Start with a geranium cutting. Using a disinfected pair of scissors, trim the leaves, leaving only a few at the top.
Prepare a bowl of crumbled activated charcoal and dip the live end of the cutting into it. This acts as a natural rooting hormone.
Take an old jam jar and fill it halfway with water.
Take a recycled paper cup and make a hole at the bottom.
Thread a string through the hole, tying it securely, with the longer part hanging outside the cup.
Fill the cup with a mixture of potting soil and perlite.
Place the cup into the jar so that the string touches the water.
Wait a few weeks for the cutting to root – it usually takes around 20 days.
Once rooted, the geranium is ready to be transplanted into a new pot.
By following these straightforward steps, you can easily multiply your geraniums at home. Not only is this method cost-effective, but it’s also a natural and fulfilling way to enhance your living space with beautiful blooms. For a visual guide to this process, don’t forget to check out our video!
