My wife passed away a few months ago and she was a keen gardener. She loved geraniums and the garden is full of them. Now, I have to learn how to do what she did. This video has explained everything I needed to get started. Thank you very much.
I gave my mom geraniums almost every Mother's Day when I was in elementary school. Thanks to this video (and Mom's green thumb keeping the plants alive for actual decades) I'm going to take cuttings from those plants to see if I can grow my own!
I dont use cutters. I use my fingers and snap them off at a joint. Dip them in rooting gel,put them in 4 inch pots with potting mix and place in a window,doesnt matter east ,west ,south, and water . Sucess! Doesnt matter what time of year.
I just stick the cuttings directly into soil and they grow just fine during spring/summer. Just has to remember to keep the soil moist at the beginning before they root in.
I am.moving from Michigan at 73 years old, to Tennesse. I need wsrmer weather. I came across your video and now im hooked and know what my hobby will be after we move. Do you have vide9 of dwarf wheeping cherry tree. I want to try and get one growing from cutting.was a gift to remember our great grandson when he passed. Im praying i can get a new start going. Will mean so much to have a start.Thank You. Your awesome keep videos going. I will be watching
I have a geranium that belonged to my son and my little granddaughter loves watching it grow and flower. She is amazed how plants grow, she's 7 now so I hope to show her what I can about flowering plants. This will be so much fun for her. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for fhe tips!!! It's 1:43 am, couldn't sleep and i stumbled onto your video.😊 I saw a beautiful red orange vibrant geranium at home Depot last week. It's still on my mind, got go get it now. $26 for a pretty decent size, now that i know i can make more out of that one, I'm happy to spend the cash. This method will give me more geraniums to gift and/sell. TY!!! Goodnight 😅
I pruned my geraniums one year and left the prunings on paper for weeks, in my garage. When I eventually got around to planting the prunings, I was amazed that most grew. They are very hardy plants, I find. From Australia.
Thanks a Lot. You help me save lot of money and effort. Geranium are very rare in my city and its not available. But this idea help me get lot of them myself at home. Appreciate your support
Love 💕 Geraniums., my mom taught me a little when I was a kid. Came across your video and brought back memories. I really want to learn more in the care of Geraniums, thanks again I also subscribed to your channel.
I use geraniums in my 6 hanging planters every year and keep them over the winter. This year, probably because of all the rain we've had in the Northeast, my plants aren't doing very well. One stem broke off, after I had already watched this video. I put it in a glass of water, cutting the end at an angle, about a week and a half ago and now it has a tiny green leaf starting to grow on it. Absolutely no flowers or leaves were on it! Wish I could upload a pic to show you!
I Was about to think about those trimmed flowers 😢and then you said you are going to put the flowers in the the jar it makes me happy 😅😊❤. Love ❤️ The video!
Awesome, my granddaughter and her husband just had my 1st great grandbaby in January of this year, She is so beautiful. She started eating veggie baby food when she turned 5month old. I'm going to have my granddaughter save me some jars. Oh boy can't wait it start me some geraniums ❤❤❤
I trim mine starting in jan zone 10b. Remove dry leaves and I stick them into the soil. Done. 50% grow. I also stick them in water. I tie all like cuttings with rubber bands and put in water.
THANKYOU ❤ You are so informative and easily understood....you describe every event etc I hope to try this with some Calliope i bought THANK YOU from England ❤ Look forwwrd to more information as ive subscribed.
Hi dear friend thank you so much for sharing how to propagate geraniums. We really enjoyed the video. It was so informative and informational. Thank you so much hugs and kisses from grandma, Sandy, and Debbie and I have these plants in my yard, I may have to start doing some cuttings. Like you
@@dalialovesdoggies4361 Last year I brought one of my geraniums inside to overwinter in a big pot on a sunny windowsill and she went to seed all over the place. Two babies sprouted up in her container and I'm now about to plant them on outside. Love, love, love geraniums!
Outside I use both parts fish fertilizer. 5-1-1 & 1-10-10 one time a month but it does slightly smell. If inside I use 5-5-5 organic granular (winter months)
Hi, excellent video! I noticed you planted into the pots with dry soil. Did you water them right away? Did they get placed into full sun, or kept in shade?
Question? When you bring them in the Winter do you just put them with the dirt also. I am from the North, moved to the South. We always took the dirt off and hung them upside down in the Cellar. Or, does it matter which way you do them?
I just bring them inside late October & over winter them in a large pot or in the pots you have them in. I place by a West facing window and water 1 time per month.
I put mine in the cellar in the winter. They get very little light and no water. In April I start to give them water not a lot though. When they start to show growth I water them more and put them out in spring. They have been through 4 winters this way and have survived well.
Stems on mature geraniums become tan/ brown at the lower half and green on the upper half. Can a cutting be taken from the tan colored stem, or only the green stock? Thanks for your help and advice.
Did he mention if there is a better time of year to do this? So it just goes into water? My dad just passed and I have a geranium he gave me but it only has 4 stems I am so scared to mess it up.
Clip it back, add fertilizer & water. Then I set mine by an West facing window, East or South facing will also work. Make sure you don't over water. I water mine 1 or 2 times a month.
I like both parts Alaskan Fish Fertilizer. 5-1-1 and 0-10-10. I also like Jobes Organics all purpose Fruit & Vegetable powder mix with water. I think its 4-3-4.
@toadstoolgardens9579 so to be specific, I have to little branches of geraniums on the clear plastic water bottles they have been there for 2 weeks now and I don't see any roots , but I see the little branches turning yellow, so which liquid fertilizer do you recommend so I can put inside the water bottles?
Yes I bring them into the house and set by a West window for winter. I start taking cuttings in the fall if I want more large Mother plants. Then I start cuttings in January for the upcoming season.
Hello, I love plants but I either kill them by watering to much not enough sun or humidity to low. They are to high $ now. I'm single on fix income and have to watch my money. Give me some tips.

Could you do a video on the mother plant how you store over the winter
Best tip was using the recycled bottles. Brilliant thank you 😁💜

Thx!
I don’t even use rooting gel. I put them into any dirt and 100% easy success!
The first thing I thought of
I will use your idea to do mine thank you
@@paulpwthuang thanks for posting this. I was wondering if the rooting hormone was necessary.
I just stick the cuttings directly into soil and they grow just fine during spring/summer. Just has to remember to keep the soil moist at the beginning before they root in.
I do that. I've never had one die yet. They are tough as nails.
You are simplyyyyyyyyyyyy amazing!!!!! Thank you for hanging out with is ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Geraniums are easy to propagate. I just pruned my lot and compost them, some are growing where I dump them.

Awesome! My neighbor did some yard work. Left geranium out on his "give away" table out front! Now I can enjoy them too!

I just fall in love with Geraniums. I plant in the front yard. I’ll put it back inside the house in Winter.
Very informative. I’ll definitely give it a try!

Thank you so much!!! Keep giving us your techniques for propagation of many plants.
I do this with baby food jars, fish emulsion from my iwn tanks. I see roots in 2 wks.

Hurt to see him cutting off the flowers

Super 😊
Thank you that's just what I wanted to know on how to make new plants from the ones I already have they grow great
I’ve never seen that color before. Beautiful!
Geraniums are also super easy to grow from seed.
Are the seeds inside the flower? Rookie here

So helpful THANK YOU!!!
Informative! Thank you for sharing tips, beautiful flowering plants
I snap em off n plant them in dirt water them a little bit n let them go if they grow they grow if not try again.
I just planted my (1)plant outside,in my Garden...I had 4 however 3 died...Tha nk you!!!!
I regrow the leaf also
I appreciate 😊❤
Don't you use that dusting compound on the bottom of the stem to start your cuttings in the dirt when planting in pots...root hormones?
I put cutting in water they root really easily...i leave more leaves on. After lots of roots appear i plant in pot.
Thanks ‼️
I plant my cutting direct to soil and does fine
12:44
Thank you!
Thank you for this very informative video. Can you advise me on what is the best fertilizer for geraniums and when to use the fertilizer?
Outside I use both parts fish fertilizer. 5-1-1 & 1-10-10 one time a month but it does slightly smell.
If inside I use 5-5-5 organic granular (winter months)
Hi, excellent video! I noticed you planted into the pots with dry soil. Did you water them right away? Did they get placed into full sun, or kept in shade?
Yes I do water almost right away.
I do keep them in the shade a couple days after transplanting.
I dip mine in honey and cinnamon as a rooting hormone
Question? When you bring them in the Winter do you just put them with the dirt also. I am from the North, moved to the South. We always took the dirt off and hung them upside down in the Cellar. Or, does it matter which way you do them?
I just bring them inside late October & over winter them in a large pot or in the pots you have them in. I place by a West facing window and water 1 time per month.
Just found my over wintered geraniums have been growing green leaves in the dark!
Will they bloom?
When you bring in for winter, do the plants still need sunlight? Or can sit in dark garage? Do you still water the plant if sitting in dark garage?
I put mine in the cellar in the winter. They get very little light and no water. In April I start to give them water not a lot though. When they start to show growth I water them more and put them out in spring. They have been through 4 winters this way and have survived well.
Do you know the name of this variety? I love the color!
I don't sorry...
is there anything else you mix in the water for them to root out or just plain water?
Just water...
Once you repot cutting in soil, do you put it in sunlight?
Stems on mature geraniums become tan/ brown at the lower half and green on the upper half. Can a cutting be taken from the tan colored stem, or only the green stock? Thanks for your help and advice.
@@ronmiller2954 you can take it from a mature stem , it just might take slightly longer to root.
Liked by # SIDNAAZ fan 👍🤗🐘
Question fir you after potting them do I put them outside in the shade?
Yes set in shade a few days..
I wonder if Home Depot would care if I take a few cuttings?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
How do you keep them alive during the winter? I bring mine inside but they never survive.
I just put them by a West facing window & water about 1 time a month.
Does it mattter if it is a seed geranium or zonal?
It doesn't matter. Both will work great.
Will my overwintered geranium cuttings bloom.
Yes, they should.
Did he mention if there is a better time of year to do this? So it just goes into water? My dad just passed and I have a geranium he gave me but it only has 4 stems I am so scared to mess it up.
Anytime of year you can do cuttings..
Do you water the cuttings after they are planted in the small pots?..
Yes, always water after transplanting.
After transplanting when is it time for their sun?
Keep out of sun about 1 week, Transplant after 2-3 weeks. Pull the plant up out of the pot to check roots.
@@toadstoolgardens9579 thank you🌺
When the geraniums have rooted and you get leaves at the end of long stems do you cut them off so the plant will bush out?
I don't, I just let them grow...
How do you overwinter in zone 5. Almost everything dies even if you bring it inside 😹
Clip it back, add fertilizer & water. Then I set mine by an West facing window, East or South facing will also work. Make sure you don't over water. I water mine 1 or 2 times a month.
What kind of liquid fertilizer do you recommend
I like both parts Alaskan Fish Fertilizer. 5-1-1 and 0-10-10.
I also like Jobes Organics all purpose Fruit & Vegetable powder mix with water.
I think its 4-3-4.
@@toadstoolgardens9579 thank you
@toadstoolgardens9579 so to be specific, I have to little branches of geraniums on the clear plastic water bottles they have been there for 2 weeks now and I don't see any roots , but I see the little branches turning yellow, so which liquid fertilizer do you recommend so I can put inside the water bottles?
@toadstoolgardens9579 also, do I add both 5 1 1 and 0 10 10 at the same time or either would be fine
@@toadstoolgardens9579 do you have Instagram so I can follow you bro
What time of year do you cut
Anytime as long as its not too hot.
How much you cut back geramiums in winter?
What is the liquid in the second bottle from the left?
Just water. It was probably from my well so its a little Iron heavy.
What time of year do you take the cuttings? Do you take them inside for the Winter?
Yes I bring them into the house and set by a West window for winter. I start taking cuttings in the fall if I want more large Mother plants. Then I start cuttings in January for the upcoming season.
