More cheerful pink Geraniums

A rooting of my other defunct pink Geranium is blooming and I'm so
thrilled! Geraniums are easy to root, the best time being late spring or early summer. Just break off a fat stem of a Geranium ( at least 1/4 to 1/2" in diameter or larger and take off all the leaves except for the very top ones. Stick it in some rich potting soil or better yet, use Miracle Gro potting mix. Water it just until the soil is moist, not soggy. Watch
it daily, maybe put in partial shade or if in full sun watch to see when
the soil feels dry to the touch and water again. Your little branch should root within about 2 weeks and possibly bloom after about 3 weeks! Try it and see. Geraniums are susceptible to root rot, so that's why you don't want the soil to be too waterlogged.
