peat do?

I read that Peat can be used to grow roots but is this suitable for all plants and especially Geranium bushes? I live in a hot sunny climate where plants tend to sprout very easily.

You don't need any special additives. Regular potting or seedling mix will be just fine.





See source for more information growing geraniums.
Reply:geraniums will grow if you stick the cutting into sand - they dont like a lot of attention or fertilizer.
Reply:I just put them in a container until they root then transplant them, no special soil.


Have you tried the scented variety?
Reply:They'll root in water.
