Geranium, with the twig trick multiply it infinitely at no cost

Geraniums are easy to reproduce by cuttings  and that is what we want to show you below, step by step. To endlessly reproduce our geraniums we need the following material:

• a mature geranium
• small plastic jars
• seedbed substrate
• sand
• knife or scissors
• Rooting hormone (optional)

1. First, we select the healthiest, firmest and thickest stems and  cut them above the second armpit counting from the top.  That is, just above where the leaves sprout.

2.  Remove leaves and shoots from the bottom half of the cutting . Finally we cut the lower end of the stem just below a node. This is where there is a higher concentration of the plant’s natural rooting hormones.

3. To improve success rate, soak the base of each cutting in a small amount of rooting hormone to stimulate root growth  .

4. We will fill the pots with a  mixture of seedling substrate with sand . This will improve its drainage. In each pot we will put 2-3 cuttings. We water well and place the pots with cuttings in a  well-lit place inside the house.  It is best not to cover the cuttings with plastic so as not to encourage the appearance of mold.

5. After a few weeks the wound will heal and  we will begin to see the first roots . At 6-8 weeks, the cutting should already have a good, well-established root system.

6. Now we can  transplant each cutting into a single pot  with an ordinary substrate. We will keep them with a good degree of humidity and then in the following weeks we will be able to  plant the geranium wherever we want.

With this simple trick you will have many geranium seedlings in your garden at almost zero cost. What are you waiting for? Try it yourself!
